POLITICS

[Cuyir]

As much as I like the concept of anarchism in its essence, it's utopian to think that someday it will be possible to implement it in our society. The paradoxical short story "The Anarchist Banker", by Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa, really shows the impracticality of anarchism. I highly recommend it, it's a very good read.

Edit:
I found it online.

I don't like anarchism. It's too much of an idealistic state of mind. Anarchists like to say that without a government the people can rule themselves and therein lies the issue.

Then the strong, better armed and more violent will ''lead'' the people. As much as I dislike all the governments i've been under, they're a lesser evil compared to anarchism.

I haven't been a fan of a SINGLE north american government. Ever. Not once in my life. But they're a reality and you learn to live with it. Kind of like living with a personal flaw or illness: you recognize it, you try to fix it however you can, but at the end of the day it is what it is.

And for the record, I don't think of myself as a liberal or conservative.
