I would agree, I don't think conflict will change the dispositions of a
people willing to be slaves to the system. Conflict is too chaotic and what
should prevail, doesn't necessarily. I consider that the people should grow
into such a position. Perhaps I am naive.. :)

No trolling, perhaps I should exchange the word 'true' for 'pure'?..I
dunno.
Although, according to the paraphrased definition you presented, I don't
fall under the umbrella of anarchism as I do believe in universal truths or
in other words, universal optimals (even if the optimals are somewhat
evasive to human definition). Injustice is a great place to start and
extrapolate from :)

BUT, I do relish in the deeds of Assange, Snowden, and Manning. I guess I'm
all about challenging 'unrighteous' authority. You know, stickin it to the
man.

Rojava is interesting. I'll have to look into their progress.

Inspiring.
