Representative and Parliamentary democracy are frauds which separate the government from the people, deny us control over our own lives and encourage apathy amongst the citizenry. Real democracy places power in the hands of the people by making all decisions at the lowest possible level by voting in workplace and community councils. Anarchists seek the destruction of the State. The State, a government which holds itself to be separate from and above the people, is always an oppressor. We will not be free while the State exists.
Anarchists seek an end to private property.
Our needs chain us as much as our enemies. We are not free to do that which we cannot do because others deny us the resources. The capitalists' monopoly of the means of production, their control of society's wealth, enslaves us to them as surely as would a gun held to our heads. The division of the political from the economic is a bourgeois myth. True social equality requires equal access to the means of production.
