" Anarchy doesn't mean "without rules" it means "without rulers", and those are vastly different concepts."
This is why I don't often use the term anarchist, but refer to my self as an autocrat. I contend this word has been less assaulted by propagandists and indoctrinators, and people are left to look it up to ascertain it's meaning. There is a connotation that autocrat refers to ruling others, but that is only a connotation, and not contained in the word itself. Also, I do have a ruler: me, so I am not an anarchist, and autocrat correctly defines me.
I greatly appreciate your post. I am not sure if you are aware of the text of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, that is presumed to have abolished slavery in the USA, but in fact does not abolish slavery at all, and merely refines lawful slavery as that undertaken by the state. For people teetering on the edge of overcoming cognitive dissonance regarding their freedom or slavery, this has at times been an important fact that helps them to grasp their actual condition.
I await future posts with bated breath, and follow now to ensure I do not miss them.
Thanks!
