The AIYH Facebook Tagging Game

Facebook Tagging Game
I made a little tag game for Facebook. Save this image and upload it to your Facebook account, then match up characters with your friends and tag them. Have fun! Maybe you’ll really piss someone off with your characterization of them.
UPDATE 2009/03/15: The Anarchy Boogeyman has been added to the tagging game image. I can’t believe I left him out! He’s actually there in two places now.
Well, it just made me sick, to promote facebook and even promoting playing games on it on a site promoting anarchy. But well, you even have a store selling ‘anarchy’. As Dead Kennedys sung – Anarchy for sale!
By the way and off-topic; there’s a great book exploring what an anarchist society would be like – The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin.
If you think the dispossed is about anarchism you have misread. It is about socialism. The society in the dispossessed has a state, coercion and prison and all. Whether the state calls itself a state is no test of statehood. Freedom is the test.
Eli: thats why ive still called myself a libertarian. From what I read about early anarchy, it is similar to socialism, but with people as the government…. and I do not understand the term anarcho-capitalism… it seems like an oxymoron… anarchy not believing in private property and capitalism which does.
Anarchy means no archons, i.e. no ruling class. It has nothing to do with property rights which is a separate issue. There are people who use the label of “anarchist” who do not believe in private property but there are plenty more, like myself, who believe property rights must be respected by anyone who consistently opposes slavery. To steal from someone is to retroactively enslave that person. So regardless of how many people choose to oppose property rights and also call themselves “anarchist”, it strikes me as particularly irrational to equate those two positions. I think it’s a result of state capitalism which involves corporatism and mercantilism. Capitalism is corrupted by the state and so many anarchists mistakenly associate capitalism with statism. I’m reluctant to describe myself as a capitalist and instead tend to describe myself as a proponent of a free market.
