Proudhon believed in the equal distribution of wealth, so no property rights in a capitalist sense. But you can have private property like, you know, family photos and stuff. The inequal distribution of wealth is, among other things, murder and theft and all the rest.

I'll take your word for it. My knowledge of anarchism comes from Wikipedia, socialists and other anarchists, none of which are reliable sources (Wikipedia for obvious reasons, socialists because they don't like anarchists, and anarchists because many of them know shit all about anarchism. I met someone at Occupy Melbourne who called himself an anarchist but then said he doesn't believe class exists).

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I would have eliminated the middle class label since the American dream is for everyone and besides less labels is better.

I would have gotten rid of all the labels. Seriously, "corrupt corporate overlords"?

It's a mythical construct put into our collective consciousness by the upper class to trick us into thinking we have a chance of being slightly more than slaves. Its success depends on the general lack of intelligence of the masses, and that's how capitalism really works.

I am not sure how you could get meaning without some label. There really isn’t any decent, easily recognizable symbol in there. I would actually say that the “Corrupt Corporate Overlords” is the most important label, though it probably should be changed to something that could be taken more seriously. The other two labels, we can do with out. Especially “Crumbling American Dream.”

Ah, then you want to go to the Catholic church.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.
