that frag would be gone in an instant. It ultimately starts with us being able to actually question, to challenge, to resist authority. And that's something that has existed since humans have been humans. Throughout history, we see this sort of compulsion to resist authority. And that sort of seed of resistance is what anarchists hope to have flourish.

We are back. So like I said before, authority gets confused with a lot of different things. Force and violence is a main one. It's one that Marxists in particular love. That's a conflation of authority with any use of force. You know, the slave resisting the slave owner is actually an example of authority.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, force and violence are associated with authority and they can be a mechanism of defending authority, but they're not in and of themselves authority. They're not the source of authority. They don't constitute authority. And you could just as easily use them to resist authority.

Exactly. Exactly. And really, we have to understand violence forces are things that are used by authorities. But if I punch somebody in the face, that doesn't make me an authority over them. You know, if I defend myself from being a punch, that doesn't make me an authority over the person trying to punch me.

The source of authority is really about that right, that position, that recognized right above others, that position, that social relationship above others. That's what grants authority. It's recognition. The general of an army is not an authority because he's holding a gun to the heads of all the other soldiers and making them do things.

The general is to be recognized as authority because of his position and the privileges and rights and powers that that position gives him. If tomorrow all the soldiers decided to turn on their general, as has happened historically, that is 100% possible. That is an instance of force or of violence being used to resist authority rather than being used to be authority.
