h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A637391

The theory of democratic anarchy is to my mind an epiphany (even if I do say so myself ) While not the most seemingly sane concept (the very beauty of the theory) it works, theoretically. It is a new way forward in political methodology and could be the answer to all of our problems (or at least could be if it was recommended)
I thank you for your time.

Alas, hidden by the moderators
I look forward to its return.

Sorry, that's your homespace not the article...

Hi, read it now. An interesting article with a lot of truth in there and some stuff I don't agree with but hey ho, that's politics.

I'm not convinced this is suitable as an edited guide entry as it reads more like a personal manifesto than a factual entry on communism or anarchy.

Sorry but that's my opinion, others may disagree so don't take that as an official statement.

Bye for now,

Thank you for the review of the site, it is in one way a personal manifesto but it's role as a possible (although as yet theoretical) political model is arguably a reason for it enterring the guide (not that I'm arguing with your arbitration!) However your points have been noted and I will try to write something about the history and facts of the subjects in hand (although in practical terms communism has no future as everybody trying to implement it has made a complete shambles of the whole thing) We can but try. Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the positive response and I'm sure if you inlcude what you say then it should be suitable as an editied guide entry

Sigh....

It does an old lefty's heart good to see an entry like this.

I think that if you take out a few of the personal references, or 'de-personalize' them, this has a good shot at miking the guide.

Here's hoping!

An objective (and non-first person) view of this material could make a very good entry.

I am in total agreement with that....a good entry that simply needs to be revised to conform to the edited entry standards.... Keep up the good work, and the faith

You make one statement that I find totally impossible to agree with.

Yuo say that a "good anarchist" wants there to be no government. this is wrong. a situation with no government is inherently unstable. This will then decay into a government which will probably become authoritarian.

What the good anarchist really wants is a minimal government, which as part of it's constitution has a set of rules designed to weaken the power of the government, and keep it minimal.
