Question Everything

An Anarchist blog

Monday, February 23, 2004

Freedom means controlling one's own life, rather than taking orders from other people. Freedom is thus incompatable with any kind of hierarchical authority (relations of command and obediance) because they involve taking orders from others and thus one does not have control over one's own life. Anarchism thus offers far greater freedom than the present system because it destroys all hierarchies and gives everyone control of their own life. Being able to get in a position where you can dominate others (which is what becoming a capitalist is) is the very opposite of freedom.
