Is neoconservativism just anarchism for the very rich? Is it a coincidence that...?

Question

Max Stirner's (an anarchist) book, "The Ego and Its Own" was known as "the billionaire's bible?"

Sorry...what are the "right" books?

Neo: They are liberals, or they identify as liberals? There is a difference between the label one adopts and their practices. Do you think most CEO's are liberals?

Yes, leave it to God to make a good point. We can't survive without the nanny state, can we? Thanks.

clore333: My most profound apologies to actual anarchists. I should have said "nihilists." Mostly I used the term in hopes of upsetting conservatives.

Answer 1

There is a great deal of misunderstanding of the nature
of anarchism.

Anarchists (also known as libertarians or libertarian
socialists, in the original sense of socialism as worker-
ownership-and-control of the means of production)
oppose illegitimate authority and hierarchy, and therefore
oppose capitalism and the state; anarchists do not oppose
all organization: anarchists favor voluntary, non-
hierarchical, self-organization. Anarchists do not oppose
all rules and laws; anarchists oppose rules and laws
imposed involuntarily by illegitimate authorities, such
as the state, and favor voluntarily-agreed upon rules and
laws.

As should be obvious from the above, NeoCons are not anarchists at all; they are extreme state-corporate capitalists and imperialists, and every element of their ideology contradicts anarchism.

(Not to mention the gross misrepresentation of Max Stirner's egoist philosophy embodied in the phrase "billionaire's bible". One should read _The Ego and Its Own_ for oneself.)

Answer 2

haha! I was in a discussion with a Baptist once. I ask him to present tangible evidence but he could never fulfill the request. When I brought my evidence -many books on history, archeological facts, prior existing myths, etc. -He told me I was reading the "wrong books." He then allowed me to borrow his Case for Christ book, written by Lee Strobel. In this book, Lee Strobel claims to use a court-like setting to prove the truth behind the Christian Faith. I read this book and then followed that up with Challenging the Verdict: A Cross-Examination of Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ" by Earl Doherty. I must say, I laughed quite a bit....The Case For Christ is nothing but half-truths and propaganda. I enjoyed Earl's book so much that I bought another book of his, The Jesus Puzzle: Did Christianity Begin with a Mythical Christ? Challenging the Existence of an Historical Jesus.....I recommend Christians do the same.

Answer 3

"neo"-anything is just the latest fun label the liberals have fallen in love with...anyone falling on the wrong side of them are always coated and smeared with bleeding hearted liberal labels.

Neo-whatever is merely the latest in a long line. Long live the bleeding hearted liberals...single handedly keeping the bumper sticker industry going.

Answer 4

I'm poor but I'm a conservative, so this party is not
just for the very rich. They are for lower taxes. They
are for less government. They are for normal
marriages (man/woman). They are for stopping
illegals and all the perks they're presently getting.
They are for line-item veto to prevent millions of
dollars of "pork" from becomming law. I could go
on and on, but you get the picture. Vote Republican.

Answer 5

Your reading the wrong books, and certainly someone needs to full that finger so as to clear your head...

Answer 6

Answer 7

No, they want protections for themselves but otherwise yes.
