How about explaining here for the benefit of people who don't live in Dublin?

What is Anarchism (or is it Anarchy?)?

Because as far as I know, it's the idea of a society without any law-makers or police or religion or any structure...

And I can't possibly see any benefit of this: All that would emerge would be mob-rule, an end to money, equality, development, democracy, socialism, and ultimately the advancement of the human race, and the creation of mobs, oppression of the weak by the strong, widespread crime (though it wouldn't be called crime), hermitism, disease and poverty.

To work, it would rely on everyone in the world being inherently good-natured, and if that were true, there would be no problem with the system we have.

you can look at this site and see anarko-ideas in action.

these IMC are anarko-collectives:

(especially Tuscana bella bella Tuscana)

neither Anarchy nor Anarchism would bring about mob rule. We would just call another assembly for another day when the old timers would turn up and bring some sense less hugging and bit more practical experience.

Anarchy is based on many shared and "broad-band" notions. The nature of "Property", what it can be ought be and can be shared or freed (info-bio-tech) also money $€ debt repayment, property in terms of "homes" and the inefficacy of "leadership" structures, which due to apathy and non involvment lead to "mob rule" except that "mob rule" generally wears a uniform.

I think you will find in all the "structures" you list and it is a very traditional list [government-church] there are groupings that wish break down "hierarchal/patriarchal" patterns in favour of what seems to be coming to be termed "fluid organisation".

That is an "anarko-concept".

Anyone intending to go to this meeting should bring a few quid for the various papers and pamphlets shoved in their face before during and after.They will also hear a Teacher employed by the state whingeing about the state.If the state is that bad why the fuck does he work for them then.Also,don't ask any questions about an alternative as they don't seem to have one that makes any sense.

People would be much better off if they went to an SWP meeting, where nothing like that would ever happen.

Anarchy is THE most stupid idea in history. It's the knid of thing 5 year olds dream about and then think better of. "A war of all against all" anyone?
