“Part of Anarchy is freedom, so I understand booting me out of the group would be contrary to your beliefs or constitution.”

A member of Anarkiwi Group of 3 years standing has just voluntarily departed after a very amicable, brief, chat. He admitted he was no Anarchist but was lurking because he was interested in our ideas.

My response was that there’s plenty of opportunity to read our thoughts on the public page [anarkiwi.co.nz] and to contact us for conversations too. The insider group is for Anarkiwis only. I’m scanning to make sure our membership is up to that standard.

It’s interesting how non-Anarchists think that without a State there are no borders or boundaries. They seem to think an Anarchist believes, constitutionally even, that freedom means never asserting one’s rights or standing up for one’s own territory. Actually it’s essential! The idea of Anarchy is that society can and must work exactly in that way rather than having Big Brother decide and enforce its standards on us by force.
