Hello! This is a poster series I just started called "This Is What Anarchy Looks Like!!!". I will be coloring this one digitally but I got really stoked while editing it, so I wanted to put it up right away. This is just the black and white version. I have a whole series of them coming out because quite frankly I'm tired living under government, so I'm not going to. I want the whole world to be Free. I want liberation and enlightenment for everyone. I know that this is possible and I think people have been talking, writing, making art, music, etc. for years and it's about time it starts happening. We have evolved we are evolving and we really don't need people to tell us how to live anymore. It seems that no one has the answers but we now know, without a shadow of a doubt and with plenty of historical data to prove it, that government has failed, in every regard except... One... it has taught as what we now know(kind of like the snake eating it's own tail), every major "socio-economic" movement has failed, and any new forms put in their place will eventually fail. Governments are just a dysfunctional manifestation of the collective egoic action to pass off responsibility to some one else. Feudalism, Monarchies, Communism, Socialism, Capitalism, etc.... they have all failed, they are done. We can now start to live free. We can de-calcify our Pineal Glands, deprogram, re-educate and learn the tools and starting tuning in to how we can live the most amazing lives, and not tomorrow but RIGHT NOW!
I know that some may view these Posters as "Political" or "Radical" or whatever else wants to view them as... which is completely acceptable, except these labels could not be further from the Truth. I am making a statement as Human Being, not a "this" or a "that". I know this is passe to a lot of our generation because it involves something more then a trend, or what's "hot", but fuck that... I'm making a statement... I am Free, I am Creativity and I am Flowing and you can be too. We all know governments are bogus... what have they done for you? What does wearing a suit mean? And when everyone has their Phd because there are no "jobs" left and people just further their education because they don't know what else to do... what good is that going to do anyone? We're going to have a lot of doctors running around not knowing what to do because they believed their Indoctrination. But have no fear, they're going to think they are really intelligent; they got a sweet certificate from Yale or Harvard or any State University, I'll even throw-in Private Institutions. But the fact of the matter is that they aren't more INTELLIGENT, they are just more INDOCTRINATED. It's funny because there are a lot of experts talking these days but does anyone else see what I'm seeing? I know you are... I know I'm not the only one. And what are the experts still doing... Talking? Why don't we stop talking for a second... sit in a quite room and breathe... start to focus on our breath... meditate... and realize that we aren't the expert we thought we were and wake up to the Truth.
This Is What Anarchy Looks Like!!! will serve as my creative interpretation of The Situation but by no means am I trying to convince anyone of anything. If these ideas resonate with you, that's awesome, if not, start researching, stop listening and obeying authority and start to wake up. I also suggest that we all should start focusing on our health a lot more, we might see some pretty amazing, worldly, cosmic things start to happen. I don't like to tell people what they SHOULD do, because I don't know what anyone SHOULD do but I think most people will admit that what they are doing in their own lives isn't working, not to mention that things don't seem to be going so hot "out there", if you know what I mean.
Also, I'm getting a bunch of these printed, at some point and I'm going to post them up around. I will be selling high-quality versions at my online shoppe shortly. Until then, download it and send the image to everyone you know. Post them up, blog about them, I can send you a hi-res if you want to print them out and hang them up... whatever... let's get viral! And look out for the colored version and more posters to come!

I agree with you sentiment! We are all free to be enlightened! Your art work is Very "emotive", I can feel it. Amazing! Thanks for your post.
I agree & disagree. I want to be convinced. Convince me please

I hear what you're saying and to some extent agree. However, I think there's an exception or two to your claim that Phd's equal furthur indoctrination and don't help anything. Yes, a Phd is just a piece of paper and an individual can acquire the same knowledge through their own educational ventures. Regardless, an education (whether self given or University given) can prove beneficial to society, humanity, one's self, etc. A Phd (or education...whatever) in sociology for example would certainly give an individual knowledge on the structure of systems, where they have failed, and thus a better concept of where to go from there. Where an individual receives their education, what their education is in, as well what it can be used for (whether its for a career or just for helping the community) all makes a difference in how beneficial it will ultimately be. Granted there are degrees, such as business, that only serve to perpetuate the staus quo. But I feel there are exceptions. In that same breathe I believe nothing is black and white and that the world (and everything in it) is subjective.
Furthurmore, even if we dismantle all forms of government we will still need people who know how to do various things. We will need medical assistance, mechanical know how, construction skills, agriculture, etc. People will need this knowledge from somewhere. We will need people to teach other people the skills they have...this is beginning to sound like a form of organized education. In a post governmental world how will distribution of knowledge and skills be handled? Will we just roll with it and hope it works out? Will people take care of it themselves and organize? As I write this I begin to wonder....Unless we evolve into beings of higher consciouness and dimensionality we will likely need some form of community organization to help each other live. I have a feeling that if we wish to survive and do it sustainably communities will need to offer services to each other. If we self organize, even on micro scales, doesn't that qualify as some form of government? A form of self governing?
The idea of anarchy is a nice one. The idea of communism is a nice one too, unfortunately communism hasn't really worked out. How exactly will anarchy work to the benefit of everyone without organizing after the governments are gone? How will we prevent governments from reforming? Wouldn't that require people to govern the actions of other people? How does an anarchic world stay anarchic?

First, I would like to thank everyone for commenting, there seems to be a lot going on these days, to take time to comment on my post is pretty awesome.
I'm not going to convince you of anything, I can't. I feel that you can't really convince anyone of anything but you can help open them up to new possibilities.
I agree with the idea that no-thing is black and white, it seems that the Universe (i.e. creation, systems, light, sound, pigment, etc) are all spectrums. I think we only polarize things when we try to understand it, we break it down into opposites so we can better understand the stuff in between and what goes beyond the polar opposites.
I would like to address the 'Phd'- comment and maybe clarify a bit more. I wasn't necessarily commenting on a Phd versus no Phd, or indoctrinated education versus free education. We both know I would have to write a book with lots of facts and footnotes in order to prove to you that all state or corporate-sponsored, systemic, education is in fact indoctrination. I was more commenting on the fact that in this earthly epoch we have the most 'Phd's' we've had on this planet and do you think the Earth, the Universe, or the Kosmos, is more balanced because we have so many 'Intelligent' people with Phd's? I have many friends and family that are continuing their 'education' in the name of furthering themselves to better humanity, with a career for example. They have been indoctrinated, exploited, manipulated into thinking they are paying for intelligence, for knowledge, for information that will actually help them. In the short term this may be true, but with longevity in mind, it is far less a truth. And, in fact, they are just being indoctrinated into a system of status quo or State/Corporate-sponsored living. I think I am more concerned with the perception of intelligence versus whether or not someone has a Phd.
There is no system for Intelligence, it just Is. But that doesn't mean that we can't find ourselves, our Intelligence, within the System, it seems like we have to. You don't have 'teach' it to anyone, they just have to find it within their Self. I didn't say that getting a Phd would bring no results, or no benefits, it's just not the benefits that it's all hyped-up to be, and when everyone has a Phd and things are still kind of awkward on this planet... then what? Is everyone an expert then? We can all be experts who know absolutely nothing, or no-thing.
I feel that Everything is not subjective, it's not even objective. Everything is more like a dance between the two. Imagine that Subjective and Objective took some ecstacy and are dancing the night away (with glow sticks or whatever)... and then they had a baby, that is what Everything Is.
In terms of what education will look like in a Anarchist Society? It looks like THIS and it is really up to Us. It doesn't have to be in a classroom, in an Institution, in a State or Corporate sponsored concrete prison. True Education comes from within, all the information we need we were born with, it is within us. There are people around us to help us with the information, but if we find any truth in it, we realize that it was within Us, the Individual, the whole time. No system of indoctrination will give you the truth but at the same time I feel that one can find it within themselves while participating in an indoctrination, like systemic education. So, one could argue that getting your Phd, as long as you have found the Truth within yourself, is perfectly acceptable. That's not really for me to decide. I'm not saying that there is no one out there, who has a Phd, that hasn't realized their indoctrination, or they haven't found the intelligence for themselves... but I can guarantee that it has less to do with the Institution they are affiliated with and more to do with the Individual and his/her level of freedom.
You said, "unless we evolve in to beings of higher consciousness..." you haven't yet? You haven't evolved into a being of higher consciousness? That is what this space is all about it... it's accepting that we have Evolved, we are Evolved, we are Evolving, and we are Higher Consciousness. And now we have to figure out how to live with that.
Anarchy, like Communism, is not "an Idea" and it's not really "nice" either. Anarchy, by popular definition, is Self Government, it is autonomy. What that looks like... come over to my house, I can show you One example. We don't have to "dismantle" any government, just let them be, don't participate and go around them. I know that this is Corporate Blasphemy, but I'm not afraid anymore... we don't need a government, because we are our own Government. We make the rules, we decide. And this doesn't necessarily happen overnight, but it can if you want it to?
Anarchy can work for the benefit of everyone when everyone takes responsibility for themselves in co-operation with others.
I organize all the time with people and there is no hierarchy, no leader, no inequality and usually the thing we set out to do gets done... where is government in that? In terms of preventing governments of forming, we don't have to worry about them forming because the one's who live free, recognize that they will eventually fail. If we let governments run their course we don't have to participate and eventually we will laugh, together, at how absurd they really are.
And last, but not least, "how does an anarchic world stay anarchic?" Well, anarchy is self government, flow, creativity, imagination, love, and I'm pretty sure that all of those are infinite. We really don't need to focus too much on how to keep an anarchic world anarchic, when we keep our focus on living free.

Personally I consider myself
— Sep 08, 2009
Personally I consider myself to be evolving, to be evolved seems to imply I am done evolving and plateau has been reached. Perhaps if I wasn't so uncertain of existence or cynical, evolving might come a bit easier.
Regardless, what I meant by... "unless we evolve in to beings of higher consciousness and dimensionality" was that unless we (as a society) finally obtain that level of compassion, love, collective understanding and/or ascend into a dimensional state of existence that makes all prior forms of organization irrelevant (like beings of light) then it would seem people (as we currently exist) will need some form of organization. At the same time I think anarchy would require people to be filled with love and have the collective good in their thoughts and actions. A higher collective conscious than what we as society currently have will be necessary for anarchy to work.
As I read your response I feel I better understand your position. Thank you for entertaining my comment.

I see what your saying, I agree, to a large degree a good part of the population is going to have to find the compassion, understanding, love and it seems that there would be organizations. I also agree that a higher collective conscious would be needed, it sure seems that way. It seems that way more people would have to wake up to their liberation for the world to be anarchistic but we can start to form small pockets until that point, which I think is happening already. Thanks again for commenting, it's awesome to hear what people are thinking.

I think Anarchy is a form of Libertarian extremism
— Nov 10, 2009
Ian Street
I personally don't know of any self-proclaimed Anarchists but there's enough evidence out there to support a connection between them and Libertarians. And I've certainly met enough Libertarians to justify my theory. However the subtle difference I find between the two is the philosophy. Libertarians see limited government as an opportunity to develop both personal liberty and responsibility within each individual. There are certain aspirational guidelines they abide by in order to achieve these goals as a governing body. Anarchists, however, don't necessarily follow any particular set of standards. Their focus seems to be on the deconstruction of these sociopolitical foundations, leaving room for chaos to settle in. In other words, I think Anarchists wish to 'breakdown' as oppose to 'build up'. Libertarians open more doors to this way of thinking, indirectly suggesting a course of action that could redefine what it means to pursue liberty and justice for all. I believe what Dustin is suggesting sounds more like Buddhist Libertarianism. What do you guys think?

I think trying to label labels with other labels doesn't really help anyone, it just creates more labels. But honestly I like Buddhist Libertarianism, that shit makes me laugh, in a good way. I've been accused of being a Buddhist lately... I think Religion is slavery and even the Buddha wasn't Buddhist, and Yeshua (Jesus) wasn't Christian. It's just archetypal energy expressing itself. Free from the shackles of Civilization's shiny boxes.
Viva La Buddhist Libertarianism! I love it!
