“States can be more or less democratic, and so can socialism. I think any ideal society that exists on a large scale, which is what we most likely have in store for us as a human race, will involve some aspects of socialism.” ThinkingHumansStatesRaceAspectIdealsDemocraticStoresScalesSocialismHuman RaceLarge ScaleIdeal Society Author:Cynthia Kauffman

“Anarchism as the name for an ideal total social form is a really complicated question. I have never found satisfying answers from anarchists about the definition of the state they are opposed to. Most are opposed to coercive forms of state power. Questions about large scale systems of organization and how they will be funded - those are questions it's hard to get anarchists to give good answers to.” GivingHardStatesFormFoundNamesSocialAnswersIdealsOrganizationDefinitionsComplicatedScalesSatisfyingAnarchismAnarchistLarge Scale Author:Cynthia Kauffman
