This is why I'm an anarchist

The states only reaction is violence, even when they are confronted by peaceful protests.

The Journey Begins

My name is Toby Gibbons and after spending several months listening to anarcho-punk and grindcore bands I decided to finally discover what all the fuss was about and look into this so called anarchism. After discovering the basic texts and theories I discovered that many anarchists claimed that my religion and anarchism was incompatible. I could not quite understand this idea and so decided to look into this matter a little further a discovered a little known political ideology called Christian anarchism. Several months down the line and I have started writing my Masters dissertation upon and have this very morning applied to write a PhD upon the subject.

However writing about the subject only goes so far and I have decided to act more upon my faith and so have decided to write this blog to inform those interested of my attempts to live according to my beliefs.
After all as the editor of newspaper a Pinch Of Salt kept reminding me "you are the salt" and if I am not flavouring anything what is the point of being salt?

I intend to use this blog, as I have already said, to chronicle my attempts at living an active anarchist and Christian life but also to post my thoughts and findings from my dissertation work and readings of Christian anarchist thinkers.

Hopefully I'll have something interesting to write here fairly frequently but I cant promise anything.

Here's to a brighter, peaceful and more just future.
