When working within a corrupt system does not help or change anything, perhaps the answer is Anarchy

Lately I've been thinking about how absurd it is to keep trying to change this decaying stinking system by doing anything within the system. For so long I believed that my vote counted, that any action I took in petition-signing or trying to educate my fellow and sister humans about what's going down on Planet Earth and what we can do to turn it around, would be helpful. The thing is, now I realize that it's not helpful to anybody, including me. Nobody much wants to hear how bad things are when all seems so hopeless. So, we just try harder doing the same things that have already failed and failed. Or we consume more: buy a new monster truck or high-def TV, drink another beer, eat another ding-dong, take another drug, etc.

Just when things felt beyond hopeless or sane, OpEd News posted another great article in a series of intelligent and sane articles and opinions they post.
This is the best article I've read in a long time. It makes Anarchy, a word most of us have been brainwashed to dread, seem not only attractive, but hopeful; a possible sane solution in insane times. It feels comforting to think that maybe Anarchy is a way to sanity and sustainability again. Maybe when you read this, you'll think so, too.

This article comes from a website named "We The People News," out of Texas. (That gives me hope!) The article is entitled "Anonymous Anarchism: the Yang of Globalization," and the author is John Kelley. Please read it! Then ask your friends to read it. It's time to start the conversation, individually and globally, because the current hierarchy is killing us and the planet.

May 2022 update:

Well.... that is not the same website I visited in 2011! How disheartening! Will have to find the article archived someplace,  and re-post a direct link.
