"17. On having thoughts
If I were pressed to give my brand of political thought a label, I would call it pessimistic anarchistic quietism, or anarchist quietistic pessimism, or pessimistic quietistic anarchism: anarchism because experience tells me that what is wrong with politics is power itself; quietism because I have my doubts about the will to set about changing the world, a will infected with the drive to power and pessimism because I am sceptical that, in a fundamental way, things can be changed. "
Amen! I have about 20 pages left in the book, and I still don't know if I'm a fan or not...so I just carry on.
