Yeah. That's just how crazy this line of thought is.
Actually, this is hardly the first time I see this kind of
'anarchist' discussion.
In a nutshell, people seem completely unable to stop parroting
terrorist bullshit from the government. In the case of Mirimir,
looks like he thinks that Room 101 is full of poisoned food.
So he twists everything in order to get some kind of
'anarchist' system which is the 'anarchist' version of american
food fascism.
There are other people people who think that the 'anarchist'
ideal is for google and goldman sachs to own all the world. And
they think google doesn't own the world yet because evil 'anti
capitalist' governments are taxing google too much.
Othe people say that 'real anarchism' is a christian theocracy
where non-believers are stoned to death. And so on and so
forth...
In a word : crazy.
