Cop Gets Fired, Then Writes a Book on Why Everyone Should Be an Anarchist. Shepard & Keith Knight

by | Mar 28, 2022

As I look around at how you and I live in the real world, I see that the most productive examples of organization are already anarchistic in nature. Consider, for example, your favorite grocery store. Everyone involved in the hugely complex operation of growing, processing, transporting, displaying and selling food participates voluntarily.

 

Customers choose where to shop and what to buy, and all the other people involved— food producers, truck-drivers, stock boys, checkout clerks, administrators, etc.—do things in exchange for getting paid.

 

This purely voluntary arrangement allows for an amazingly complex degree of organization and cooperation without anyone being forced to participate. In many parts of life, we find ways to associate with others without a third-party, centralized group telling us what and how to do things. This is literally anarchy in action. It occured to me that this is a good, pure and nice way for me to not just live my life, but to thrive.
