The first anarchist?

Chuang Tsu, circa 400 BC:

[ QUOTE ]
The ruler of the South Sea was called Light; the ruler of the North Sea, Darkness; and the ruler of the Middle Kingdom, Primal Chaos. From time to time, Light and Darkness met one another in the kingdom of Primal Chaos, who made them welcome. Light and Darkness wanted to repay his kindness and said, "All men have seven openings with which they can see, hear, eat, and breathe, but Primal Chaos has none. Let us try to give him some." So every day they bored one hole, and on the seventh day, Primal Chaos died.

If you happen to believe the Bible, Eve would have been numero uno, wouldn't she?

No, it would be Cain. Eve was in search of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Cain was just jealous.

You're both wrong. Both Eve and Cain were criminals, not anarchists.

Ha, I get your point about Cain, but what did Eve do that was so bad? Was it God's tree, thus making her action larcenous?

I guess it was that whole total disobedience of God's law. In His eyes, I think that's considered "bad"...

Exactly. She stole apples.

Are they mutually exclusive?

An excellent question! Posed by someone who evidently knows the definition(s) of anarchy.

A "real" anarchist respects private property and human rights.
