Whenever I read Internet posts by wannabe Nietzscheans, neo-Nazis, Ayn Rand fetishists, the two people who voted for George Bush and so on about how the weak are a drain on the strong, free competition is the only way forward, aid to developing countries is immoral, and in general "I'm good and deserve to survive because I have good genes and a high credit rating", I just want to say -

"OK, if you're so fit to survive, let's test it. I bet your kneecaps break as easily as any of those welfare bums'."

It's also funny and nostalgic for someone like me who was a deadly serious teenage anarchist (I devoured Kropotkin, Proudhon, Bookchin, Chomsky etc. before I even made high school) and was always getting pissed off by two-bit punk-rockers who thought anarchy was having an A on your back and a safety pin through your nose, and gobbing a lot.

Now of course I no longer identify as an anarchist. I call myself a "libertarian socialist", which means "wussy wannabe-anarchist liberal".

Speaking of libertarian socialists, I here Chomsky is coming to Turkey again soon. Bet he only comes to Istanbul, though.
