Anarchism and the individual

[butchersapron]

You appear to have missed a rather large chunk of 20th century thought max. In fact, that sort of linguitic approach is pure 19th century.

max's need for certainty* writ large across the forum. You seem to be quite insecure max.

tell the people who write the dictionary to edit out a few words

I don't give a dog's cock about the people who write the dictionary (although obviously you do), what I care about is your evasion, your inability (or perhaps unwillingness) to comprehend a simple proposition (Rocker's), and your vapid condemnation of anarchists based on your own ill-informed opinions.

lol i have a deep prejudice against anarchists (but only the ones who don't believe in anarchy)

You also appear to have a deep prejudice against thinking.

Max, which anarchist thinkers are you familiar enough with to discuss their work when you don't have access to the internet?

 

[ViolentPanda]

It's amazing how your philosophical scepticism stops dead at the doors of the dictionary publishers isn't it?

It's not "amazing" when you consider how often max uses his dictionary definitions as a "get out of jail free" card when he's fucked himself over on threads.
In fact it's quite understandable that his scepticism suddenly evaporates.

SPKMN = Someone please kill max now?

Well, I meant "someone please kill me now", but your interpretation holds true too!

i am speaking english, the english dictionary says what english word mean

if you are defining words differently from how the english dictionary defines them, then you are not speaking english, and there is no point having a philosophical discussion if you just make up your own language.

You'd be talking about philosophy, the discipline that has had a prominent effect on linguistics for the last 3,000 years, would you?

what the word 'anarchist' means in the english language, is what the english dictionary says it means

No, what the English dictionary says is what the compilers of the dictionary believe it to mean, added to which, dictionary definitions are always (by their nature) general, whereas "specialised" definitions can be found in (you guessed it!) specialised dictionaries.
If, for example, I want a specialised and coherent definition of the word "anomie", I'll refer to a dictionary of psychology or sociology, not to the OED.

Odds on a reply that doesn't address your question and indulges max's truncheon fantasy?

i have read a lot about 'anarchy' (Thomas Hobbes, Robert Nozick and a few others, whose work i would love to discuss) but beyond a few bits of trash i picked up at anarchist bookfairs, i have not read about 'anarchists'


'anarchy' is a worthwhile and interesting subject to read about

'anarchists' are a pathetic joke which isn't even funny

Deep, deep research.

Hobbes and Nozick, eh, and yet you still can't fathom a simple distinction between "anarchy" and "anarchism"?

This makes me suspect that any discussion by you of Hobbes's or Nozick's work will actually consist of you posting sentence-long context-free snippets from them, re-contextualised by your spinning them to reinforce your attempts at argument.

Deep, deep research.

He thinks he's a philosopher, he shouldn't have to cloud his mind with anything as mundane as research! Shame on you!
