France regional elections: far-right nationalist party tipped for big gains

[QUOTE=Conscript;49267616]I don't think your statement means anything anymore, it's just ideological masturbation ('tea party is closer to anarchism than anarchists). The point was most historical anarchists would have a cow at what you said, and that classical liberals are no closer to anarchism than any other sort of liberal. As for what they want, it's called anarcho-syndicalism, parecon, council communism, or (as the Kurds seem to like) libertarian communism.[/QUOTE]

You say that I'm participating in "ideological masturubation," and then you spout out... that. I mean, really? I'm trying to talk about real ideologies that actually have real ideas about how a successful society might run. If you're include the fringe crazies who come up with half-cocked unfinished ideas, then essentially any position possible exists somewhere and all political generalities are useless.

[QUOTE]The Tea Party and other 'far right' groups are a whole lot closer to anarchism than any leftist group in the US.[/QUOTE]

Proudhon was arguably the first to refer to himself as an anarchist, so I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean.

[QUOTE]What is to be the form of government in the future? I hear some of my younger readers reply: “Why, how can you ask such a question? You are a republican.” “A republican! Yes; but that word specifies nothing. Res publica; that is, the public thing. Now, whoever is interested in public affairs — no matter under what form of government — may call himself a republican. Even kings are republicans.” —

“Well! you are a democrat?” — “No.” — “What! you would have a monarchy.” — “No.” — “A constitutionalist?” — “God forbid!” — “You are then an aristocrat?” — “Not at all.” — “You want a mixed government?” — “Still less.” — “What are you, then?” — “I am an anarchist.”

“Oh! I understand you; you speak satirically. This is a hit at the government.” — “By no means. I have just given you my serious and well-considered profession of faith. Although a firm friend of order, I am (in the full force of the term) an anarchist. Listen to me.”[/QUOTE]
