      You are already free

      (anarchism) / Anarchism is acting as if you are already free / Freedom is using individual will to realize Anarchism -> well, here it is. a claim said by anarchists which says the thing I call Existentialism [political agorism] is one specific form of Anarchism. (found in the context of an interview with David Graeber, who was claimed to be an anarchist at some point in time.) I think this claim is inherently contradictory such that it could not possibly be true. if anarchism is acting as if you are free, some people are already anti-vaccine, anti-immigrant, anti-Islam/anti-atheist Tories before they do that, and then they can do "anarchism" on top of being a Tory. so anarchism would then be a system where half of the population transitions to fascists with a fascist state and half of the population is anarchists and the fascists kill the anarchists (potentially). I think most anarchists would not say fascism is part of any anarchism, so this is not a definition which can actually mark off where anarchism starts and ends. on the other hand, the claim that anarchism generates Liberal-republicanism is more plausible, because nothing rules out Liberal-republicanism being what anarchism looks like in reality, and it doesn't rule out the possibility that anarchism generates Liberalism and Liberalism then generates fascism.
