More like I used Occupy to compare and contrast—as if there's anything wrong with collectivism.
It sounds like it's helpful to you to normalize everything onto a Left-Right axis. Individualist anarchism is leftist with it's emphasis on indidual rights, under a hierarchy (with psychiatrists at the top).
Social anarchism is... elsewhere? Call it
Agorism or
Mutualism, if that helps.
I'm not that good at political theory. Have another lyric:
Quote:
I was raised up believing I was somehow unique
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see
And now after some thinking, I'd say I'd rather be
A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me
But I don't, I don't know what that will be
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
What's my name, what's my station, oh, just tell me what I should do
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night that would do such injustice to you
Or bow down and be grateful and say "sure, take all that you see"
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls and determine my future for me
And I don't, I don't know who to believe
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
