Interesting article. Very anarchist in its philosophy. I’m at a point where I’m seriously considering not voting this presidential election because I feel so incredibly disenfranchised by our political process and terribly underrepresented by the candidates. I don’t say this lightly as I made the decision to become a citizen of this country 4 years ago and took a test and paid a fee out of a strong desire to become a part of the democratic process. I too believed in the myth.

What both traditional anarchism and contemporary post-structuralism seek is a society—or better, a set of intersecting societies—in which people are not told who they are, what they want, and how they shall live, but who will be able to determine these things for themselves.
