Ok I just re-read that post and realised I fucked up some of the typing.
The point I was trying to make is... All, well most, of us are consumers, and most likely will grow up to be/ already are capitalists... It is almost impossible to escape in our society. But, just because we believe in a fairer society, does not mean we believe in anarchism. And, as anarchism is a serious thing, we should not decredit the symbol, and exploit it for fashion, and to make a statement of "Non Conformist" because by doing that, (oo it gets postmodern now) you are conforiming... 'NON CONFORMISTS' ARE CONFORMISTS... :p
I do not think that we should 'idolise' bands that sprout anarchistic righteousness whilst being signed to a record company and making money. I don't think we should use 'anarchism' in such a light manner, and I think most of us woud not have the self-control required to live in an anarchistic society.
Um, I think thats it :p any questions ask me
By the way this is not meant to be angry, or aggressive, I just want to point it out because everyday I see friends and other people mis-using or degrading 'anarchism' and left ideaology. I do it too... I wear brands, I buy CD's etc...
im heaps tired.. im gonna go to bed, as i said before any questions/comments lemme know
;)
