Clearly, Bookchin does not believe in any sort of “bottom up” egalitarianism, or else he would not be so quick to dismiss the individual. Free and empowered individuals make up free and empowered societies, and should absolutely be the basis of liberty. One cannot force a system onto people, and then call those people free, no matter how inclusive the system.

“Democracy is not antithetical to anarchism; nor are majority rule and nonconsensual decisions incommensurable with a libertarian society. “

Any sort of rule…Any sort of nonconsensual decision is antithetical to anarchism. Here, again, Bookchin shows his desire to control others in the name of freedom. He literally attempts to reconcile the very tools of the state with anarchism!

“That no society can exist without institutional structures is transparently clear to anyone who has not been stupefied by Stirner and his kind.”

Again, his blatant statism is laid bare. Is “institutional structures” not simply another name for “rulership”? Of course, given the many societal blueprints that Bookchin created in his lifetime, it is clear that Bookchin saw himself at the helm of, or at least a theoretician of these “institutional structures”. Bookchin is incapable of rejecting these structures, because he views them as instruments to be used in ruling over others.

“Certainly, it is already no longer possible, in my view, to call oneself an anarchist without adding a qualifying adjective to distinguish oneself from lifestyle anarchists.”

And again, Bookchin shows that he is the one attempting to dilute anarchism, by attempting to add qualifiers and appendages to it. If anarchism can be obscured by adjectives, then its true meaning of “no rulers” can be watered down and even changed into something else.

“Mere opposition to the state may well unite fascistic lumpens with Stirnerite lumpens, a phenomenon that is not without its historical precedents. “

Bookchin finishes with a bit of classist flair, using the same terms that Marx used with disdain when talking about the underclasses of people. Bookchin, the “good worker”, must berate and chastise others. In a fit of workerism, Bookchin then plays the card common to leftists, and sinks to claims of fascism, putting to rest the notion that he ever had any real argument to begin with.

This final cry of “fascism!” truly shows Bookchin’s true designs here. He is willing to use the threat of fascism to scare those who might not be convinced by the piece’s end into complying. This final statement perfectly illustrates the authoritarianism masking itself as anarchism that Bookchin exemplifies.

“Follow my ‘organized’ and ‘coherent’ plans, or you are a fascist!” he cries.

OK Bookchin…

There are some queers who have not been influenced by the modern gender system at all because of this, but there are others who have been influenced by the modern gender system since birth, just by the fact they are in a community with the gender of which they identify and they don’t know why. These include many trans people and queer people who have not been affected by the class system at all, but who have been affected by the fact they have been identified and they don’t understand what this means and what it entails. This creates a situation in which people with nonnormative gender identity have been marginalized by society as a whole and have been subjected to the expectations placed upon them through the gender class system. In some cases, the gender system can actually be considered a form of sexual oppression rather than patriarchy as stated above.

This is what happens when people get attached to ideas and concepts that are not necessarily true. It is the same thing that happens with ideologies. Ideologies are often seen as inherently superior by those who do not agree with them. In theory, this is correct, but there is more to it than just ideology and culture. People also think in terms of stereotypes and stereotyped types. People think in terms of how you feel and how other people should feel. This is why so many ideologies seem like they have become a form of religion. People tend to believe what they want to believe. A stereotype is usually perceived in the way people imagine it to be perceived. It is a way of seeing things; a way of thinking that does not fit what it thinks others will think, or will accept. For example, people assume that if you don' t like someone, then you're not friendly; if someone is too outspoken, you're rude; if someone has a hard time expressing emotion, you're angry; if someone isn't happy in the relationship, you're unhappy. If someone has an eating disorder, that person is lazy; if someone suffers from some sort of medical problem, the person is sick; if someone has a mental illness, that person needs help. If one believes all these things without reason, it can lead to unhealthy beliefs. But, these beliefs are often wrong. People often perceive things in the way they wish others thought of them. These biases may result in unhealthy habits. The belief systems created to support these harmful attitudes are often based on stereotypes, beliefs, behaviors, or values of the group. These beliefs can create unhealthy beliefs and toxic behaviors. This is why ideologies are dangerous. They can easily change people's minds and make them think that what they see as acceptable behavior is unacceptable. And that is the problem with ideologies. They are very much alike. People can easily go either way. So, it is important for us to understand why ideologies are dangerous, and why they must be changed.

but liberalism is liberal because it is liberal, and if you have a liberal mindset then you can make it work no matter how bad or bad for others you are. —Mikhail Bakunin

This segment consists of rightwardly inclined women who want to make others conform to their values, and are thus impelled towards authoritarianism and totalitarianism. They may also be considered to be liberals, though they tend to be very conservative.
