The liberal would ease the pressure by diverting some of the water; the conservative would shore up the dykes, the totalitarian would construct a stronger dam.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut is anarchy a destructive force? The absence of government may alarm the authoritarian, but is a liberated people really its own worst enemy--or is the true enemy of mankind, as the anarchists claim, the means by which he is governed? Without government the world could manage to end exploitation and war. Anarchy should not be confused with weak, divided or manifold government. As Christie and Meltzer point out, only with the total abolition of government can society develop in freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStuart Christie is an activist for anarchism and the author of \u003ci\u003eGranny Made Me an Anarchist: General Franco, the Angry Brigade and Me\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWe, the Anarchists!: A Study of the Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI) 1927-1937\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eAlbert Meltzer is an activist for anarchism and the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eAnarchism: Arguments For and Against\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.6 x 5.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 07, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770850312480,"sku":"9781604861051","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/67cb1050931a15a0dc8ade238ded43b6.webp?v=1780379479","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/floodgates-of-anarchy-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
