Op-Ed: Why I’m an Anarchist By: Puck Arks

Written By: Puck Arks Why I’m an Anarchist " Government ” is a monopoly on initiated aggression over a given geographical region funded by extortion and propped up by the belief in the myth of authority. While anarchy consists of peaceful, loving and responsible individuals engaging in voluntary and consensual interaction.  A narchists are commonly associated with bomb-throwing and mayhem on the streets, but in reality that is the government, religion and media’s objective. They need a subservient so ciety in order to maintain control for their oppressive, egotistical agenda.  A narchy is a society based on mutual aid, sharing, collaboration, and freedom. A world that values people where everyone is free to follow their passions. A people who are empowered to solve problems as a community. There is a break with authority where we feel comfortable with not obeying and not having the instinct to obey but are comfortable with our ability to to govern no one b
