| ANARCHIST ORGANIZATIONS Anarchist organizations, particularly on the left, are correct in recognizing no society run by order can fucntion (and never will) as idealistic as they imagine. They correctly recognize consensus, direct democracy etc are by no means "perfect" though, through direct democracy, consensus, etc. they argue, are the best methods of organizing a free society- despite its flaws. What anarchists which believe in such methods do not realize is by expecting a society to function in an organized manner (in the present, in attempts to subvert the system, and more so after the revolution) are to believe people not as free, wild beings, but commodities expected to function and act according to the plans of the social as well as economic order of that specific anarchist system. To expect people as such is to re-introduce the present hierachial system- in the same oppressive manner- though on slightly different terms. At first glance such systems may seem like a free society: people may express their own opinions on any subject, they may wear what they wish, they may-with the collective decision of others- operate the economy, create rules, guidlines, participate, etc. though on a grander scale- such anarchists are doing exactly what is accepted and expected for that system to fucntion, therefore fullfilling the roles of that specific function reducing themselves to lifeless, meaningless commodities who's only function is to function in that certain economy. Such "free" beings would be expected and dictated to function only- therefore never wholely living and experiencing an unrestrained, undomesticated free life. For those who want to live fully, to live free, we must destroy all order which is imposed on us through its authoritarian dictates of its "free" guise. |
