Anarchism 101 Lesson #2

I have to thank Donald Douglas for his comments on the last video on anarchism. I mean that with all sincerity. He illustrates the extreme bias and lack of understanding that permeates our society when it comes to anarchism. Here a distinguished professor of political science sees anarchism as just "destroying the established order." In his mind, and no doubt others, anarchism is about destruction and chaos. Hopefully you watched the first video. Now, before we begin the second video, I think it would be nice to preface this video with a definition of anarchism from Emma Goldman:

"Anarchism, then really stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of government. Anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth, an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life, according to individual desires, tastes, and inclinations."

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."
