What are your views on anarchism?

[MisSkeptic]

With it being election season in the States, and both Democrats and Republicans battling it out between each other to see who becomes the next president, the media is there to document the latest circus act of American politics.

To tell you the truth I don't have faith in the system, and none of the candidates appeal to me. They all come across as wooden, unadaptable, disorganized, fanatic, etc. I can continue but I think you get the point.

The two major political parties in the United States-Democrat and Republican-have both dominated local, state, and national government for decades. While it's not uncommon, it's still rare to hear someone from a third party, or even an independent, being victorious over the old guard.

In my opinion both parities have been in power for so long that they have run out of energy, run out of ideas, run out of direction, and they ought to be run out of town. Yes, I just took a leaflet from Bill Clinton's playbook.

Anyway, that's why I wanted to discuss anarchism. Throughout history there have been multiple great anarchist thinkers (Lysander Spooner, Peter Kropotkin) who helped contributed greatly to anarchist philosophy.

Whether it be anything from individualism to collectivism, labor, environmentalism, feminism, etc. you can find something in anarchism that is worth to to research. I really found it interesting that  Lysander Spooner's American Letter Mail Company was successful enough to decrease the price of stamps and even offered free mail delivery before it was shut down by the U.S. government.

Now I don't necessary agree with every anarchist idea; Anarcho-primitivism being something I disagree with because I don't share their views on civilization, and romanticize of the "noble savage" stereotype. Because I favor science and technology being used to help humanity, animals and the environment. I just can't see ideas like primitivism being beneficial to mankind.
