Occupying Anarchism

[Mark Kohut]

Wish I had been smart enough to be led to anarchism when I first read On Liberty at
around the same age....I think/know I internalized something deep enough but not until 
I read into Rawls' Theory of Justice years later did I feel the flutters of Mill's notions.....
 
And I learned somthin' about anarchism in articles and books with that subject....
Overcoming literalism isn't easy...then one can become the little lame balloon man..[Cumming & /AtD]

"an attempt to eliminate the threat
of force from ALL social relationships......."
and a goal worth striving for. 

makes me think of how reading John Stuart Mill's On Liberty in highschool influenced me strongly and got me to think of myself as an anarchist. 

what i retained was the sense that my liberty is wide, until it comes into conflict with yours, or hers, or the world's. and then it gets interesting / complicated. but ideally, interesting  / complicated in a collaborative way. 

and this does seem very TRP-relevant, from what i've read so far.

Very TRP-relevant, yes?
