There are two approaches to defining democracy. If it refers to really existing democracies like ancient Athens and modern Britain, then it has always been a form of minority rule. Or its defined literally via etymology as majority rule/power and there has never been a democratic government/state.

I have a few young women in my group of engineering mentees and I tell them all the time don't let a mf (usually a man) that seems really confident fool you and intimidate you. Confidence, especially with men and boys, is often a mask for incompetence and it works.

No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time. Emma Goldman

Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals. Lucy Parsons

Bezos rolling over on the Post endorsement. Zuckerberg visiting Mar a Lago to bend the knee. Musk joining the administration. The tech folks and much of our media are obeying in advance and Trump, the luckiest man alive!, has never faced so little media and social media scrutiny. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Is America a democracy? A 2014 study by Gilens and Page found that "economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while mass based interest groups and average citizens have little or no independent influence".

When historical anarchists like Kropotkin critiqued prisons they didn't rely on just abstract arguments or research. They also drew upon their own experiences of being imprisoned for engaging in radical activity. Their opposition to prisons was grounded in what they are actually like.

The state is not something which can be destroyed by a revolution, but is a condition, a certain relationship between human beings, a mode of human behaviour; we destroy it by contracting other relationships, by behaving differently. Colin Ward

Anarchists have a 'bad name' in the media, not because they can point to one indiscriminate massacre by anarchists--there have been none--but because the one thing holders of power fear is that they personally should be held responsible for their own actions Stuart Christie

The state is a social relationship; a certain way of people relating to one another. It can be destroyed by creating new social relationships; ie, by people relating to one another differently. Gustav Landauer

Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners. Edward Abbey

Immigration restrictions are one of the most blatantly immoral, unjust, and economically & socially destructive things the state does. The fact that the electorate seems to want this type of blatantly destructive injustice is a good reason to seek non-electoral strategies.
