I am often asked this question when I refer to myself as an anarchist. As most Americans are among the most politically and economically illiterate folks on earth, it is difficult to answer. Still it is important to try. Capitalism is currently very weak, as a result of rampant, unchecked globalization. Formerly, owners and corporations pulled the strings, but now even they are at the the mercy of the usurers. Cracks are forming everywhere within the capitalist system, largely as a result of its inability to deliver the basics (e.g. a living wage) to all but a minority of people. This is the so called "New Normal." Thus, this is a time to look for alternatives. Anarchism is one such alternative.
Below is a pamphlet in PDF form which should open on most computers that does a good job of explicating the basics of anarchism. I don't agree with all of it, but with most.
Warning: If you are close-minded, unimaginative or just plain too stupid to follow an argument, you will want to skip this.
