Anarchism and "no borders"?

[A_Ciarra]

I've been an anarchist for a while now, but I've never understood well what is meant by NO boarders. Obviously there would be boarders with confederations, workers councils and different community set ups ----so just what is meant by "NO boarders" (in a post revolutionary world)?

Wouldn't porous boarders be a more accurate term? What am I missing here?

First, for godsakes, it's "borders." :P

I think what it means is that there would be no divisive boundaries... for example the US-Mexico border that prohibits people from going where they wish, and controls the flow of people. Borders are essentially walls that delineate property

Yes, No Borders means an end to restrictions on movement. There may be borders between confederations and workers councils but of course these borders would not be like the one's we have today which restrict people to enter a place, Anarchism wouldn't be Anarchism with todays borders put in place.

destructicon got it right. But it is likely that the current borders would still be used to delagate a specific region. People aren't going to say 40 E 25 N, they are going to say the name of the city that lies in that region, and whatever preexisting borders there were. Just de jure, not de facto.

The same borders shouldn't be used, some regions should be made smaller and some bigger.

Meh, it's more of a cultural thing, people in the US when refering to the UK don't think of Wales, England (actually we call all of it England), Scotland, Cornwall, or Northern Ireland.

borders change. look at old european maps.

No borders = no walls or restrictions on movement between one place and another.

Lines drawn on a map shouldn't stop anybody from doing what they want to do.

Very good, so just no restrictions on movement. Thanks all ----but Destructicon, you can suck my big toe for being an ass about my bad spelling. :redstar2000:

I may be an Anarchist, but no one should be liberated from the authority of grammar!

You sure you want to go that way? :crying:

Destructicon, I wish you could liberate me from my dyslexia which screws up my ability to memorize the spelling of words.
:closedeyes:

I don't mean to complain - I really don't, but honestly I DO get tired of "paying the tax" of this disability when others judge it as my ignorance, laziness, bad education or what ever - which is often. :unsure: And you were not overboard or anything, not at all, I'm just tired of this little disability because it does not reflect on my mind, or cares correctly. Just to let you know though, I actually avoid this entire web board a bit because I don't want to deal with the stereotyping much of the time... Anyway, please just recognize that poor spelling can be a disability, and not laziness or refusing to be educated etc. I just wish people would chill the fuck out more and assume less, be a little more relaxed rather than critical. A pipe dream I know, but that's what I'm always thinking on this board.

OK, I said my bit like I felt inclined to do.., but you're cool, no worries.

Peace

Honestly, I don't have a problem with mis-spelling unless it is so bad I can't read a thing at all.

I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to offend you - and you're right people (esp grammar fascists like me) should be more aware/sensitive to the fact that others may have a learning disability.

Sincere apologies :(
