Anarchism—Unthinkable?

Domination has afflicted more and more of the world during its 6000-year history, and today the whole world is under its grip. Its pattern of privileged elites living at the expense of dominated masses has left many people feeling that nothing else is possible. In particular, anarchism seems unthinkable. How could the world exist without Domination?

Yet before Domination was invented in the late Neolithic, communities worldwide had lived in anarchism for a quarter of a million years, without armed central authority and ruling elites. Ironically, for peoples who lived during those times, the idea of anarchism truly was unthinkable. Consider native peoples who had never worn shoes or encountered people who did. They could have no such idea as "barefoot"—the absence of something beyond their knowledge or imagination. The same was true of "anarchism."

Human ingenuity has often created the previously unthinkable and unimaginable. It created Domination, and now we must organize our ingenuity and energy to create a world where our descendants find Domination unthinkable—a nightmare of the legendary past, banished forever.
