Austin, John Duffy un anarchiste aux municipales ?
My name is John Duffy, I do identify as an anarchist, and I am running for the Austin City Council. Because there are a lot of misconceptions considering what anarchism is, I think it might be smart to point out that being an anarchist does not make someone a proponent of chaos and disorder, but rather of organic, leaderless human organization. Anarchists disavow the concept of hierarchy, and believe that all people are of equal worth, and that all people should have autonomy over their own lives.
How does a man who identifies as an anarchist square with running for city council? It’s a contradiction, admittedly, and one I’m sure to take flack over from people of different ideologies, including other anarchists. The best way to address this criticism is to quote Henry David Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience:”
