Ultimately, anarchy begins at home. Life without rulers as a serious proposition will entail self-rule, which cannot come about unless we properly accept and understand that we as individuals and we alone are totally responsible for our own lives and destinies. One of the first things that this understanding brings with it is the unsettling realisation that if we are our own leaders, we now have no one to blame and no excuse for failing at the tasks we set ourselves. We cannot blame our background or our parents or society in general for our limitations because we have taken the responsibility for our existence squarely on ourselves. We can’t say wistfully that we could have been someone special if we hadn’t been held back by our upbringing or our finances; by marrying that man, that woman; having or not having those specific kids. We can’t continue with the role of helpless and beleaguered victim in our own lives if we’ve just decided we are that life’s leader, are its heroines and heroes. If we’re trying to conceal our flaws it must be said that anarchy’s personal freedom offers very little cover.
