I was never an anarchist. Why?

 Because I always knew there had to be some kind of order to prevent total chaos.

The question is: "What kind of order to you want?"

I prefer democracy after seeing everything else.

I especially don't want the extreme right Selfish where "ONly the Richest White people survive!" kind of order that people like Hitler and Trump represent.

The first time I collected unemployment compensation because I got laid off with many others from my job in my 20s I realized that FDR was right about Unemployment compensation and Social Security and later Medicare became a thing. So, for me personally European systems are too vulnerable to people coming from other countries to come onto the European forms of Dole.

I always thought that unemployment compensation (so you don't starve to death between jobs) and Social Security (so you don't die before your time) are a good idea.

However, paying 75% taxes like many people do in Europe didn't sound like a good idea to me even though you usually have cradle to the grave (like Obamacare) available for free like in places like France and Austria and England. Only Obamacare you have to pay a certain amount for that(or you did before Trump stole people's lives away by changing that to death for them.

So, my choice is Democracy not Anarchism or Hitler and Trump's version of reality where people have no rights and are often beaten to death or shot for having a different point of view than the dictatorship.  

For example, in the movie One Battle After Another(2025) you have Sean Penn excellently playing a Trump like ICE figure who is obviously mentally ill (by anyone's standards) who buys into the whole extreme right rich white people's thing because he obviously didn't grow up either rich or sane or he wouldn't have been doing what he was doing. Observing him throughout this movie you see the kind of military person that Trump attracts (which is a beaten down PTSD sort of insane person who is a member of ICE who shoots people because of likely Police or Military PTSD. In other words they are in ICE because they couldn't make it doing anything else useful without hurting people wherever they go.

So, in this sense ICE has become the Hitler Brownshirts of the 1930s once again.
