Thanks much! I've heard about Blood Meridian so I will give it a shot.

LOLOL that is awesome. Not sure why it was downvoted though.

No offense, but all these lists just seem like every flaw you could find in anyone. It leaves very little wiggle room for people to work with. Just my opinion.

Nahh dude. I was the same, and at the end of high school people grew to like me and would ask me questions they knew their other friends wouldn't be able to help them with. High school is fucking weird, but the people who are honest, intelligent, and stir some shit up end up the most satisfied and fulfilled.

Is this a quote from "The Naked Communist"?

I am a huge fan of literature. I personally enjoy Russian authors like Dostoevsky and Chekov. But I'd like to broaden my horizons. Any suggestions would be great, and I can offer some too!

So you are saying it would have to be more of a social upheaval or social pressuring rather than using the already established routes of trade negotiations? Because I was under the impression that even Obama's executive orders don't expand to trade deals. Sort of why the TPP had to go through Congress.

Maybe there is already a post on this. If so, please let me know. Trump often claims to be willing to alter, impose, and end trade deals with China. But from my understanding of trade deals, they are often not dictated at all by the President, and to a certain extent the US Government as a whole. NAFTA required agreements between three countries. The IMF, World Bank, and WTO are multi-governmental organizations that bargain on and agree on trade arrangements. How could Donald Trump effectively make any change? First he would have to get the US Congress on board, which seems hard to do with the current Republican and Democrat politicians. And even getting Congress on his side wouldn't guarantee a favorable response from larger trade organizations. So how much of what he proposes in regards to trade could be practically achieved?

But couldn't one argue that voluntaryism is separate from anarchism? From my understanding voluntaryism has a desired form of organization (that being voluntary organization) which many variants of anarchism seem to object to.

Mine was tested about 10 years ago at 135 IIRC, but was never told by what standard/format so I couldn't tell you how legitimate it was. Plus that might be a bit generous
