I am a self-declared Anarchist and know many in my area. We work very hard to have a positive impact and a kind attitude when operating within our communities. Of course, not everyone will do this, and odds are that the younger the Anarchist, or the more socially dispossessed, the more erratic the behavior. Some of us may not believe in such stringent labels to describe a liberating conundrum like Anarchism, but then again some of us do. If you don't want the label, just don't use it. But don't think of an exchange with someone who differs on your use of nouns as 'less-than-worthy.' Then we are really only adding to the constant in-fighting and bickering popular among certain Anarchist groups. Any philosophy which lends so much freedom to the individual must also be sure to promote the greater existential responsibility that comes with exercising your myriad of liberties, especially when it affects someone so directly. Thanks for the great post! Keep it up, I really like this blog. -Blackpacker Something to remember is that you should always blame the individuals, never the group.

You put your finger squarely on the difficulties in trying to rewild and walk away, acting out the sort of relationships that we want: egalitarian. Great example with the WWI armistices.

Those were the final orders to come down that day.
Waiting to be saved in the Philippines,
You’ll wait forever for the young Marines.

Now I believe to be here is right,
But I have to say I’m scared tonight.
Crouching in this hole with a mouth full of sand,
What comes first the country or the man?

Look at those slanted eyes coming up over the hill
Catching us by surprise, it’s time to kill or be killed…

Over here, over there, it’s the same everywhere
A boy cries out for his mama before he dies for his home.

(WORDS & MUSIC: Greg Trooper and Sid Griffin, sung by Billy Bragg, http://www.billybragg.co.uk/releases/albums/dont_try_this/dont3.html)

I agree that it's really, really important to be kind and to remember that being an anarchist is not just about being tenacious with respect to the dominating system, but also to personally be non-coercive to others in our actions. My former partner recounted to me that her father said, "It's most important to be interesting and nice." I considered it briefly, but mostly dismissed it. Over the last few years since she mentioned that, I've come to really value how important that kindness is. This really makes me happy- it's so easy to get caught up in the difficulties, but celebrating the joys, and emphasizing them, and trusting in the decency of others makes me happy. idealistic or unrealistic? I dunno. But when I think about how i'd like to live with my tribe, I think about hanging out with my friends, of people whose memory can garner an unsolicited smile from me, and how great it will/would be when we're able to chill out, cook some food, and play games all day. I dig, Giuli. Great article!

“rewilding is all about friendship”, “In the end, what we’re really fighting is hatred and fear. And our greatest weapon is our basic human decency.”

Thanks a lot! I couldn't read the whole article because I see the pink stuff on the left trying to take over the whole page, but I got most of it (my husband has an unreasonable hatred for Firefox, so we use IE). I hope you guys had a merry Christmas. I’m going to start crying in a minute. Thanks a lot!
