Thread: Anarchy in Minneapolis!

    Anarchy in Minneapolis!

    It's all over the media. It's anarchy! There is rioting and looting in Minneapolis, it's anarchy!

    Additionally, some in the media will also refer to the Antifa communists who initiate violence and destruction as "anarchists".

    Both couldn't be more wrong. Not if we define anarchy by it's classic and literal definition of "absence of government".

    Let's address the latter. Are Antifa street agitators anarchists? A few may believe that they are. But the people who use them, such as Democratic Socialists, have no such illusions. And their goal is clear. A massive, all powerful government. They want a huge Mommy state that takes care of the poor (it won't), establishes social justice (it won't) and crushes all opposition (it will try, and it will be the primary goal). This is the exact opposite of anarchy.

    Now for the looting and destruction aspect. That is not anarchy. As a matter of fact, it is directly the result of government. Government insists that it is the only entity that can provide protection. Anyone who dares to try to defend their property will be arrested and charged. A pawn shop owner in Minneapolis can attest to this fact.

    So government abandons businesses and private property, leaving it to be looted and destroyed. Meanwhile they actively prevent self-defense. This is the opposite of anarchy.

    By textbook definition, if there is an absence of government, people would not be stopped from defending their own property. There would be much less destruction, and likely no looting at all. True defense of private property discourages rioters, vandals and looters.

    Call what is happening in Minneapolis at night what you like. Rioting, vandalism, looting, arson, mayhem. Don't call it what it isn't. It is not anarchy.

    I wish more people would actually look up the definition of anarchy rather than group it with chaos and destruction.

    Pity the fools who bought property there.

    Burn it to the ground and impale the apologist mayor while they're at it.

    If they are taking territory I would think they would be thinking along these lines. Call for independence, pick a name for the region, setup a website that shows the state boundaries and Constitution. Tell the police they have X number of days to GTFO if they have not already. Take over all government buildings that have not already been taken.

    Then form a national guard and to delay or prevent going head to head with the federal government as long as possible, assigns a senator and/or house rep., or Ambassador to DC to declare they represent the new region.

    Was just talking to someone today who thought the definition of anarchy was chaos and destruction. That actually may be the most common understanding. Illiterate, but common.

    To not have rulers is the very definition of chaos and destruction for the majority.

    Curious, young or old? I wonder how much of that is a generational thing.

    I'll say it again; the people will put up with all kinds of oppression, but straight murder in broad daylight they will not abide.

    Relatively speaking, old. Not sure how long ago the definition was set in the American mind. Probably goes back to the original dispute between anarchists and communists. I.e. somewhere after 1870...

    Enraged watching it. If they fought back the problem with people in this country is that they are so damn brainwashed by the boob tube and cable news they see these animals as heroes. They would be crying if any of them were harmed while thanking them for their service. The amount of boot licking on cable news is disgusting.

    This is why I think they had the right tactic going after CNN last night. These cable news networks need to be put in their place.

    The news media is culpable in the daily beating and deaths of Americans at the hands of law enforcement. Their constant defence and boot licking on behalf of the police gave them carte blanche to harm people since the police know most of the time the news media will give them cover.

    I saw that too. Just one more travesty in a situation rife with them. That it's been allowed to come to this is both shameful and pathetic.

    If it was a requirement for anyone on a Police Force to be ELECTED (like Sheriffs), could this still have happened?

    What's happened in Minneapolis, as well as in other cities, is anarchy. It's stems from the absence of self-government, for those rioters and looters have no temperance upon themselves when it comes to other people's property. Anarchy is sin, and it should be deterred at all costs.

    I haven't seen anarchy applied to a person's mental state, but an interesting comparison.

    The schools have been teaching that James Garfield was shot by an anarchist for well over fifty years. Charles Guiteau was a campaign volunteer, a general toady, and constantly angling for a government job (preferably an ambassadorship).



    Does that sound like an anarchist to anyone? Clearly the school systems want people to think anarchist is synonymous with demon.

    I've also seen textbooks that call Gavrilo Princip, killer of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and official scapegoat of WWI, called an anarchist.

    Sounds more like a wanna be tax tick acting out of an unrequited love for the state to me.

    The word "anarchist" is often used when they want to conceal the true motivations and affiliations.
