That's how anarchy has been portrayed by propaganda media since time immemorial because it scares those in power.

Anarchy means without hierarchy. That's it. Rules can still be agreed upon. It just means there isn't one person, or group of elites, setting and enforcing the rules, but that they're agreed upon by consensus.

Just like hierarchical systems, there are many different variations of anarchy. Very few, if any, serious forms call for chaos and everything goes.

Why? Because it would just lead straight back to Might is Right. "I'm bigger, stronger, more powerful than you, so I'll make you do as I wish" isn't a part of anarchist theory.

Anarchism, despite seeming a simple concept on paper, is a difficult and complicated idea. Not because of the core principles but because humans and human behaviour are weird and hypocritical at times.

"At least he is more civilised"

To me, that makes him scarier. He can keep a mask on while stabbing you in the back. Trump, at least, is pretty open with who and what he is.

Hindenburg and others thought Hitler wasn't scary at first. They thought they could control him. Look how that turned out. Civilised doesn't mean moral. It doesn't mean he'll do right for the county and people. It just means he knows his airs and graces when they're needed.

As Backlog said, there's no such thing as a good Nazi.

Gaelic defines colours differently from English. The term "red" here means the orange-brown hue of the rock, which is most obvious in the foreground of your picture.

Great pic!

Buachaille Etive Mòr translates as "great/big herdsman of Etive" for anyone curious, with Etive being the name of the river/glen.

It's definitely an advert.

I thought it was something to do with Kim Dotcom's Mega at first. Such a dumb headline.

Your comment made me think of this spoken piece at the end of Anti-Police Aggro by Oi Polloi.

"Revolution isn't a thing that happens overnight. It's not a thing that - the orgasmic storming of Buckingham Palace and everything's all right in the morning, we've got a revolutionary society. We've got to realize that as things get harder - when we have a revolution, when we're headed towards a revolution things'll be harder still - and when we've obtained our revolution it doesn't stop - it continues on and on and on and on - It continues on until WE are the moderates. Right? When we are the moderates that's when we have a revolution. When ordinary people say "Anarchists? Ah, fuck - they're a load of fuckin liberals - they don't believe in revolution at all, ah, fuckin hell they're useless, like, you know" - Yeah, that's what I wanna see. That's what I'm fuckin' fighting for."
