THE FUTURE: HOW ANARCHY IS THE ONLY SOLUTION
Comrades,
We are witnessing the fall of Capitalism. All around us: economic collapse, environmental catastrophe, war and greed. An alternative is clearly needed for Humanity-for Terra itself-to survive. But how can these changes be made? How can political, economic and social suicide be averted? This is the ultimate question of the age, and a question which Anarchists have found an answer to.
The answer is to eliminate hierarchy. Hierarchies have always led to contradictions within the fabric of society. Why? Because people simply don't have the same interests. The Master and the Slave, the Lord and the Serf, the Capitalist and the Worker. Each of these hierarchies is grounded upon contradictions; upon conflicts between interests. The Slave wants freedom, the Master wants servitude. The Serf wants all his produce, the Lord wants the Serf's surplus. The Worker wants high wages and low work hours, the Capitalist wants the opposite.
These contradictions lead to exploitation and to oppression. They also lead to conflict. For the oppressor to survive, they must oppress the oppressed, for if they do not, the oppressed will revolt, and become the new oppressors. Therefore the oppressor must use violence, the State, to defend it's interests.
The oppressor class uses it's monopoly on violence to oppress, to exploit and to get it's own way at the expense of everyone else. This leads to most people losing out, while a few gain immense wealth. The drive for profit at the expense of people has led to the terrible situation we are currently under. Hierarchy needs to be ended, and the contradictions of society need to be rectified before they spiral out of control.
So how to eliminate Hierarchy?
Implement Consensus Based Direct Democracy. Implement Democratic Worker's Councils. Implement protest and labour laws. Federate society along democratic lines. Eliminate class division. And finally end the state. This is the only solution, the only alternative to exploitation, oppression and destruction.
It is the future Anarchists want to see.
