The Rule of Law Q&A
Is lunarchy a branch of anarchy?
Not exactly. ‘Anarchy’ means no law at all. Lunarchy rejects man-made law, which is one-sided and therefore invalid. Lunarchy means a different kind of law.
What kind, exactly?
Universal law applied impartially to everyone. After all, the same moon belongs to us all.
But don’t laws have to be invented by human beings? The moon left to itself can’t do that.
True, but why leave the moon to itself? After all, half the population is female.
Please go on.
‘Lunarchy’ means ‘rule by the moon’. Imagine the world turned upside down. Women would want to restructure everything, including the way time is organised. It wouldn’t be long before everyone rediscovered the moon, connecting via the moon with one another’s menstrual cycles. Then, once a month, we could just go wild, just go on strike.
Is that what you mean by ‘the rule of law’?
Yes. It would be the law that you mustn’t cross a picket line. No other law would be required.
No other law?
No other law.
What, no other law at all?
No other law at all.
You mean women would just go on strike?
We’d just go on strike. Each dark moon, we’d all go on strike.
And that would be the law?
That would be the law.
That would be the law.
That would be the law.
And for how long would you stay on strike?
Until full moon.
And then what?
Then we’d go back to work. We’d celebrate with a wonderful honeymoon. Sex all night long.
Under the full moon?
Under the full moon. Then, come daybreak, we’d find all kinds of chores. We’d work on as happy wives.
And for how long would you be back at work as happy wives?
Until we got pissed off with you all once more and decided to go on strike again.
And you’d resume industrial action at dark moon, right? Under the dark night sky?
Yes, at new moon. Under the dark night sky. With the moon down among us, doing its bloody work. Under that red flag, we’ll be out on that picket line again.
And that will be the law?
That will be the law.
That will be the law.
That will be the law.
Did I hear that right? Can you say it one time more?
OK, once more. Just in case you didn’t hear.
Now as in the beginning.
No violence. No bloodshed.
Your laws are bloody crimes.
Hear that? Your laws are bloody crimes.
We’ve taken over.
We’ve taken over.
Our blood is now the law.
