    Well … yes.

    I am an anarchist, after all.

    I mean, look at the world around you right now. Look what became of your revered leaders in history. How’s this whole following leaders thing working out for you so far? Why do you think it will be any different going forward?

      Explain the paradox.

      If you reject all leadership, you can’t follow the teachings of the anarchists who came before you. Therefore you can’t be an anarchist.

        lol, Anarchism isn’t about following teachings of others. That’s completely optional. The entire point of Anarchism is to reject authority. It would be self-defeating if we set up prominent anarchists of the past as authority figures.
