Is George W. Bush a Crowned Anarchist?

Destructivism, The Path to Self-Destruction   

It is strange that I wrote a whole book called Destructivism, The Path to Self-Destruction, without first addressing the one subject people are most likely to accuse me of in time, the one of being an anarchist talking about anarchy. It did not cross my mind to write about anarchy, because I never thought I was an anarchist. I realise now that perhaps I was an anarchist in the closet, and maybe it is time I do my coming out and just admit it, as I witness the world we live in going in frightening directions. 

People have accused me of being an anarchist because of the title of my website, The Crowned Anarchist, which ultimately was just the title of a book by Antonin Artaud, the celebrated French author who died in 1948. His book was about a Roman Emperor originally from Syria named Heliogabalus, also called the Crowned Anarchist, because of his subsequent reign in Rome.

It is ironic that today I found many mentions on the Internet that George W. Bush is also sometimes called a Crowned Anarchist, from the old definition of anarchy, and it looks like he is about to bring chaos all over the world, on a scale never seen before. And that, whether or not the next elections in the United States are cancelled and martial law declared, as everything appears in place for just such a possibility. What he has already done is sufficient to leave an indelible mark on this planet and it will take a long time to get out of this mess. 

Being an anarchist, from my frame of reference, is like being gay. You know deep down at heart that you are, that there is nothing you can do against your nature, and that if that nature gets to be known, you will be ostracised by everyone else, rejected, ridiculed and you are going to suffer the rest of your life.

I am nevertheless suffering anyway, from a lack of freedom, a lack of control in the decisions being made that concern me directly, from these hierarchies everywhere present to which I need to bow down to and be submissive.

To the point that I feel I am nothing less than a slave, going through this life making the minimum of decisions, and then will go on without any kind of freedom or control, and do exactly what all sorts of authorities will tell me to do, at every single minute of my existence.

Be it the authority of parents, loved ones, teachers, managers and directors, spiritual leaders, social workers, judges, probation officers, police, political leaders through a myriad of laws and regulations. Add to it CCTVs and cameras everywhere, and constant probing and recording of phone calls, emails and the websites we visit, to insure that we no longer have an impure thought that goes against their will. Anything can and will be used against us at some point in time, while everything we do is being recorded, and the time of reckoning seems to be getting closer every day.

At some point you do feel the need to explode and tell them all to stop, that enough is enough! That we feel the need to re-assert ourselves, to exist, to make a few decisions of our own, to do what we want to do with this life and that a little breathing space would not go amiss in our life. Do we even have the time to think anymore? Are we free collectively to decide what we want to do, are we able to stop our leaders in their grand scheme of conquering the planet at the expense of human kind, our very existence? The obvious answer is no.

Anarchists seem to believe that we can have a real democracy, that it seems that our actual government structures and corporate structures are all against the very idea of democracy and giving the citizens the chance to rule themselves and make their own decisions. 

If we had a real democracy, we would not have killed one million Iraqis recently, and we would not be planning attacking Iran and Syria for God only knows what reasons exactly. In short, if citizens truly had the power to govern themselves, the world would be a different place today.

Or did you really want all these things to happen in your name? And how far are you willing to go for what you believe in? And by the way, can you tell me then what you believe in and why exactly it is worth having another world war? Is it not time to stop it all from happening before it is too late? And I mean right now!

George W. Bush, the Crowned Anarchist, and his friends, need to be impeached now. We cannot wait until January 2009 to finally get rid of them. Another catastrophic false flag event might take place in order to prevent all of this from happening and martial law might be declared, at which point we will have lost any control or power. The risk is too high, considering their track record. We have a chance right now to get rid of them, we won’t have another chance. It is too risky, we cannot take the chance, we have to act now, we have to somehow. I don’t care how, we have to get rid of them, now.

I don’t say these things lightly. I am afraid, and so should you. And this is not even my own country, though Canada, my own country, is now very much just like another American State. We have given the United States our sovereignty to govern us, just like Mexico did. You need to read more about this, as I will not elaborate on these topics here. 

This is what anarchists are fighting for, whether they are extremists or intellectuals who would never dream of picking up a cocktail Molotov or even walk outside in any demonstration. And this is perhaps why I never thought I was an anarchist, because neither of these definitions of anarchy befitted me. I am not extremist, I am a pacifist. I am not an intellectual who will go on to write clever articles about what this kind of anarchist system might look like. On the other hand, I cannot deny that at heart I share all their beliefs and, in my own way, I have been fighting for the same beliefs and freedoms in all of my books.           

That makes me an anarchist, whether I want it or not, and now obviously a target, but I guess I already was, even if I intended to deny everything the day they will come for me to send me in some sort of concentration camp. There are 800 of them in the United States and many more in Canada. They are ready over there for something. If there are any in the UK, where I live, they were able to hide them very well. I suppose deportation from the UK to Canada and the United States is a real possibility, so in the end it does not matter if there are no concentration camps in England.

I feel your pain

Thanks for putting it all out there.  I am very isolated myself for my "radical" thoughts.  I have lost my spouse of over 30 years and my 24 year old son because even they could not accept my reality.  I am alone with my thoughts but I also see the lonliness in most of the people who don't really care to see what is really going on because the reality of it is just too frighening to accept.  I have finally concluded that resistance is not the solution because it only perpetuates the circle of war and violence which has brought us todays world.  I also believe that in this relative existence we live in there will always be two or more worlds  created by  individual  choices.  No matter  how right or reasonable one consciousness seems or how "evil" or wrong the other seems both sides think they are right within their own current understanding.  Oh well as you can see I'm not the best at expressing myself on this more than involved question of "life".  I am what I am and what is is.  Namaste.

Need to Define "Anarchy" - Bush Definitely NOT Anarchist

Roland, I commend you on your concern for the low level of much of society - at what is referred to as "politics". Many young people focus little if any attention on what lies beyond the latest fad, entertainment or sporting event - actually this is true for many (?most?) at all ages.

However,  I think you would have made some of your points better and faster if you had defined very early in your 5 pages (excerpt from an online book) what the word anarchy means - that is from its origins, not what some have distorted the word to describe. As a result I do not really know you mean when you write, "I am finally an anarchist out of the closet." since you go on to write, "Perhaps if there were more anarchists at heart out there who would just come out of the closet and speak their mind, we could still *take control of our countries*..." [Emphasis added] The lack of logical consistency is considerable, but not without understanding in a world where the distortion of word definitions has become common place and governments run the vast majority of the educational process in all countries.

The etymology of the word "anarchy" is Medieval Latin anarchia, from Greek, from anarchos rulerless. And it's first definition in Merriam-Webster Online Unabridged Dictionary: "1 a : absence of government" Definition 1.b that follows gives the casual reader the impression that a society that does not have a government will be without order, chaotic by its very lack of a government - "a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority". ( "anarchy." Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster, 2002. http://unabridged.merriam-webster.com (31 May 2008).) All this definition is *really* saying is that there are no "laws" ("lawless") or regulations established by a government; there is no system of choosing of leaders that have the authority to rule, to physically force others to obey them. This does not mean in anyway that anarchy = chaos, but many writers and politicians would have everyone think that this is inevitable and would say and do whatever would give this impression.

In no way is Bush, Cheney or any of the politicians or government bureaucrats in the US, Canada or anywhere else an anarchist by the true definition of the word. Such individuals and ones seeking to replace them, want to stay or become *rulers*, those that have the power of life (including property retention) and death over others. The fact that virtually all societies now and in the past have been ruled by some individual or group, does not logically imply that such rule is a necessity to maintain order - or that such a goal is "Utopian", ie. unrealistic. Society, just like any other natural system can be self-regulating by means of interactions between its members, if only humans are allowed to develop the methods by which such self-regulation can be effective, rather than the social system constantly being held in an unnatural (and very unoptimal) state of balance by the operations of its rulers and other influencers. This idea of social self-regulation has been touched on by me and husband Paul Wakfer in "Critique of 'Bio-Politics' Article: Argument for Societal Self-Regulation". We addressed some of your wonderings in that article and more in the links from it, but all cannot be definitively answered by us since the realization of the goal society requires much much more than the publication of our ideas. Persuading others to read those ideas, seriously consider them, ask questions, make comments is mostly all that I and Paul and other who agree with us can do at this time - some examples from our own lives may also help. But it is a start and one we work on every day in some manner.
