Anarchism
by Bill Kauffman

But except for the anarchist-tinged Industrial Workers of the World, the radical labor union that reached its zenith in the early twentieth century, anarchists have never been adept organizers.

 

I've got news for you Bill.

How then can I arrange this equitable exchange?

One must depend upon the other; and thay may be news.

http://www.newpantagruel.com/contact.php

tNP Staff you can Contact Directly:

or

Letters for Publication:

 

Words are a terrible thing to waste.

Here is the plan:

Write this post and link it to an e-mail. Just one e-mail sent to one of those listed as direct contacts. My conscience abhors individual crimes of commercialism. If my efforts toward equitable exchange are not wanted, then, my one product will exceed the demand. The product must sell itself.

Next on the list would be a letter to be submitted for publication. It too would need to be equitable; and how tough can that be?

It stands to reason that the goal must be a negotiated settlement of value for value and therefore a means must exist by which one can communicate value if one has any chance whatsoever to exchange value. One cannot, for example, want something that is invisible.

I've already begun the process; having elected to identify a specific contention and therefore, for my part, I have already received the initial offer from my potential partner in this specific commerce called Anarchism.

Here is the offer I choose to receive:

anarchists have never been adept organizers.

The above is as true as:

Individuals have never been adept organizers.

That should do it.

Now what?

One cannot see the value of something that is invisible.

I'll send this much: To whom it may concern

To Whom It May Concern:

 

In response to this:

http://www.newpantagruel.com/issues/2.3/anarchism.php

From here:

http://www.lewrockwell.com/

 

I’ve begun this:

Anarchism is an individual challenge. One can then challenge another one. It may help if truth can be, reasonably, identified if the effort is to be factual. That is to say: If it is a good idea to be factual, then, it is a good idea to resolve contentions concerning reported facts.

 

Otherwise the facts remain invisible.

 

I have a hard time expecting equity from others, lately, so this offer will end shortly and it will be contentious; having a prejudice and a healthy dose of presumption.

 

Please consider reading a few items (linked below) and if you see any value in it, then, please consider editing out the error wherever and whenever it manifests itself. One might even consider reporting some interesting facts concerning Anarchism. Who knows; maybe some day the word “Anarchism” will actually have a current and common meaning - something prideful, presuming to contain value, and worthy of prejudice against any efforts that misrepresent the concept.

I must confess that my limited knowledge concerning the writings of Benjamin Tucker is limited. However; that source comes after the fact or in other words: after the historical emergence of the concept in question, that source is a superfluous redundancy much like our exchange here and now, perhaps, without the mincing of words.

 

One who knows little about a topic might want to do more homework before continuing to profess knowing it. Consider me to be in that group of ignorant individuals.

 

My door is open and on the mat is written Welcome with a caution. Please do stop in and give me an earful. I will listen. Expect equity. One just might learn something important.

 

On the other hand; do consider me to be unimportant and completely irrelevant. There is plenty of value contained in the words linked above.

Like this:

 

"Responsibility must be Individual, or there is no responsibility at all."  Josiah Warren (1852)

Above is a cut and paste of my e-mail to the editor.

As to my own sense of propriety it may well prove that my 'chip' remains on my shoulder - so much the better. Meanwhile a case can be made for patience concerning the submissions of letters to be published.

Beating a dead horse comes to mind.

Note: Reading Don Quixotic IS on my list of things to do.
