THE AI'S MAIN POLICY FOR 2008:

TOWARDS REAL DEMOCRACY AND MORE OF IT 2008 WORLD WIDE

ANARCHY AND ANARCHISM BRIEFLY DEFINED

Anarchy and anarchism mean "system and management without ruler(s), i.e. co-operation without repression, tyranny and slavery". Anarchy and anarchism are coordination on equal footing, without superiors and subordinates, i.e. horizontal organization and co-operation without coercion. This means practically or ideally, i.e. ordinary vs perfect horizontal organization respectively. Thus, anarchy and anarchism mean real democracy, economical and political/administrative, in private and public sector.

Briefly defined State in a broad societal meaning is systems with significantly large rank and/or income differences and inefficient, i.e. significantly vertically organized. Anarchies are systems with significantly small rank and income differences, plus efficiency, i.e. significantly horizontally organized.

Things we would like to see in 2008, etc.

1. The technological development in combined genetics, nano, IT and other very dangerous fields of research that may contribute to Orwellian "1984" hell societies and worse, must now be stopped at once. Especially advanced genetical research should be stopped world wide, because, a) the more research on this, a) the greater risk for a terrorist group or state to develope, say, an ebola type virus, spreading like a flue, the terrorists having the only vaccine for themselves, and b) the greater risk for development of authoritarian totalitarian terror States, much worse than Orwell's  "1984".  

2. The media should report more matter of fact, proportional to realities. Say if a newspaper reports about a societal problem, in a country with a Gross Domestic Product, i.e. gross real income GDP of 2000 billion US $ = 2000 000 000 000 $, and a societal problem, say theft in shops, is costing 200 million US $  = 200 000 000 $, it should also be mentioned that these  200 000 000 $ are only 200 000 000/2000 000 000 000  = 2 /20000 =0,0001 = 0,01 % = 0,1 per thousand of Gross Domestic Product, i.e. the social gross real income GDP. Not reporting matter of fact and proportional to realities create a.o.t. uncertainty among the people, exaggerating societal problems.  

3. In this time of seemingly much uncertainty, people get easily stressed, and thus more suggestible, and may then easily be fooled by "newage" prophets, so called healers, etc. promising miracles, without any sound, scientifical proof that it will work. Especially persons doing so called miracles and seemingly "healing" people, and collecting money for it, are suspect. No really sound evidence of miracles and healing by "healers" exist. Seemingly miracles and real healing always have a scientifical, logical explanation. A more scientifical critical approach should be used by the newsmedia. Always contact proffesional skeptics with a scientifical approach and, say, illusionists/magicians that are experts on "Uri Gellerian" and "healers" "miracle" type swindle.   

4. Also populist/fascist politicians may benefit from the uncertainty, because people then falsely may believe a "strong man" is needed. However history shows this will not work either.  Say, promising the same million public money spending to group A as well as group B, a typical populist political trick, will not work in practice, and create trouble that may easily end up in a fascist dictatorship. 

5. The best Christmas gift 2007 to the people of the world, and especially to the lucky, lucky Norwegian people, is the start of the 14th year of ANARCHY in this amazing country far North, with the post office of Father Christmas himself  located in Drøbak. The ANARCHIST societal system in Norway, although with only about 54% degree of anarchy for the time being, brings hope as a lighthouse to repressed people of the world of today about a future with significant economical and political/administrative freedom, equality and solidarity, etc.  

6. The best political road ahead is probably in general towards real democracy, i.e. anarchy, and more of it. Say, in Norway the degree of real democracy has increased since the revolutionary change in 1994. After the velvet revolutionary change in 1994-95, that started with the No to EU-referendum 28.11.1994 which was followed a) by the end of the marxist social-democratical matriarchy and b) establishment of social-individualistical ANARCHY in Norway, - the degree of anarchy in the Norwegian society was about 53% and it is now about 54%. That is the influence from the people seen all in all on the production and distribution system is now about 54%, and the influence from the tendencies towards authority are ca 100% - ca 54% = ca 46%. 28.11.2004 marked the occasion of ten years since the beginning of the anarchist velvet revolutionary change in Norway.

I. The anarchist velvet revolution in Norway,

II. the ten years with the social-individualistical anarchist economical-political system, and

III. the possible future of the Norwegian anarchist system,

were the main points on the agenda at the International Anarchist Congress, i.e. the 8th Anarchist Biennial, arranged by the Anarchist International via the NAC, the Northern sections of AI/IFA & FICEDL 27-28.11.2004, coordinated by the Nordic IFA-secretariate in Oslo, on Internet. The 9th Anarchist Biennial arranged in the same way took place 25-26.11.2006. The main points on the agenda were 1. Anarchy vs ochlarchy (mob rule broadly defined) and 2. Anarchists vs ochlarchists. The main resolution from the congress is found at http://www.anarchy.no/ija136.html . In this struggle the removal of Gerd-Liv Valla, the powerful and ochlarchical leader of the Norwegian National Confederation of the Workers, Landsorganisasjonen (LO) - in 2007 - must be mentioned. The fight against ochlarchists will continue in 2008.

The main road towards more real democracy, i.e. anarchy, goes via 1. harder fight against the authoritarian tendencies in the social-individualist anarchies Norway, Switzerland and Iceland, 2. development of social-individualist anarchism in the other 25 most libertarian countries in the world (see table below), and 3. struggle against the more authoritarian regimes world wide.

We would like to see a development towards real democracy, and more of it - world wide in 2008 and in the following years.

Anarchy = here social-individualist anarchism; Soc. dem. = social democrat marxism; Populist = here moderate parliamentarian democratic fascism; Cons. lib. = Conservative liberalism.

Summary: The technological development in combined genetics, nano, IT and other very dangerous fields of research that may contribute to Orwellian "1984" hell societies and worse, must now be stopped at once. Furthermore anarchy vs ochlarchy (mob rule) and anarchists vs ochlarchists were the main points on the agenda in 2006 and 2007 and the fight against ochlarchists will continue in 2008. The main road towards more anarchy goes via 1. harder fight against the authoritarian tendencies in the social-individualist anarchies Norway, Switzerland and Iceland, 2. development of social-individualist anarchism in the other 25 most libertarian countries in the world, and 3. struggle against the more authoritarian regimes world wide.

Decentralization and autonomy...

The AIIS follows the news world wide. The IAT is on the alert, IIFOR is watching the political economy and oil price, etc. However the 'international anarchy' must of course work decentralized and autonomous to be efficient. Search on www.anarchy.no for possible solutions to the world's problems of today in general... "We'll be watching you..." Good luck with all direct actions in 2008!
