- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- There is a short story behind this small file. It was a meant
- as a reply to a individual who I believed said things about my
- own writing, but in the end it turned out to be me who
- had misunderstood him. I guess he prefers to be anonymous, but
- if he reads this, I would like to apologize again for my hard
- words. However, I felt that it was a waste to throw this text
- away, so I decided to change some names and publish it anyway.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- This is the story about a t-file writer called Ian.
- A sunny day, some weeks ago, Ian received a message from a cold part of
- northern Sweden.
-
- "I like a file you have written"
-
- How nice! We all like positive critic from people around the globe, ey?
- Ian immediately captured the message and printed it out. He ran to the
- nearest shop, bought a golden frame and put the charming message inside it.
- Then he sat for three weeks, just staring at the words. He memorized it
- and wrote it down whenever he got the chance. He wrote it down on walls,
- roads, on the back of his friends and even got himself a painful tattoo
- with this jolly message.
- However, this euphoria did not last. After a while Ian received another
- message from the same person, who he had sacrificed small animals and his
- left finger for the past weeks.
-
-
- "I have changed my mind. I do not like your file.
- I have read some other files you have written.
- They are disgusting!"
-
-
- With tears in his red eyes Ian continued reading this hard judgement of
- his hard work.
-
-
- "... and how DARE you state yourself as a 'anarchist'! You are a
- 'anarchy-fascist' and that's it!"
-
-
- Ian quickly scanned through some of his older productions. Oh gee, what
- did he find? Texts about bombs! About rape! About killing officers of
- the law! About... cats who rule the world? This was really strange. How
- could he possibly had written so much crap?
- He decided to wipe out history. Without remorse, Ian immediately deleted
- all of his older files. He only saved those which he found to be good.
- Ian smiled when I realized that he had exterminated his own dirty past.
- Then he read the angry message again. He thought for a while, then he
- deleted all his other files too. This guy was right. He liked Ian's new
- file for a while, then he changed his mind when he had read some Ians
- older. So why should Ian be a fool? He deleted the rest of his files.
- Yes, some of them were good but that did not matter. He had written other
- files and that was a fact. Ian had to get rid of everything to clean his
- hands.
- Now he was free. He could start all over, with a new handle and a new
- attitude. Ian thought about his future. What should he write about now?
- What do people WANT him to write? Ian used to be a so-called
- 'anarchy-fascist' so what should he become now?
- Yes! He knew at once! A REAL ANARCHIST!
- But what the hell was a real anarchist? Ian opened up his old book about
- Pierre Proudhon. Crap! This was not anarchy! He tried out Bakunin.
- Hmm... no. Then he continued reading the rest of his old books about
- anarchy. All of them said the same: "THIS is anarchy. Everything else
- implicates SHIT! Fuck them, we got the real answer! Trust us!".
- But the problem was tht all of the books said different things about
- what real anarchy was. Ian was completely lost. He considered asking the
- dude who wrote the message about his files. He should know. But Ian
- changed my mind. No, I dare not to show myself to him. "God damn, he
- might say more depressing things to me!"
- So Ian quit writing completely. How could he write things about hackers,
- the government and science fiction when he had not got the slightest idea
- what he really wrote about? This was a tough world with clear rules. Some
- know the rules and some people do not.
- Even if Ian ever found out what REAL anarchy was, it was pointless to
- write anything more. He had burned out, thanks to his old files. Even if
- he knew what this thing called the Truth was it did not matter. People
- would read his files, perhaps enjoy them, but sooner or later they would
- read some of his older files. What would happen then was completely clear.
- They would understand that his old files were disgusting, hence must his
- newer be that too!
- Ian was a loser. He left the writing to those who knew how to do it
- properly. Yesterday, he bought a shot gun and put the last story to an
- end.
-
- The story about Ian is a sad one. No one knows a shit about what real
- anarchy is. Is it pure freedom, a version of marxism, liberalism,
- communism, nihilism or is it to obey the brave new world? Who should we
- trust? Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Stirner, Powell, Tolstoj, Nozick or
- Mondo 2000?
- No one knows, but everybody have an own opinion about the subject.
- If anarchy is to do whatever one feels for, the freedom to do what you
- like to do without any obstacles from other people who 'know better than
- you', why should not everybody be free to write whatever they want? Some
- like it, some do not. Some carry out weird texts in reality and get
- themselves into trouble. Everybody has the right to make own decisions
- about what is wrong and what is right.
- The thing is that when Ian got the angry message from the individual who
- claimed that he first enjoyed a file he had written , but then changed his
- opinion when he had read some of his other files, even made me glad that
- Ian had written them. His argument was a proof of the twisted minds that
- we see all around us. He judged a file from other files. He judged Ian.
- Ian had written something he did not like which lead to that he had to
- dislike everything he wrote. He probably states himself as a 'real'
- 'anarchist'.
- Who knows? Who knows anything about real anarchy? I do not. You do
- not. Ian did not. No one does. But we all believe that we do. It is
- easy to state yourself to be a anarchist. You can bend and change the term
- until it fits your needs.
- And it sounds sooo C0000L...
- In his eyes, Ian was a fascist. He enjoyed Mussolini. He hated black
- people. He wanted the gas chambers back. What more? Let me think... oh
- yes, of course Ian wanted the State to rule supreme. That is what he
- thinks that Ian believed. I mean, why should he call him 'fascist'
- otherwise?
- Left-winged people have called Ian a nazi, right-winged people have
- called him a communist. People in the middle have riddled him with
- accusations of being a terrorist. But most people calls him a crazed
- anarchist who ought to be placed somewhere far away from the 'reality'.
- Now, the 'anarchists' called him a fascist.
- Cool! Ian had a lot to chose from! Maybe he should say that he was a
- democrat instead? Or why not a Republican? Royalist? Servant of the
- mushroom cloud? A former member of the Satan Rules Club?
- The truth is that the message to Ian was written by yet another puzzled
- individual. He know certain words ('anarchy', 'fascism') and he uses them
- in a way that fits him.
- Ian wrote files for his own pleasure and hoped that some people would be
- able to see through them and catch the real messages inside. Some cannot
- do that. Ian had no need to explain his points to those who believe that
- they know everything.
- Who knows?
-
- "Information shall NOT be free", the State says.
-
- "Information wants to be free", the underground says.
-
- "Information shall be free, but not all information. If we do not like
- it, it should be censored. We will not accept information that we find to
- be disgusting!", some so-called 'real anarchists' say.
-
- 'You got it', the State replies.
-
- The tension mounts.
