Odonianism is anarchism. not the bomb-in-the-pocket stuff, which is terrorism, whatever name it tries to dignify itself with, not the social-darwinist economic 'libertarianism' of the far right; but anarchism, as prefigured in early taoist thought, and expounded by shelley and kropotkin, goldman and goodman. anarchism's principal target is the authoritarian state (capitalist or socialist); its principle moral-practical theme is cooperation (solidarity, mutual aid). it is the most idealistic, and to me the most interesting, of all political theories.

If libertarianism were easy to explain, and it weren't easy to exaggerate the effects of libertarianism, i think it would have been done already. many many very intelligent people have applied themselves to crafting an agenda that people could grab ahold of. but the problem of course is that libertarianism isn't political. it is kind of anti-political. it wants to take a lot of things out of the political arena.

Goldman sachs was fundamentally responsible for the crash of 2008, but by that time its former chairman and chief executive officer, henry 'hank' paulson, had been installed as us treasury secretary to begin the bank bail out policy, with enormous benefit to goldman sachs, in the closing weeks of the bush administration. goldman sachs was also instrumental in the collapse of the economy in greece that started the 'euro panic' that later engulfed ireland.

If i rule out violent anarchism, there remains pacifist, anti-nationalist, anti-capitalist, moral, and anti-democratic anarchism (i.e., that which is hostile to the falsified democracy of bourgeois states). there remains the anarchism which acts by means of persuasion, by the creation of small groups and networks, denouncing falsehood and oppression, aiming at a true overturning of authorities of all kinds as people at the bottom speak and organize themselves.

The justice department needs to investigate how goldman sachs was able to steer things in such a manner through their former employees in the bush administration, so that in the end goldman's competitors have disappeared and goldman is left standing.

In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. but in the past, non-cooperation has been deliberately expressed in violence to the evildoer. i am endeavoring to show my countrymen that violent non-cooperation only multiplies evil and that evil can only be sustained by violence. withdrawal of support of evil requires complete abstention from violence. non-violence implies voluntary submission to the penalty for non-cooperation with evil.

American coffee can be a pale solution served at a temperature of 100 degrees centigrade in plastic thermos cups, usually obligatory in railroad stations for purposes of genocide, whereas coffee made with an american percolator, such as you find in private houses or in humble luncheonettes, served with eggs and bacon, is delicious, fragrant, goes down like pure spring water, and afterwards causes severe palpitations, because one cup contains more caffeine than four espressos.

A fellow once came to me to ask for an appointment as a minister abroad. finding he could not get that, he came down to some more modest position. finally, he asked to be made a tide-waiter. when he saw he could not get that, he asked me for an old pair of trousers. it is sometimes well to be humble.
