You can call me Bobby, I run a little site called Thinksquad. I have an associates degree in industrial design from the Art Institute of Seattle. A bachelors of arts from the University of Washington, and graduated with a double major in philosophy and political science from Rutgers University. I also spent 10 years in the Air Force from 1994-2004, having spent five tours in Iraq and two tours in Afghanistan. I am now a strong advocate of the non-aggression principles, voluntaryism and peaceful parenting.
I believe in anarchism without adjectives, because no one really knows what will work best until we have the chance to try. Local communities should be free to try any non-coercive system, and residents should be able to move somewhere else if they don’t like the way things are going. Through solidarity, competition, and sharing of information eventually a system of social organization would evolve that will be superior to anything that we could imagine today. And even if we were right, we’d only be guessing without going through that process.

Is it just me, or is there a high degree of cognitive dissonance here? After all, Rolling Stone glorifies an industry dominated by the 1 percent* who benefit from a winner-take-all marketplace… .

* e.g., “Tops on the list of up-and-comers are two actual entertainers: Diddy, who boasts a fortune of $500 million, and Jay-Z, who has amassed $450 million.” Good for them, I say! But where would they be without greedy, grasping record-company corporations?
