Re: [I know very little about] Politics

Most (active) anarchists I have encountered seem more enamoured with the concept of total democracy then actual anarchy but thats by the by.

Neo-liberalism (if taken to the extreme deregulated form) is essentially an anarchist system of thought no? Anachro-capitalism or extreme corpratism.

Re: [I know very little about] Politics

that's about where i tend to come. but there's a couple of questions that they should maybe ask, that would send me a mile straight up the chart.

eg

what should happen to people who park taking up two spaces outside your house?

a) nothing, they're just not very spacially aware
b) a £30 parking ticket
c) they, and every last one of their friends and relations, should be disemboweled, then hanged long enough for crowes to peck their eyes out, then fed to those monkeys that throw their own shit at each other.

and such

It's never been taken to that extreme though, I think in part due to the fact that most neo-liberal political parties seek to merge government bodies and business rather than eliminate government bodies altogether. Closer to corporatism in that sense, which is 180 degrees from anarcho-capitalism, given that the latter has no toleration for monopoly.

Seeing as we're at the old political compass, I might as well try and tumble off the far left hand corner again:

I prefer corpratism (as an intentional mispelling)

I think it's never been taken to that extreme because most big corporations have monetarist leanings. Economically they appear to want some sort of free market for anyone who might wish to challenge them but have an element of protectionism for postion essentially confering upon them even more of a monopoly status.

Why? Paul Staines is a cockhole of massive proportions - and most likely on the Conservative payroll. He's been a right prick on Newsnight, but his unmasking was beautiful (it starts at 1:52).
