I admit that I seem a bit extreme, mentioning concentration camps and the idea that I might be picked up and sent there eventually. At this time of writing this, there is enough smoke around to believe that a fire is ongoing. By the time you read this, there may very well be a civil war in America and/or certainly a Third World War. If not, great, somehow we will have taken control and averted it.

It seems unlikely now that any of us can do anything to stop any of it. I would have said that making you all aware of it might have made a difference, but at the last count, you are all very much aware of it, and yet, you are powerless to do anything about it. The laws have been changed, you see. And writings like this one will never reach the mass media, you can be sure of that, and yet, it is not the least extreme. 

The fact that you are witnessing your leaders suddenly openly declaring a Third World War and lightning the seed of civil war as the only mean to stop it, is very significant. It shows that with the actual structure of our governments, these hierarchies, supposedly democratic, the leaders are still capable of working towards their own interests, destroy an economy and go on to achieve genocides. 

We call that a dictatorship with a tyrant on top of it. Again, this sounds excessive, I am however not worried. History might very well say the same thing about our actual leaders one day. It is very likely, or else, someone will have tampered with our history books, as usual. 

The democracy we have right now does not work. A man is still able to control the elections, make all the decisions, change all the laws superseding even the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Human Rights Charter, make torture legal, ignoring the United Nations, and go on to wreck havoc in the world and bring about a global war. So, everything has failed once again, and I wonder if we are not ready for a more radical change in our structures and the ways we govern and organise ourselves.

Where have we gone wrong? What else could we do to change this? Do anarchists, the intellectual ones, have the answer? They have provided many alternatives to the kinds of established government structures and even commercial company structures we have, where there is no more obvious leader anywhere capable of taking over the world and leash out his evil plan.

There could be groups or collectives being formed on a short, medium or long term basis discussing democratically all the decisions to be made, and collectively deciding on who will do what depending on the needs and skills. And if there is to be a leader, it will be a natural one who can be constantly questioned and replaced as soon as it seems that he or she is no longer acting in the interests of the whole group or collective, as anyone else and everyone else could take over just like that. 

In an anarchist organisation, for example, there would not be a board of directors or an executive board. No leader, just a bunch of people on the same level voluntary meeting, discussing and making decisions as a whole for the organisation or the collective. When someone would ask who’s in charge, the answer would be everyone, free from any authority and coercive social relations, no corporate structure with an elite at the top making all the wrong decisions.

I do not intend here to tell you what anarchist ideas are all about, I admit that I am quite ignorant of such things and I have read little on the subject. I have read enough though to know that it is filled with great ideas, and that it answers a lot of why I have been living an existential crisis from the day I was born. Under such a structure, I might have been happier. I invite you to read more upon the subject. 

I am not sure how realistically all of this could be implemented in real life. There are many people incapable of functioning without clear leadership telling them exactly what to do. They are quite happy to go on living without ever making one decision. And this is fine, naturally, even in some anarchist system or structure, they will be able to find that, if necessary. There will still be natural temporary leaders.  

But although it may seem unrealistic that such a structure could become the norm, a lot of these elements could be incorporated in the actual systems and structures in order to become smoother and more acceptable to all, and certainly prevent other leaders from taking over the place and serving their own interests above all the rest of us.

Solutions will need to be found, and anarchist books seem to be full of great ideas in order for us to gain more freedom and live happier lives, without it becoming chaos, as this is not at the root of most political anarchist book, quite the contrary.

So it is all worth reading, considering and seeing what could possibly be incorporated, in default to be able to change the whole system overnight. Until at least the actual leaders destroy it all and that, after another bloody war and a civil war, we are left with everything else to rebuilt, aware of the mistakes of the past structures and systems.

All anarchists will be dead by then, and probably once again, all free thinkers, all outspoken people against the governments, all gay people and all immigrants. I have five good reasons to be eradicated. I will not survive, that is obvious, I will be the first one to go, and to be honest, I don’t really care that much. So I might as well not be afraid to speak my mind and be ready to suffer the consequences.

I will never commit suicide, despite all that I have said on the topic. It is however the best way to get rid of me, pretend I committed suicide, and give my books as a proof that it was likely to happen. Well, now you know better. Sounds crazy to be talking like this, but I can feel something huge is about to happen, and it might happen faster than anyone could have predicted.

If it all comes as a surprise to you, I guess you should have paid more attention to other media outlets, independent ones, and get the real news instead of the fake ones. If so far you have not done so, go back to sleep, it is already too late to prevent it. Well, it is not, but it might as well be, because not enough of you will wake up fast enough in time to prevent it.
