Anyone who thinks democracy is a good idea, check this video out. These people are exploiting us and only a fool would want to vote them to power. They only care about money and profit, not what's good for the citizens that pay for this circus.
"WE DEMAND FREEDOM." This is what all anarchists bloviate day after day. Few people seem to bother thinking about what they actually mean by this. How do we define freedom? Some say anarchism is trying to create Ultimate or Absolute freedom, meaning no restrictions at all = everything's allowed. But wait. We all carry values. Some things seem to be less wanted, like dumping radioactive waste in rivers, raping women, torturing children, exterminating ethnic groups etc. Suddenly it seems like "Absolute freedom" is not realistic, since it would allow these things to come about. Think about it: Would you allow your neighbour to shoot your dog, because it was his personal freedom? The problem is that we have different ideas of what freedom is and many of us want different things - and sometimes these things collide with each other. So what kind of freedom should anarchism espouse?
This site you're reading is promoting what we call
communitarian freedom. Remember it, because it's the anarchism of tomorrow; the future. Communitarian anarchism means we believe each group should be allowed to form their own values within their community. If one group wants to be national anarchists, that's fine. If another wants to be communist or fascist, that's their business. In other words, we're talking about a freedom to form a community and sustain the values of that community for the citizens that comprise it. Like in all communities, there will be some things people can't do, and some things people can do. It's a realistic form of anarchy. It wants to remove all power structures that serve no purpose (think bureaucracy), in other words, it's a methodological anarchy, not a static, absolute one. Such societies have never worked in the past, but feel free to give it a try, argues the communitarian anarchist. You do it your way, we do it our way.
Communitarian anarchism is against globalization. Globalism says all people should live under one system of values. Other ideologies that promote this idea include communism/marxism, leftist anarchism and certain forms of fascism. Communitarian anarchism is strongly opposed to the idea of one system applied to all people; we think that leads to the normalization of cultural diversity, creation of giant bureaucratic states, exploitation of our environment, and financial structures that force us to obey dogmatic, capitalist jobs where we slave for a rich elite who don't care about us.
Freedom is important, but it should only be championed when it is defined. Many anarchists lack ideological schooling and therefore scream "FREEDOM" whenever they can, which is why most anarchists are all theory and no action. We cannot act and fulfil our anarchist society unless we know what we're talking about. We need a plan. The plan on Anarchy.net is very simple: We want to go back to local, organic communities, held together by shared values. We need unity and common direction. What we DON'T need is complete lawlessness (which doesn't work, and seems to lack general direction) or one lifestyle/government/system of values forced on all people. That's slavery and it goes under the name of globalization and communism/capitalism.
Anarchism, intelligent communitarian anarchism, is about reducing power abuse and freeing people from their tyrannic masters. It's about true freedom, realistic freedom;
communitarian freedom. You are free together with your people to live the way you feel is best. The leftist and rightist interpretations of anarchism have failed and never once demonstrated they can be applied to reality. We have a chance now to create something unique and new. Be a part of it - because it's the ONLY future for those who believe in freedom and collective self-determination. We're communitarian anarchists, and we're proud of it.
Anarchy Now!
Only since 1800, in the last 0.01% of the history of Homo sapiens, has the human population shot into the billions. Now at nearly 6.7 billion, with 9 billion looming 40 years away, few environmentalists seem to care.
Yet the population-environment link is clear. Our environmental impact, as gauged by total resource consumption for a country or the world, is the product of population size and the average person's consumption.
Today's crumbling environment, racked by climate change, mass extinction, deforestation, collapsing fisheries and more is evidence our total consumption has gone too far. We are destroying our life-support system. In ecological terms we are in "overshoot" of Earth's "carrying capacity" for humans, our demand exceeding the planet's absorptive and regenerative capacities.

John Feeney is one of the few environmentalists that recognizes and dares to spread awareness of one of the biggest problems humanity has to face in modern time: Overpopulation. We're too many people who consume too much - a capitalist invention to make profit, but a dangerous idea that is now destroying our environment.
