If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don't bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to give you every possible reason to stay at home doing one-hitters and watching MTV on primary day. By all means stay home if you want, but don't bullshit yourself that you're not voting. In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard's vote.

It isn't socialism at all. Income redistribution is not socialism. Besides Scandinavian societies aren't as successful as edgy murican redditard kiddies think they are.

Btw I bet the people who think Scandinavia is socialist are the same oneswho make fun of people who call Obama a socialist. The irony is hilarious

>anarchist
anarchism as such is not a form of "government" or "power", it's a state between chaos/downfall and the creation of a government.
there is and has ALWAYS been a certain group of people that will finally hold the power and anarchism will no longer be, it's as simple as that.

>> No.6736646

>>6736633
No. Egoism generally has different connotations than Stirner's philosophy.

Why be so desperate for an -ism?

>They say of God, "Names name thee not." That holds good of me: no concept expresses me, nothing that is designated as my essence exhausts me; they are only names.

Stirnerist if you must, I guess.
