Anarchist – I think you’re missing the author’s point. He/she’s saying it’s *ironic* that youth are seeing Bush, Clinton, etc., as anarchic, because in fact they are just the opposite. They are for powerful government, and the definition of anarchy is no government. (Incidentally, many so-called left anarchists aren’t really anarchists, because they envision anarchy as being without free markets — or at least without people being able to become wealthy, which amounts to the same thing. The only way you can effectively stop free markets from occurring is by imposing some kind of government). Ron Paul can win. In fact he is the only candidate in either establishment party with wide appeal across the political spectrum among Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and independents. Among people who are paying attention to the 2008 election, he is doing disproportionately well. He has won more Internet polls, and more straw polls where actual candidates show up, than any other top-tier candidate of either establishment party. If you haven’t been following this, you can visit http://www.RonPaul2008.com and click on the straw poll link to see what I’m talking about.

Oh please. You don’t know what anarchism is. Giuliani runs a mercenary operation. Anarchists are anti-authority, and most are pacifists. Even so-called anarcho-capitalists (who leftist anarchists disown) wouldn’t say Bush, Clinton, or Giuliani are “anarchists.” They’re typical politicians who seek to enlarge their own power, and try to dodge the laws that are supposed to restrict their power. Bush, is particularly vile, and is a crony capitalist. He’s offensive that most libertarian capitalists don’t like him. Giuliani is more of the same. BTW – Ron Paul can’t win. Most people like social welfare.
