& what is it about the place? Is it just some kind of exoticism that has me captive? & is it utterly, lamentably unethical to chase these feelings over the plains of Turkey & in to Iraq, the one Dubya saw fit to pull from the burning wreckage for his own ends? & sign up for a fucking non-profit? Dunno, but I'm struck with the irresistable notion,

I feel the same about the last bit, how I want the world to function. And I am an anarchist in my ideologies for the most part, but I can't stop wondering (maybe blowing things out of proportion in my head, who knows) can any of this actually be possible? Does the human race really have it in us? I know I do, and that you do, and many of the people we know do as well. But what about the huddled masses who just do not Want to care about everyone else? The people who like to pay to get their clothing mended or their cars washed. I donno, this is kind of a tangent, and I grew up inm the suburbs and I don't have a real grasp on the world outside the united states the way that you do. I haven't seen touched felt it all myself, I mean.

big juicy question. for all of its imperfectioins (imagine that) the spanish revolution saw three years & millions of people make a pretty resounding example of anarchism's possibilities on a mass scale. the thing about anarchism is that it IS universal, if not frequently misunderstood, & many positive practical enactments of it may not necessarily be recognised for what they are (& so many violent deeds being misconstrued as anarchism in the past). there are anarchist thoughts, thinkers, principles, practices & movements across five continents (is that how many there are? do i count antarctica? i don't know if there are anarchists in antarctica) - whether they identify as this or not

not sure about Spanish Revolutionaries as a good example. Didn't they rape nuns?
