And to you good sir.

  Remember, remember!
    The fifth of November,
    The Gunpowder treason and plot;
    I know of no reason
    Why the Gunpowder treason
    Should ever be forgot!
    Guy Fawkes and his companions
    Did the scheme contrive,
    To blow the King and Parliament
    All up alive.
    Threescore barrels, laid below,
    To prove old England's overthrow.
    But, by God's providence, him they catch,
    With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
    A stick and a stake
    For King James's sake!
    If you won't give me one,
    I'll take two,
    The better for me,
    And the worse for you.
    A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
    A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
    A pint of beer to wash it down,
    And a jolly good fire to burn him.
    Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
    Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
    Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!

maybe i embody the anarchist ways that guy fawkes did? its much more than the movie.

i celebrate it because guy fawkes was the man, stood up and didnt conform to the government. he was a true anarchist, stuck it to the man.

Do you happen to be a skinny white guy? Maybe wear a few ripped jackets? If you aren't over 6ft, I wouldn't really advocate anarchy. You guys would be the first to go, while the bigger guys rape your sister, burn down your house, and take your food.

no i do not wear ripped jackets, i am in fact over 6 feet, and i can hold my own in a fight. so before you go and stereotype maybe you should think, anarchy is a state of mind, not a physical thing.

It depends on what type of anarchism you are talking about, political or philosophical?

But it is a physical thing. Because at the end of the day if you really followed anarchy you would have to be completely self sufficient, and that involves no law. You are your own law in a sense, and obviously the bigger and stronger people would be able to best enforce their own law. Personally I'd love it, all I can think of is living road warrior style.

Then that is not anarchism, if people are enforcing law, be it their own or that of a commune, then that is a state. So anarchism, in the sense that you describe it, is unattainable, for the instant that people enforce their own rules, they become a state and then cease to live under the tenants 9flawed ones at that) of anarchism.

People will want to survive regardless. If they see you have shelter, and they do not, I don't believe they will ask nicely for it. I only say law because in lack of law or society, you are an enforcer. Anarchy requires a degree of violence if you really want to pull it off.

I don't disagree, what i am trying to say is that if that person wants your shelter, and then uses any sort of act (violent or not) to impose their will upon an another person, then they are, in effect, enacting their own law onto someone else. The way I see it is that by participating in such an action, you have become the state in which you originally wanted to be free from. You are not the same because you may not enact the same rules, however you are putting rules, or laws, in place that apply to others and yourself, so in theory there is no possible way to have true anarchism.
I apologize if that is convoluted, I just cant think of another way of saying what I want to.

Our story begins, as these stories often do, with a young up-and-coming politician. He's a deeply religious man and a member of the conservative party. He is completely single-minded convictions and has no regard for the political process. Eventually, his party launches a special project in the name of 'national security'. At first, it is believed to be a search for biological weapons and it is pursued regardless of its cost. However, the true goal of the project is power, complete and total hegemonic domination. The project, however, ends violently... but the efforts of those involved are not in vain, for a new ability to wage war is born from the blood of one of their victims. Imagine a virus - the most terrifying virus you can, and then imagine that you and you alone have the cure. But if your ultimate goal is power, how best to use such a weapon? It is at this point in our story that along comes a spider. He is a man seemingly without a conscience; for whom the ends always justify the means and it is he who suggests that their target should not be an enemy of the country but rather the country itself. Three targets are chosen to maximize the effect of the attack: a school, a tube station, and a water-treatment plant. Several hundred die within the first few weeks. Until at last the true goal comes into view. Before the St. Mary's crisis, no one would have predicted the outcome of the elections. No one. But after the election, lo and behold, a miracle. Some believed that it was the work of God himself, but it was a pharmaceutical company controlled by certain party members made them all obscenely rich. But the true genius of the plan was the fear. A year later, several extremeists are tried, found guilty, and executed while a memorial is builterected to canonize their victims. Fear became the ultimate tool of this government. And through it our politician was ultimately appointed to the newly created position of High Chancellor. The rest, as they say, is history.

Fucking idiots thinking that people remember the 5th of November because of V for Vendetta.
Guy Fawkes day is a national event in England. It is when Fawkes tried and failed to blow up parliament. It is celebrated in England with bonfires, burning of effigies and fireworks usually. If you're not from England, it really has nothing to do with you, and going around wearing a V mask will just make you look like a faggot /b/tard.

youre a fucking idiot? these kids watched the movie, google searched and all of a sudden are anti-government anarchists? they had no idea about any of this until watching that movie. look even one of them posted up a monologue FROM the movie. aside from jodi, this is equivalent to watching will smith kill aliens then celebrating independence day. its pathetic that you even posted up a wikipedia article and tried to tell me to get learned.

fucking retards all around, good job. go get high, complain about the government and jerk off to hugo weaving.

everyone knows wiki is always 100% true. just facts nothing else. Not gonna lie, its a pretty lame "holiday" sounds like the equivalent of a failed terrorist attack. lets celebrate the day Richard reed got caught trying to shoe bomb an airplane!! or how about timothy McVeigh? you can call him an anarchist i guess. i mean the reason he got caught is because his get away car didnt have plates because he hated the government and didn't want to pay to register it.

Americans celebrating this holiday is like English people celebrating Independence day. GTFO if youre not English, seriously.
November 5th has nothing to do with fucking V for Vendetta. As someone else said, it would be like starting to celebrate July 4th after watching Independence Day... except even worse seeing has this entire holiday has nothing to do with North America... This shit happened before America was even a country.

I just think its funny that you call someone a retard then send them a link to wiki. if you want someone to "get learned" you should at least send them a good source.

wiki is a reliable source if you aren't an idiot.  We can use it in research papers at school you just need to back it up.... like i did.  as i said wiki was right in this case because i am not an idiot.  please learn to read.

Would it be similar to americans celebrating cinco de mayo?  how about st. Patricks day?  Americans will celebrate anything as long as they can drink.

wiki maybe be acceptable your sophomore year of high school, but once you go to college, don't even think about putting anything from wiki in any of your papers. big boy school doesn't take wiki serious.

Youre a fucking tool. Sure college doesnt accept wiki as a source, but that doesnt mean its all fucking bullshit. Its a pretty fucking accurate encyclopedia, and is a very legitimate way to gain a solid background understanding on a subject that you know nothing about.
Youre acting as if all of wiki is just completely made up. If you havent noticed, on almost all major articles, there is a very long list of viable sources from where the information is taken.
