Floyd, my dear chap,: Robert; I realise that you may not be willing to admit this, but there are, in fact, other options. The anarchist communities that were being refered to are not simply minions of a higher-order authority that supersedes national authority. Anarchism, as a philosophical system, rejects all forms of external authority, not just the nation-state, but all forms. The rejection of the nation state does not imply support for a global monarch. What you are doing here is called "projecting."
The operative word that you use here is "philosophical". In practice, however, anarchists will and are led by leaders very easily. In an ordered society they look rebelious, but when that order breaks down they are the first to become conformist.
: You have a pre-conceived notion that anyone who disagrees with you is either an active agent or a brainwashed dupe of a global monarchist, communist, imperialist conspiracy. This has come up several times before in your other posts. In fact, there is no such conspiracy; there are no commies hiding under the bed, Robert.
Communism is a contrivation of imperialism.
: What SDF was suggesting, which you seem to have completely ignored in your post, was that fundamental changes to the American education system might have long-term benefits, and I doubt that anyone who looks objectively at the situation could disagree.
The operative desire here is the "state" education system. I'll simply restate Marx and Engels' 10th point of communism: To provide for a free and universal state education system. Again, this is thinly vieled imperialism.
: This is simply a fallacy, Robert. Anarchism is the absence of centralised authority. Anarchists deny the right of any one person to impose his or her will on any other. When you say anarchism is a form of monarchism, you demonstrate that your understanding of political philosophy is fundamentally flawed. The suffix "-archy" literally means "a form of rule or government," so "an-archy" literally means the absence of a form of government. It does not mean secret conspiracy of imperial corrupters.
Again that is a philosophical theory. In practice anarchists are easily led and will be the first to demand a central authority when society goes awry. Do you not demand an authority to subsidise through taxation (ie. the force of law) your desires for your state-education programme?
In Christ, there are no worries. He is the Way, the Truth and the Light. With Him you have no need for an earthly kingdom. Without Him you have the false dependence on the earthly kingdom. That's hardly paranoia. The choice is yours. God Bless.
Robert
