Message | "...the anarchists...want us to remain stupid and unquestioning!" FALSE. Anarchism stands for the liberation of the human mind from the chains of dogma through rational analysis based on the scientific method and the natural, human rights of each and every man, woman and child to question the very nature of authority, in order to independently come to their own conclusions as to its destructive effects. |
