A Meaningful Smashing of the State (Part 1)
The following is the first part of a book I am working on I thought about this in Prison alot, you think about the State alot in prison so have started to write the book. Here is the Abstract: In this work I will be addressing the issue of the question of the State in political philosophy. Defining the sociological and anthropological definition of the State. How the concept of the State has developed in political philosophy beginning with the Enlightenment. I examine three political philosophies: Conservatism, Liberalism and Socialism: Anarchism and Communism. I argue that Socialism is actually an extension of Classical Liberalism by examining the thought of Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, US Federalists and Anti-Federalists, Paine, Godwin, Hegel, Marx, Engels, Bakunin, Proudhon, and Kropotkinin the Classical age of Liberalism and Socialism. Then moving into modern thought in the 20th century by addressing the ideas of Lenin, Keynes, Hayek, Von Mises, Rocker, Gramsci and others. Finally, addressing the later developments of the Autonomists both Anarchist and Marxist with special focus on the Autonomist Marxist philosophy of Antonio Negri, as well as Anarcho-Primitivists and the critique of the State and ending with an independent critique of all the philosophies and looking forward to a revitalized vision of a post-State world by drawing on the best points of the philosophers and modern scientific studies on the State and the concept of self-organization (autonomy). There are Seven Chapters in the Book, I will be posting each chapter as I complete the rough drafts of them.
