the anarch

the anarch is a myth, he or she is a living contradiction to the system. He is not a communist or a capitalist, he is beyond that, he is anarchy in human form, he is within us all, but we can never be him, but that is no reason not to try. He is free from all restrictions and finds all life to be joy.

Emma Goldman is the closest I can think of.

Idealism at its best, huh. Sounds like a Nietzsche ripoff.

It kind of is, just an idea I got while high off lack of sleep. (that is a high, don't laugh)

Wasn't that how Ernst Jünger came up with his political philosophy(including that rubbish about the "Anarch")? wink

yes, he styled himself as an "Anarch" after 1945 especially after having read Stirner, he distinguishes the Anarch from the negatively connotated Anarchist, e.g. in his 1977 novel 'Eumeswil', the new right author Heimo Schwilk (unsuccessfully) tried to promote the concept of the "Anarch" during the 90ies

Sounds nothing like a cheap Nietzsche rip-off. Mentioning 'joy' doth not make one a Nietzschean.

Side note - both Goldman and Rocker were influenced by Nietzsche.

Maybe Makhno was something like an anarch to the Ukranian anarchists?

Pretty sure RIAU was democratically, not heararchicaly organised.
