Anyone into Enlightened Anarchy?

Hey Hipsters!

Ghandi said that we should be working towards a state of Enlightened Anarchy.

I'm trudging through my own personal way towards this, but feel as if I'm a Prisoner(hence the name). I'm locked in my world of casino surveillance. Wanting, Needing to break free from our heartless soulless system (Of which I've found a semi-comfortable niche).

I feel like Winston Smith in 1984. I feel like Kevin Spacey's character at the begining of American Beauty. (Just broke up with an Oriental version of Annette Benning's character. THANK YOU GOD I DID NOT TIE THE KNOT!)

(Damn, now that I read this description of my life, I didn't realize that I'm as down as I am!!)

Anyway, I'm stoked to find this online bunch and look forward to visiting hipster a LOT!

It looks like just what the doctor ordered!

Be seeing you!

 

have you read many anarchist books ?...james j martin ......"men against the state " is a good anthology of the individualist american stuff ...they influenced tolstoy "slavery of our times "which in turn gandi[an english reader in s. africa] got into .....anyway welcome ...and there are ways out of this 1984ish nightmare !

 

Thank you very much, makno!

I haven't read any of that. But I've been trying to get through my Ghandi reader. I know inside Ghandi would not want people to become familiar with his life and work by watching a movie. He would want them to read what he had to say.

What he said on Enlightened Anarchy was this:
"Representatives will become unecessary if the national life becomes so perfect as to be self controlled. It will then be a state of elightened anarchyin which each person will become his own ruler. He will conduct himself in such a way that his behavior will not hamper the well-being of his neighbors. In the ideal State there will be no political institution and therefore no political power"

Sounds like a great concept for all of us to work towards!

And I will check out those references you gave me.
thanks

 

well its a sure thing our fearless leaders are nuts ...again welcome

Do not be a prisoner. What you do in your own house is your biz!!!! What you think in your own mine is your biz. Your dream's your hopes and aspirations are all YOURS. They can't take that away. Rebel against society in your own way. Be free in your own mind. Love yoursolf and maintain your growth and happiness. Love and Peace. Taz.

 

check out the book the illuminatus by robert anton wilson...he was really popular in the 60's hte book is about a secret society fighting for an enlightened anarchy......its pretty twisted but the author is a genious and a very educational read
