anarchy is necessitated by mathematical infinity
Defining ANARCHISMAnarchism has been defined in many ways by many different sources. The word anarchism is taken from the word anarchy. Anarchy, as a word, has roots in the Greek language. Today, dictionary definitions still define anarchism as the absense of government. These modern dictionary definitions of anarchism are based on the writings and actions of anarchists both past and present. Anarchists have understood, as do historians of anarchism, that the word anarchism represents a positive theory. Exterior sources, such as the media, will frequently misuse the word anarchism, and thus, breed misunderstanding. A similar media misrepresentation is found in the use of the word "hacker". A "hacker" solves complex problems while a "cracker" breaks into digital systems. While it is the case that some crackers are hackers not all hackers are crackers.A leading modern dictionary, Webster's Third International Dictionary, defines anarchism as, "a political theory opposed to all forms of government and governement restraint advocating voluntary cooperative and free association of individuals and groups in order to satisfy their needs." Similarly, the Britannica-Webster dictionary defines anarchism as, "a political theory that holds all government authority to be unnecessary and undesirable advocating a society of voluntary cooperation of individuals and groups." A more succinct definition found in the New American Webster Handy College Dictionary defines anarchism as, "the political doctrine that all governments should be abolished." A modern thinker, Noam Chomsky, has refuted these definitions of anarchy as "watered-down". According to Chomsky "...anarchism is not a doctrine. It is at most a historical tendency, a tendency of thought and action, which has many different ways of developing and progressing and which, I would think, will continue as a permanent strand of human history." Indeed, The Encyclopedia of the American Left, contains a three page outline of the history of anarchism and does not once attempt to define the word. Prior to the existence of the word anarchism people used the term "Libertarian Socialism" in place of the word anarchism. Libertarian Socialism was used largely by Mexican radicals in the early 18Th century. William Goodwin was the first proclaimed anarchist in history to write about anarchism. Born in 1756 in Weisbech, North Cambridge-shire, he later married feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and had a daughter, Mary Shelly of Frankenstein fame. In 1783, the book, "Political Justice" introduced Goodwins ideas about anarchism to the world. Pierre Joseph Proudhon and his book, "What is Property?", created a broader meaning to the word anarchism. Because of Proudhon Anarchism became not only a rejection of established authority but a theory opposing the ownership of land and property as well. A historical view of anarchism is not complete without reviewing the works of Mikhail Bakunin (1814-1876) and Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921). Peter Kropotkin is remembered for two books on anarchism, "Mutual Aid, Fields Factories and Workshops", and, "The Conquest of Bread". Kropotkin also wrote the first adept encyclopedia definition of anarchism for the Encyclopedia Britannica in 1910. He started by defining anarchism as, "the name given to a principal or theory of life and conduct under which society is conceived without government - harmony in such a society being obtained, not by submission to law, or by obedience to any authority, but by free agreements concluded between various groups, territorial and professional, freely constituted for the sake of production and consumption, as also for the satisfaction of the infinite variety of the needs and aspirations of a civilized being. In a society developed on these lines, the voluntary associations which already now begin to cover all fields of human activity would take a still greater extension so as to substitute themselves for the state of its functions". Following Kropotkin, Leo Tolstoy furthered the ideas of the word anarchism. Tolstoy introduced Christian anarchism, rejecting church authority in favour of God's authority. Tolstoy, in favour of the growth of anarchism, wrote, "The anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order, and in the assertion that, without Authority, there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy What is Anarchism? http://www.audioanarchy.org/radio/ http://www.rebelsradio.com http://www.greenanarchy.org/index.php?action=radio Anarchists International http://www.anarchy.no/ http://www.powertech.no/anarchy/links.html http://www.neravt.com/left/directory/subjects/anarchy.htm http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?ItemID=4796 |
As 2020 approaches work continues on the Linux based Studio666 Live Audio and Video editing environment. Currently, Studio666 is a Gnome based environment inspired by Ubuntu Studio, Studio64, AVLinux,
At this time, work is being done to migrate the µobsd project into the AnarchyProject. The current release (alpha) is a version of OpenBSD created by the project pioneer, Cesar Yanez Fernandez. µoBSD (2001) is an operating system that fits entirely on one 1.44mb floppy disk. The next version of the µoBSD project is codenamed µHades. Project goals include the creation of a tiny OpenBSD based wireless access point (WAP). For more information about µHades and the AntiChrist bootloader project check out xxxbsd.com. Progress continues following the laws of anarchy.
