If you think those are anarchist ideas, you've missed the main ideas about anarchy and anarcho-capitalism and such.

Random racist ranting is also required. There are some racist assholes currently posting on cpunks, but none have quite the May flavor. Yes, in comparison with May they are basically poseurs. Oh, and in light of the Bob conversation, shouldn't we be describing 'RAH' (a Bob) as 'RAHWEH'? -TD
