Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:
Q: Are you an anarchist? if not, then what?A: No. Most people that believe in "true anarchy" are 14 and still get an allowance. In fact, true anarchy can't ever exist because as soon as a place becomes without laws, d-bags start shooting people up, enslaving people, and taking control of things. Check out parts of the Congo, for example. On top of that, anarchy can't exist because obviously anarchy is how civilization started and it evolved into jurisdictions.
No, I'm more of a John-ichist. We John-ichist believe in the betterment of all things John and that the state's job is to maximize the safety and happiness of John. Our official animal is an Ewok. Our official color is Keith Morris. This is our official anthem.
Interestingly, I'm the only John-ichist that I know. I know a Tony, but he's a Tony-ichist. I know a Bryce, but he's a Bryce-ichist. I know two Britts, and they are each Britt-ichists, but their interpretation of the Britt-ichist doctrine varies widely.
Really, I think nearly all of humanity, and maybe even 100%, really acts in self preservation and masks it behind certain doctrines that just happen to work in their favor, or, if they don;t at first glance, really do when all things are considered.
