    "Anarchism is a development of liberalism and socialism. The liberal tradition is concerned with the achievement of freedom, the socialist tradition is concerned with the achievement of equality: anarchism maintains that both must be attained together. Freedom without equality leaves the poor weak and less free than the right and strong, whilst equality without freedom makes us all slaves together. Freedom without equality is not really freedom, and equality without freedom is not really equality. Anarchism arose from the contradiction between liberalism and socialism."

    No. You contradict this later when you point out that prior to the technological innovation of the state societies were anarchist (although you incorrectly state they weren't hierarchical).

    The modern philosophy of anarchism may be derived from other philosophical musings, but anarchy itself is the actual state of humanity today. You are an anarchist, and decide how to conduct your affairs yourself. The threats and entreaties of others may persuade you to undertake certain acts, but it is you that decides to undertake them.

    They can rob, torture, and murder you, but they cannot act for you.

    Also, you make a lot of statements regarding anarchist's philosophies you aren't authorized to make, since I don't know that any of them has endorsed your views or granted you that authority otherwise.

    Anyway, despite that, this is an epic post, chock full of educational material, for which I am grateful.

    Thanks!

      I reckon I depend on criticism as much as I do breathing. Pretty sure I'd be dead if I hadn't been soundly criticized for being such an idiot when I was a youth.
