From Loveland Products: "Anarchy (tm) provides effective control on all insect growth stages".

Crass were the true anarchists. They preached it and lived it.

Anarchy is too unstable

It quickly devolves into small groups of people sticking together for protection. Then some groups band together. Before you know it, you have 'not anarchy'.
Historic examples?

I'd be interested in knowing about the specific historic instances of anarchist community formation and dissolution such as you describe.
If we are to judge from the Franco era destruction of Casas Viejas, Anarchy can work quite well and result in stable egalitarian communities in certain situations/conditions - at least until fascists arrive with tanks and mortars and machine guns and murder everyone.
Really?

"If we are to judge from the Franco era destruction of Casas Viejas, Anarchy can work quite well and result in stable egalitarian communities in certain situations/conditions - at least until fascists arrive with tanks and mortars and machine guns and murder everyone."
Well, I see someone knows everything from some college course...problem is your example just proves my point, a point that I do not claim to have invented.
Casas Viejas was an atrocity, no doubt there, but it didn't signal the growth of 'stable egalitarian communities in certain situations/conditions'. The formation of several radical trade unions proves my point about 'banding together'.
Look, whatever happened there, it's not a perfect example of anarchy. That whole clusterF of a war was between some mutinous army units and the elected leftie government. Fascists (Italy and Germany) backed the rebels (army) with weapons and USSR backed the government and loyalist army units.
A more modern example? Lone wolf motorcycle rider. Some risk. He bands together with a few others, less risk.
It's all about security.
Your example just proves my statement. I'll take a good stable Republic any time.
Thanks for playing. Now go outside, dear and get some fresh air before you say something silly about the 'alt-right'.

Any cameras? I will keep an open mind but given the location and penmanship, seems like another fake hate crime. Add it to the long list.

The writing looks somewhat similar for each of the scratch outs. And quite neatly done as well, as far as this type of thing goes. Maybe it's performance art, to which I say "not art!".

Maybe they should look at Salem State...

Is "anarchy is for black people" a positive or negative statement? Is it racist or is the one who crossed it out and wrote "anarchy is for everyone" racist? The whole thing makes no sense which I guess is the entire point of it. Well played (I guess). Gotta love that JP.
