Diversity and Anarchism:  Interview with writer Terence Kissack

Anarchism is a multi-faceted political philosophy unfortunately stereotyped and equated with violence and chaos.  This is a misconception -- anarchism is a truly diverse way of thinking, one which cannot be characterized by simple, logos, slogans or party lines. No one has, in my opinion, adequately summarized the term to encompass all of its many branches and subsets. Anarchism, however, defined as a way of life that encompasses political, pragmatic and personal aspects.
