Anargeek manifesto
Thanks to LaughingMeme MLP, i just found the anargeek manifesto, and i love it. It says succinctly a lot of reasons why I’m both a geek and an anarchist, and explores the combination.
I actually came to be involved in the struggle for social justice through free software. When i was in high-school, my friend elliot introduced me to Linux and Free Software. I started reading a lot of Richard Stallman’s essays on Free Software philosophy, and was scared and intrigued by one called Right to Read.
i didn’t really spend too much time thinking about non-software-related politics until someone pointed me to Frequently Asked Questions about Anarchism. After reading a bunch of it, i thought “wow, that’s just like free software, except applied to the rest of the world.”
Geeky, i know…but that’s why i’m an anargeek ;)
Ride hard, ride free
