While philosophical anarchism may be commonly respected,
political anarchism remains a shady activity.

During my last year in Africa I developed an interest for anarchism as a political idea.
I suddenly started to understand that the world we live in is not perfect, there are nobody
with total freedom, man is greedy and works for his own good only, strong dislike between
different people has developed into discrimination. I came to believe that if man could live
in perfect anarchy, with nobody ruling him, he would be happier. He would be free.
Of course I, like most people, also believe that that a society without authorities would
implode, but what anarchists want is not exactly that: they want a world where people are worth
the same and get the same chances, where nobody has the right to abolish your freedom and rights
and where everybody can be themselves and act according to their consciences, not according to
what's ordered from above.
A criminal is imprisoned: Who has the right to take away his freedom? On what basis? A perfect society
should have room for everyone to be free and happy, not only some. On this basis, I have studied anarchism
not as an historical phenomena, like so many others, but as an answer to the questions of modern living.
