Anarchists are not Merely Philosophers, They are Social Therapists and Healers

Anarchists are not merely philosophers or political activists. Anarchists are social healers. They are the modern shamans, the medicine folk of this age.

When anarchists vie for State abolition, social reconstruction, and deconstruction of the throne, they are saying "I know how to help repair this broken culture; I know how to sing life into every person's soul."

Anarchists are offering a cure for the pandemic of authoritarian violence, which in turn will help alleviate other systemic problems.

Psychiatric "illnesses," mass school shootings, rampant suicide, alienation, disconnectedness, emotional repression, poor relationships, and unbridled hatred are symptoms of authoritarian social structures.

Caged animals behave in ways that mirror their station in life; it is no wonder most humans exhibit erratic behavior, self-destruction, mental injury, and moral corruption.

It is this servitude society that causes it; and contrary to popular belief, most human behavior is not a nonnegotiable piece of human nature. It is the consequence of the control freak and totalitarian structures that society has erected.

The evidence exists in how the brain develops and integrates—or in this case—fails to integrate under the barbaric domicile of Statism, at home and abroad.

Time to unmake the system, allow anarchists to work their magic, and build freer cultures without kings and impossible expectations. The end product may not be perfect, but it will allow for greater neural integration in society's individuals. And this would likely translate as love.

I created this video to express this idea and relate to you in direct emotional manner:


My name is Sterlin. Follow me @ Psychologic-Anarchist. I also run the Psychologic-Anarchist Facebook page and produce many YouTube videos. My interests lie in the intersection of counseling psychology and anarchism. I write about the depredations of psychiatry, and also the new philosophy of compassionate anarchism. We have a large community devoted to discussing psychology and relational voluntaryism.

I agree anarchism is a very beautiful thing once you do your research into it and I could actually see a compassionate anarchist movement catching fire to start healing the worlds problems!

Absolutely. I see anarchism not as strictly a proposition regarding right or wrong, but as a manifestation of the way we handle our relationships. Government is simply a group of people who harbor maladaptive and violent relationship characteristics.

nice post @sterlinluxan

Thank you very much. I hope to continue producing quality content for anarchists, or people who are thinking about rejecting the State.

i think you are great the way you uphold love as the basis for anarchy

Awesome, Elissa. Thanks! And thanks for signing up to the platform and following my material here!

I totally agree! Also great shirt, Underwood for pres haha!

Absolutely. You can't get a better shirt in terms of irony!

Irony's a powerful​ tool if you know when to use it.,

The 3 most misunderstood words in language: Love, Freedom & Anarchy. Unfortunately society isn't yet ready to believe we can exist without Political overlords

This is true. However, we can certainly keep pushing society in the direction we want to move. Thanks for commenting, friend.

I agree with you but, most of us maybe we are not that open mind to understand the way you understand, that anarchists are social healers.

This is true. It will take time to promote this idea and get everyone on the same page. In my mind, this train of thought is a revolution in anarchist thinking.
