Welcome to Anarchy

Stop.

Right here now you are free. There are no rules governing your behaviour. No law is holding you back. There are limits to your power, your capabilities, it is true. But the more important limits are those to your imagination, the straight jacket of habits, the manacles of fear.

You are already living in anarchy. Authority is an illusion. All the mad panoply of social forms arise from the fundamentals of communication, cooperation, and choice.

The problem is that we’ve all gotten in the habit of cooperating with people on an authoritarian trip. And we are afraid of the choices they will make with the power we have granted them, if we begin to choose differently.

So don’t communicate your choices to them. Choose to communicate with those who would cooperate with your freedom. Imagine our power together.

Go.
