just a note here for others: you can edit the anarchist faq. Don't be afraid of keeping true to the source text, just keep true to your anarchist ideals and philosophy.


 * Thanks I will keep that in mind. I do bear in mind that the early Anarchist theories could not anticipate the changes in society. The very idea of a decentralized internet with people all over the world connected to it with home computers would have pleased Proudhon, Godwin, and Bakunin. I try to put a modern spin on historical anarchism partly because "propaganda by deed" truly belongs to the period without the internet, mass travel and world-wide communication. We react quicker to local and world events than was possible in the past. So I wouldn't advocate taking your local mayor hostage in the hope that a day later the next town would do the same. The insurrections that arose out of Anarchist agitation during the turn of the nineteenth century normally would get a few days before the state could respond. I'm writing the "What Is Anarchism" section from a pacifist civil disobedience perspective ignoring the theories of extreme individualism or that "propaganda by deed" ever achieved as much as the Montgomery Bus boycott.


 * Basically I'm trying to provide a break with the classic Anarchist interpretation of innate moral justice given at birth to all humans. Modern science has proven that we are all born with the same amount of synapses and that any one of them can simultaneously connect to a thousand others. So life is just synaptic connection after another and it is this process by which we learn such abstract concepts like justice. I think the early Anarchist ideas of innate good falls apart in the face of evolutionary science. I refute the classical Anarchist interpretation of no state but the individual simply because we now view ourselves as part of the animal kingdom - an evolved species that has never been an individual, alone, devoid of others and solitary.

whyyyy
I really enjoy this FAQ. Please authors, write further on it. There are so many red topics ;( --85.180.221.135 (discuss) 20:01, 22 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm unfamiliar with editing Wikibooks. Would it be acceptable to simply copy over the text from Anarchist FAQ Version 15.0? I assume that's the case but I'm just checking. This book could be completed in one sitting with some copying & pasting if we just mirror the latest FAQ. --24.239.43.191 (discuss) 13:34, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

 * from the impression that i get from Copyrights is this article even permitted on wikibooks? specifically this passage:
