I'm sorry to disagree, socialism and true anarchism are simply
incompatible. You cannot have socialism without a government.
Many traditional anarchists are not anarchists, but communists that
happen to call themselves anarchists because they are unable to find a
proper solution for the dilemma of how to redistribute wealthiness
without governance.

They can work without hiearchy, but they can't work without bosses. We
are tribal animals and need a guide. It is our natural tendency. It has
always been, and it seems it will always be.

EXACTLY.
EXACTLY.
EXACTLY.
Who is someone to tell me who deserves to receive my money and how?
That is the the fascism of socialism, that a politic decides for me what
to do with the fruit of my work.


> There's your fascism.

No, you are.
You defend politics that take things appart from me to give it to you,
and you call that anarchism? You are trully confused, like most leftie
"anarchists" that just happen to be comunists in fact, which is in the
radical opposite direction of what a real anarchist is, and liberalism.
And you people insult us, the truly anarchists, you call us fascists
because we don't like to give you our money.

No, it is not. We are not equal, and we already born equal in
opportunity, everyone is responsable to take advantage or loose that
opportunity. If you force me to help you, even if I think you don't
deserve MY help, you are being the truly fascist.

Money is a tool. You can use it for good or for bad, and certainly you
are not the one that may tell me how or why I should use it or not. You
impose that over me and there you are! the perfect dictator!

Money is being used since we were in the caves. There, the money was
animals or grain. Now it is a number in a computer.
You won't get rid of money in thousands of years, probably we will have
to be extinct before we manage to get rid of it.
Even your stupid communes will eventually invent and need some kind of
money.

It is a step forward.
