I wouldn't call my self an anarchist or liberal per say but I do tend towards individualism. I have never voted(US Resident) because I do not feel that I am truly represented by the system that is in place. Some of my friends say that it is surrender but I say it is my refusal to be ignorant of how that system really works and my refusal to take part in that system in any way.
I do not pay taxes, receive social welfare in anyway and basically have as little to do with the system as possible. I basically do what I want when I want as long as it doesn't harm another individual or put my freedom in direct jeopardy. I see wealth as being happy and healthy not as having an abundance of material possessions.
"Socialism is a social and economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy"
"Libertarianism (Latin: liber, "free") is a political philosophy that upholds liberty as its principal objective. Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and freedom of choice, emphasizing political freedom, voluntary association and the primacy of individual judgment."
Socialism and libertarianism are not necessarily opposites. That's the problem with arguing about these ideological dogmas that place people into separating boxes. Start thinking what the values we want to promote are, and develop a deeper political philosophy. These labels are not addressing the root causes. From Wikipedia article on Anarchism:
"As a subtle and anti-dogmatic philosophy, anarchism draws on many currents of thought and strategy. Anarchism does not offer a fixed body of doctrine from a single particular world view, instead fluxing and flowing as a philosophy. There are many types and traditions of anarchism, not all of which are mutually exclusive."
Freedom starts with "I am my own master" but ends before "I am slave to no man". Liberty is the possession of agency, the power to fulfil your own potential. It's important in this modern day and age of mass criminalisation, and of stolen liberties, to understand that the only path to preservation of spirit is through preservation of action.
To preserve our human spirit, we must look not to surrogate father figures, or the great grand institutions but instead to each other, directly from one humble person to another. The Darkness becomes our protective cloak for this nascent perspective.
Very well said.
