God Save the Queen?

[RedCommieBear]

I have a question specifically aimed at British anarchists, but others not be discouraged from adding their own opinions.

Let's say that an anarchist revolution came to Great Britain. What will be done with the Queen? Obviously, she will be removed from her position along with all other government officials. However, my real question is this: Is voluntary, non-coercive authority tolerated in an anarchist society?

I am not an anarchist. But I suspect the Royal Family would have to leave the country following abolition. They would probably do so voluntarilly anyway, most deposed monarchs do rapidly go looking for more hospitable climes.

"Voluntary, non-coercive authority" is contradictory.

So yeah, if the queen wants to go around shouting how she wants people to listen to her she can, but I doubt she will get any followers.

I can&#39;t read this without being reminded of the Sex Pistols little display on the jubilee :rolleyes: most amusing. Ha&#33; <_<

If a god were to exist and he/she wanted to save the queen then they are welcome to each other. I personally don&#39;t think the royal family should be allowed to escape. They should be made to work in the shittiest jobs like the workers who pay their taxes to fund the parasitical, inbred fucks.

You&#39;re being too easy on them. I say kill the parasites.

For what purpose? If they resist the change and force that then that&#39;s one thing, but if they are willing to adjust to the new antiauthoritarian climate then there&#39;s no reason to kill them. I doubt that you&#39;d have rejected the crown if you were born into it.

What we want, therefore, is the complete destruction of the domination and exploitation of man by man; we want men united as brothers by a concious and desired solidarity, all co-operating voluntarily for the well-being of all; we want society to be constituted for the purpose of supplying everybody with the means for achieving the maximum well-being, and maximum possible moral and spiritual development; we want bread, freedom, love, and science-for everybody
