The Only Honest Political Philosophy

Anarchism is simply the acknowledgement that tyrants are tyrants, that depravity is depravity, that corruption is corruption, and that injustice is injustice. Anarchists are simply calling a spade a spade. No excuses are invented to defend a favorite flavor of politics. All other strains of political philosophy attempt to redefine these things as something else. They rename tyrants and call them “presidents” (which somehow adds legitimacy to the tyrannical nature of the job,) rename depravity and say instead, “mistakes were made,” rename corruption and call it “protection” and “security” and “taxation,” and they rename injustice and call it “law.”

The political systems of the world are utterly backwards.
