remarkable paraphrase from a rabble article that i cannot get over:

"anarchism follows from the work of enlightenment philosophers like edmund burke."

http://aaeblog.com/2007/10/24/burkes-semi-serious-anarchism/

burke was a freedom-seeker? maybe if you were at the top of the hierarchy.

that astoundingly pretentious failed attempt to seem intelligent aside, this is fairly accurate. i'm willing to cautiously pull jefferson into the left-libertarian tradition...

actually, i think that would be a good monty python skit - burke secretly prancing around with jacobins, secretly plotting for the king's overthrow...

ok. i think i got this. bravado, yes; quoting something without actually reading it...
