Iagree with Scotts observation... >>And two, if you think you're going to have anarchism, or any social >>structure for that matter, free of tribal segregation, you're wrong. ...and Thomas'... I really >dont see the point in romanticising tribalism. > ...except for this... Citizen is the status given to good little >model >fascists. That kind of status system is exactly what anarchism is not. > > .thomas ...because, and I'll go out on a limb of my own making here, I do consider myself a 'citizen'. Not of any city-state-nation, but, as someone suggested, of the world. Yet I would also consider myself a citizen if I were part of an anarchist community. Being a citizen does not seperate me from anyone else. Indeed, it allows me to feel more fellowship, at least with my fellow 'citizens'. If there are fascists lurking about then yes! I do seperate myself from them, and I am proud to be a citizen ( compared to the 'subjects' of a state ). Thank you all for these insights.
