520 _aThis is a manifesto for a wilder democracy. This is an ethic for free, courageous and anarchic democrats. Courage is necessary because fear is the death of democracy. Fear--fear for personal security, fear of change and loss--leads to fascism and authoritarianism. Anarchy protects us. Anarchy is not a license, anarchy is the shadow and salvation of democracy, the discipline of the free. Wild democracy is nurtured in anarchic spaces. The Western canon taught that true democracy is dangerous, and that the people are a problem to be managed. This book argues that people have not only the right but the ability to rule themselves. The law should not rule them, they should rule the law. The book offers a critique of liberalism, the rule of law, and the Western canon. The anarchy that the book advocates is not a rejection of politics, solidarity, or cooperation: it is the rejection of any ruler but oneself. Wild democrats speak freely and deliberately. They are unafraid of difference, diversity and pluralism. They take risks. They experiment with new forms of government and the abandonment of governance. They dare to live with their enemies, to become new people and make new worlds. They recognize that when liberty is gone they have not only the right but the duty to rebel. This book, composed of a series of brief theses, offers a braver, more daring ethic for democrats, one that values courage more than civility, places respect above tolerance, and rejects authoritarianism decisively.
