    If you think that history is divided into discrete events, which you seem to do, you will never be able to parse what was going on.

    It isn’t surprising, since you openly claim to be a conservative, but the problem with most anarchists is that they are conservatives at heart and want to divide history into discrete moments in which a single great figure managed to change things.

    From here is what I have heard from the mouths of multiple “anarchists” in 49/50 states, IRL. These are the people you are aligned with. : You are actively opposed to democracy, which means that you are actively opposed to the US Constitution. You don’t believe in corporations, which I wouldn’t have an issue with, but you are also opposed to nationalized co-ops. You want to keep money, but you want to somehow get rid of capitalism? None of this shit works in the real world, which just underscores your complete lack of ability to take a look at multiple variables at once. In case you didn’t know, Jackson policies created Keynsean economic theory, and the lack of the gold standard. Do try to keep up.

    Comparing the two situations is perfectly logical once you realize that one literally created the other in the case of the US.
