Anarchism
2025
For me anarchism is a realisation, a hope, that we do not have to obey the logic of survival. The logic of necessity, of the survival of the fittest.

It is a hope that we do not need the protective mechanisms of our minds, of our countries, of our traditions.

Denial of these mechanisms easily leads to detachment from reality. But hope that they are not absolute is inspiring.

Anarchism is a realisation of freedom. Instead of waiting for a permission, an order, a sanction, a rule, we can “behave as if we are already free”[1].
