I found some notes from my last plane ride to California. My friend Mark and I have agreed to collaborate and write some essays together, I just pitched this to him, but here’s a basic run down from my notebook.
Anarchism (by Webster definition) means lack of government; and government is in return an authority that is coercive. Anarchism is the removal of all coercive forces put on an individual. Government is an unnatural law, and is therefore a coercive manifestation. Individuals are governed by gravity, and laws of physics, but these are natural manifestation equal to all entities, therefore none of these are coercive.
Anarchism, in turn, then seeks to establish only natural law, a system of raw social instinct; a removal of coercive force and dubious material pleasures.
[Mikhail Bakunin's Stateless Socialism used as references in preceding areas.]
Humans are social creatures, and history has proven this time and time again. Killing is not innate, as killing prevents a species from succeeding. All entities have a will to procreate and seek the success of their own species. Government does not mean justice and discipline; nor does Anarchism mean the lack of justice of discipline.
[Parts of Peter Kropotkin's Anarchism Morality would be discussed, explain the preceeding statement.]
My notes go on about how urbanization removes primal need for cooperation in a capitalist society. Cities are able to survive by individual segregation, versus social cooperation. Individuals can live fine without directly cooperating with one and another. Then how Anarchism seeks cooperative collective communities. Why beneficial to have individual cooperation. Should make for a decent writing.
