On Anarchism.
"When you see homelessness in a world of empty 
houses, hunger in a world of wasted food, or people 
working three jobs while Billionaires contemplate 
buying a 3rd yacht, something inside you recoils.
. 
You are not reacting to a technical problem of policy 
failure; you are reacting to a moral obscenity. Your 
body knows what the media refuse to say: nobody 
has the right to create scarcity in a world of abundance. 
The hoarding of resources by a tiny few is not natural, 
inevitable, or efficient; it is enforced with violence, 
deception, and political manipulation. Anarchism is 
simply the refusal to accept that arrangement."
