Some
may argue that a society of Anarchists could never be sustained because it
appears that those within the movement have an ever-shifting concept of moral
law. This couldn’t be farther than the truth Anarchist have a very human view
of morality namely that morals today may not be morals tomorrow and since
humanity is forever growing and learning moral concepts must be able to adapt
to these new understandings. Unlike other forms of society Anarchists are true
students of both history and human nature whereas they have no misgivings of
the constant flux of peoples notions of acceptability.
Having
stated the above there have been some constants within Black Rose circles,
which I will propose as the foundation (or guidelines) of the society that I
believe can best, be applied to all forms of Anarchism.
1. Individuality- people within an
anarchist society are responsible for themselves; they have full rights to
there own person and can express themselves in and manner that they see fit.
Providing that it does not interfere or harm another individual. Actions that
violate the sovereignty of any individual are never accepted.
2.
Logical Reason- Every aspect of Anarchism is based on a study of science,
history, and human nature. Thus when an individual, group, or the society have
to make a decision they do based on the logic of that decision. There are no
voices calling down from the sky, or assumptions based on emotion.
3.
Usefulness or hurtfulness to society- every action is weighed out by how useful
or hurtful it is to society. If it were hurtful then it would not be carried
out. If it is useful them it will be implemented
4.
Treat others and do onto others, as you would like to be treated or have done
to you or your loved ones.
The last one may shock people but the
majority of Anarchists actually do live by the Golden Rule in a very real way.
As I have said before these are the four basic concepts that seem to transcend
the lines within the divisions within the movement.
