- Political Statement
- Anarchism poses the question not simply of a struggle between classes based upon economic exploitation. Anarchism is really posing a much broader historical question; that even goes beyond our industrial civilization, not just classes – but hierarchy.
Hierarchy as it exists in the family; Hierarchy as it exists in the school; Hierarchy as it exists in sexual relationships; Hierarchy as it exists between ethnic groups.
Not only class divisions based upon economic exploitation, and it is concerned not only with economic exploitation – it is concerned with domination.
Domination that might not even have any economic meaning at all. The domination of women by men, in which women are not economically exploited. The domination of ordinary people by bureaucrats, in which you may even have welfare, a so-called socialist type of state. Domination as it exists today in china, even when you’re supposed to have a classless society.
So these are the things that I noted in anarchism, and increasingly I came to the conclusion that if we are to avoid the mistakes that were made over 100 years of proletarian socialism; if we are to really achieve a liberatory movement, not simply in terms of economic questions, but in terms of every aspect of life; we would have to turn to anarchism, because it alone posed the problem, not merely of class domination, but hierarchical domination. And it alone posed the question not simply of economic exploitation, but exploitation in every sphere of life.
