RE: My thoughts on Anarchy - Heroes and Mobsters
Interesting post and I've been musing on the same issue lately. It's quite coincidental to me that anarchist thought is so compatible with the mafia ethos! Damn, it's near impossible to tell the difference between Jesus and Satan these days:D One of the foundational assumptions of old monotheism, BTW....
Oh, those Italian mafiosos? Not so much: you'd have to look to another prominent tribe to grok who they really are....
I think fascism is pretty hard to grasp. While the violence is surely somewhat rooted in the Italian Fascist history and their bond might be rather build on nationalism than voluntary cooperation, I do think the "living by your own rules" flair the Mob generally has is quite reminiscent of Anarchy.
