Description
Looking for anarchy stamps here on deviantArt, all I could find were lame "teenage rebellion" nonsense and none of the serious political ideology stuff. So I made my own.[link]

Here is the way I see everything.
Could I be considered an anti-constitutionalist because I don’t really give a shit about the U.S. constitution one bit? Go ahead and call me blasphemous, but the thing has had zero influence in my life as a human being. With it hanging over my head, I feel that my decisions are not because I individually say so. I don't even care about free speech, none of these things have any influence in my life at all, like I said. If someone is going to try and prevent me from living the way I want to live as a human being, I'll fight back.
I want everything I do in my life to be because I said so, not because something or someone else says I can. That only shows me that my life is not under my own private control within my own rules, but within someone else’s. I want to live and be free by my own standards and not have to conflict with someone else’s within the realm of civics and politics. This “freedom” of this and freedom of that that I’ve been told about every single day since school that so many exploit for their agendas is all fake to me.
Is that really wrong?
I don't even believe in things like political correctness or rights in general.
Rights are created as arbitrary social constructs for the purpose of controlling one another. If you want rights that badly, look within yourself. If you want true freedom, it's solely what you want for yourself individually and nothing more. If you have to rely on rights as social constructs that people can give and take at any moment in time instead of what is of your personal desires, you are not a man.
Rights were made to mean everything in one opportune moment and nothing in the next, like toys. People invoke and play with rights like they're toys, waving them about and then later getting bored and tossing them aside. They have been called up over and over and over again until they eventually lose their purposes like semantic satiation.
There is no right to this or that and there is certainly no right to free speech or a weapon or anything else listed in the so-called "Bill of Rights." If different countries can have a different number of rights listed in their constitutions, then what is the point of having them around in the first place? The answer is power, power for the government and other oppressive forces like the majority to control what other people can and cannot do.

Nice work. I laugh pretty hard sometime when I attend anything anarchist related. I'm identify with the Anarcho-Syndicalism school of though, but I see so many kids and hipsters who are into "anarchy" as a hobby. The don't know who goldman, proudhon, tolstoy, or bakunin are and the haven't even the foggiest idea of the history and battles fought by many proud anarchist.
Nice stamp. Thanks for this upload.

Thanks for your comment.
Yeah, the problem with anarchism is that it's too easily hijacked, either by zealots or hipster rebels without a cause. It's an interesting concept with a rich history and deserves legitimate recognition and study.

Agreed. But than again, history is always written by the winners. Damn you Sedition Act of 1917!
