Notes:
-Occupy Movement's general assembly and decision making processes are partly inspired by anarchist principles) and that leadership should always be held accountable. Most anarchists are also opposed to privatization of basic necessities (at the least) under the control of a corporatocracy. These types of monopoly relations rest upon the infantilization of dependent populations
-We believe democracy doesn't come from a small group of people at the top of society, instead, democratic processes depend on the full involvement of informed/engaged citizens from all sections of a society.
- Is this what it means to be a "free" person in a democracy? Instead anarchists seek "liberty" for individuals and communities through participatory economics and consensus decision making.
"Political Philosophy." Wikipedia
-
Political philosophy is the study of such topics as politics, liberty, justice, property, rights, law, and the enforcement of a legal code by authority: what they are, why
(or even if) they are needed, what, if anything, makes a government
legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should protect and why, what form
it should take and why, what the law is, and what duties citizens owe to a
legitimate government, if any, and when it may be legitimately overthrown, if
ever. In a vernacular
sense, the term "political philosophy" often refers to a general
view, or specific ethic, political belief or attitude, about politics that does
not necessarily belong to the technical discipline of philosophy. It provides insight into the various aspects of
the origin of the state, its institutions & laws.
