What Is Anarcho-Tyranny and Are We Living in It?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Question<\/strong>: How does one best explain the brutal crackdown on COVID-19 protesters worldwide for the sake of Public Health\u2122 while, at the same time, Black Lives Matter was permitted to run hog-wild on America\u2019s streets?<\/p>\n

How are\u00a0elected Democrat leaders allowed to literally incite race riots<\/a>\u00a0while those same leaders pearl-clutch about January 6 in never-ending televised witch trials?<\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong>: Anarcho-tyranny<\/p>\n

The term anarcho-tyranny, on its face, is an oxymoron, a glaring contradiction. Indeed, it\u2019s the biggest possible contradiction of political system descriptors, as anarchy and tyranny occupy diametrically opposite ends of the government force continuum.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s obvious nonsense, right? Well, if we lived in a politically coherent environment, governed by rule of law, it would be. But in a Kafkaesque world of arbitrary exercise of government power, it becomes much more descriptive.<\/p>\n

Samuel Francis first coined the term \u201canarcho-tyranny\u201d in a 1994 essay titled\u00a0Anarcho-Tyranny, U.S.A.<\/a>, summarized as:<\/p>\n

\u201cA concept where the state is more interested in controlling citizens so that they don\u2019t oppose managerial class, rather than tending to real criminals. Laws are argued to be enforced selectively depending on what is beneficial to the ruling elite.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It essentially describes a situation in which the government has the necessary tools and capabilities to wield oppressive power over its subjects, and does so to further its own interests.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the government actors themselves \u2014 and, importantly, their footsoldiers (like Antifa and BLM in the modern American context) \u2014 act with impunity, immune from legal consequences.<\/p>\n

Exhibit A: the recent hullabaloo over classified documents. When Trump was discovered to have stashed them in his private residence, the full weight of the state fell upon his estate in the dead of night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy [would] anyone be that irresponsible?\u201d an exasperated Biden quipped, his sentiments echoed over and over and over in corporate media.<\/p>\n
