Alright, so I'm really curious about how y'all feel about our little "justice" system. I was under the impression that the corruption and racism of the legal system (and that applies to pre- post- and during prison time) were very well known and understood by... breathing, thinking mofos and especially POC.

www.infoshop.org has information on the origins of anarchy...but yeah i just started becoming interested last night.
i too was given the same definition of "anarchy" in grade school, it was actually defined to me as "chaos", which i really resent. but anyway...yeah i met some cool people from this anarchist collective during this summer as well. but yeah it's anti-authority. apparently what really truly is denoted by the terms anarchy & anarchism are hotly debated by self-proclaimed anarchists...but it's founded on the basis of an-archy as in no hierarchy...i have some research to do...i don't know how much of this is relevant to you, but i went to this socialist meeting on friday where we discussed the bolsheviks and the october revolution in russia, and the IWA (international workingmans association) or what was the "first international", which marx was a part of...and i discovered that the 1st IWA was made up of roughly 1/2 socialists and 1/2 anarchists...
anyway i found this relevant because a lot of earlier organizing of socialism and communism involved anarchists.
but yeah there are all these different sects of anarchism, it seems...like primitivists, who are anti-civilization, and think "civilization" began when the hierarchy of man vs. woman began...but let me stop rambling because while i find it fascinating, you may not...
but yeah anarchists are anti-government, for various reasons, depending on what type of anarchist they are.

Nah, actually I do too. And thank you for replying. You prompted me to read up on something that I've been meaning to for some time now. And thanks for the link. I've been glued to it.

No doubt. I'll let you know if I discover anything good. Or at least if that is what I was thinking of that gave me the "feel good" feeling.

lol I swear i'ma go back in your journal and i'ma find the entry where you posted a pic of him and some other cat(s) (I think one of them was jude??) and you captioned it by calling them the black griot. Or maybe just griot. I dunno, but I'm not crazy! lol
