I don't know that I've written much about it here except as an entry to some anecdote or another. Reddawn is mostly refering to real life conversations I think.
Ideally, sub-culturally,* and ideologically, I'm an anarchist. I resisted the label during my high school years but started using it at the 1988 Anarchist conference in Toronto because I was moved by the community I found there. I appreciate the analysis of power and coercion and find it most useful to my political work and my life. But I pay taxes, vote, and generally submit to the will of the state until such time as there is a viable alternative. I find the anarchist community alternatively inspiring and embarrassing, but it was there for me in my formative years when I needed it. I recognize that others need it too. But I'm not going to be working out battlefield tactics with the Black Bloc as my main source of political outlet.
So how did you find my journal? Are you a member of any law enforcement agency? Give me a brief bio of things that are important or demographic about you. Can you use a pen name so I know when you comment that it's the same person?
