What's Anarchist?
-
Anarchists are people who believe there should be no government, or that it should "wither away" aka become obsolete and cease to exist.
I happen to fall into the latter category. I believe (and this is a very simple way to say it, bear with me) that the working class should first take control of the government, institute socialism, and then from there progress further to a classless and moneyless society. When that is done, the working class will have ceased to be a ruling class, as there is no ruling class but the people themselves, and the state will no longer be necessary for society.
I aim for a society where there are no classes, money is obsolete, and there is no state, where private property and religion are abolished. Where everyone works in whatever job they like, however many jobs they like, and to the best of their ability. Where property is "owned" in common, and everyone can use it to their need. -
zacsav NewbieThere really isn't any scenario where government would ever become obsolete. Hobbes and Locke agreed on only one thing, and that was the necessity of government. Hobbes argued that humanity naturally comes to form government to ensure public safety. Locke argued that humanity naturally forms government to protect individual rights. Neither public safety nor individual rights are to be found in a state of anarchy, and people naturally will want to have both of those things.

Welcome to the stone age. Where we were all half monkeys.

And the point was missed.
You won't NEED money. Right now, you want money because you need it to buy things. But under the new order, there is no need for money.
As for religion, the idea is not to ban religion. Just like money, there will be no need for religion. "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the hope of a hopeless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." -
zacsav NewbieVery rarely does government or politics have anything to do with what people need, it is much more often about what people want. What people want typically is wealth, so a moneyless society can only last so long.

Money is progress, if not outright banned it will happen.
