- Political Statement
- Anarchism poses the question not simply of a struggle between classes based upon economic exploitation. Anarchism is really posing a much broader historical question; that even goes beyond our industrial civilization, not just classes – but hierarchy.
Hierarchy as it exists in the family; Hierarchy as it exists in the school; Hierarchy as it exists in sexual relationships; Hierarchy as it exists between ethnic groups.
Not only class divisions based upon economic exploitation, and it is concerned not only with economic exploitation – it is concerned with domination.
Domination that might not even have any economic meaning at all. The domination of women by men, in which women are not economically exploited. The domination of ordinary people by bureaucrats, in which you may even have welfare, a so-called socialist type of state. Domination as it exists today in china, even when you’re supposed to have a classless society.
So these are the things that I noted in anarchism, and increasingly I came to the conclusion that if we are to avoid the mistakes that were made over 100 years of proletarian socialism; if we are to really achieve a liberatory movement, not simply in terms of economic questions, but in terms of every aspect of life; we would have to turn to anarchism, because it alone posed the problem, not merely of class domination, but hierarchical domination. And it alone posed the question not simply of economic exploitation, but exploitation in every sphere of life. - Organisation

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman](This is another pastiche from RL stuff, this piece is aimed at the claim that history is a science. This is an extension of another debate concerning the claim by some marxists that historical materialism [and marxism itself] is a science)[/FONT][/SIZE]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]These are just a bunch of postings i've made on this topic. I had a discussion with a comrade offline about this stuff and it got me thinking about compiling all these into one post. [/FONT][/COLOR]
There's a lot of stuff in here, from the material feasibility of nuclear power as a global solution, to the issues of Indigenous 'land rights', 'progress' and technocracy.
