                      DECLARATION AND MANIFESTO
               (Composed in March of 1996 by Maphioso)
 
 
 I. EXPLANATION AND (A FEW) EXAMPLES
 
   A) We live in anarchy.  People are free to do as they choose, form
      groups as they choose, and oppress others as they choose.
 
   B) There exist no governments.  There exist no laws.  There merely
      exist big groups of people who like to try to force their
      beliefs and values upon those who don't conform to them.  This
      is permissible, however, because we live in anarchy.
 
   C) People are free to kill and rape.  But people are also free
      to capture those people who do, and enslave them, and even kill
      them (i.e. the "death penalty") just because the enslavers don't
      like it.  This is all permissible, for we live in anarchy.
      
   D) Two people are free to have consensual intercourse.  Of course,
      other people are free to intervene and impose restrictions, even
      slavery or fines if the two people aren't "married," happen to
      not be of the same race, happen to be of the same gender, or one
      or both of them: under a certain perceived "age of consent."  Of
      course, this is all permissible.  We live in anarchy.
 
   E) Large groups of people ("government") are free to invade land
      occupied by the previous natives, steal the land and impose
      ownership principles to the land, and then build an entire
      capitalistic economy based off of this theft, as if they had
      earned it fair and square.  Smaller groups of people, labelled
      "theives" by the larger groups of people ("government") even
      though they are really no different than the larger groups of
      people, can do the same thing, in smaller scales, by stealing
      what is claimed to be "owned" by the larger group.  Needless to
      say, anything's fair game in anarchy.  So this is all definitely
      permissible.
 
 
 II. SUMMARY OF SITUATION
 
   A) Anarchy, as it stands, sucks.  It is full of organized
      oppression (committed by these big groups that call themselves
      "government") and the will of nature is being supressed.
 
 
 III. ALTERNATIVE
 
   A) There must exist some form of power to combat conformity and the
      formation of (large) groups.
 
 
 IV. PROPOSITION: ANTI-CONFORMITY ENFORCEMENT (A.C.E.)
 
   A) All groups of a pre-determined size must surrender their
      authority to one group (which can be allotted, as necessary, to
      various regions of societal influence).  A group that is
      designed to breakdown all other groups that are bigger than a
      certain size, no matter how "peaceful" or "evil" these groups
      are perceived to be, since perception is merely that in the eye
      of the beholder, and since it will not be ACE's right to judge.
 
  
 V. SUMMARY OF IDEALIST ANARCHY
 
   A) Oppression would still exist via ACE, but would be miniscule
      compared to that of modern-day "governments."  Individual
      rights would thrive.  The will of nature would roam freely.
 
   B) People would still murder, rape, and steal.  Those that enjoy
      it.  But that is the will of nature.  Those that are victim
      (or are relatives to the victim) of murder, rape, or theft,
      can retaliate freely, via means of murder, rape, or theft on
      their own parts, if they'd choose.  There will be no group to
      do their dirty work for them, unlike today, with our righteous
      "governments" and the revenge that comes with them.
 
 
 VI. APPLICATION OF IDEALIST ANARCHY
 
   A) All groups with power ("governments") would have to be broken
      down and done away with ALTOGETHER, although this can be
      engineered over a prolonged period of time, via the gradual
      conditioning and preparation of society for this revolution --
      the people will need to learn to become wholly seperate of group
      dependence!  To think and act for themselves, for who they are
      individually, not as part of a group (as a follower).
 
   B) The "societal cleansing" must be done in unisun.  Taking out one
      or some large groups while leaving others, leaves those others
      the potential to re-conquer what you just un-conquered.
 
   C) Once complete, all groups bigger than a _few_ friends hanging
      out together would need to be broken apart.  Violently, if
      necessary.  Even peaceful groups, since it is not in ACE's
      right to judge.
 
   D) Those who are naturally confortable with conformism can join
      ACE and help break down all other conformism.
 
 
 VII. DANGERS
 
   A) The only potential downfall to this scheme would be the souring
      of ACE itself.  If a majority of people ever managed to change
      the will of ACE, or (God forbid) overthrow ACE in force,
      democracy would most likely be reformed, along with "government"
      and the mass-oppression that comes with it.  Idealist anarchy
      would die, and the sad excuse for anarchy that reigns today
      would, eventually, again run rampant.
 
   B) "Progress" as defined by modern-day society would slow down
      dramatically.  This, in and of itself, is not a real problem.
      Whats progress if we only "progress" ourselves up to a point
      where we blow ourselves up?  However, if any other large groups
      of people (i.e. hostile alien space-travellers from a distant
      galaxy) stumble upon our utopia, our lack of accelerated
      progress could be our undoing.  Of course, it doesn't have to be
      this way.  Once people got used to the system, they would
      contribute at their own pace.  For some this will be little or
      even none, for others it will be alot.  But just because groups
      can't be formed physically, it doesn't mean that new ideas and
      innovations can't still be shared among the masses.
 
 
 VIII. GRAND SUMMARY
 
   A) Anarchy.  Its not the law, its just a good idea.
