Reply to comment by ziq in The Anarchist Compass: Version 2.0 by ziq

I think zen has a lot of good elements especially the anarchust kind, but I think taoist just does all the good parts of Zen without all the bad parts of it being heavily based on Buddhism.

Zen as a whole has a lot of rules that is more about being a follower and idol worship and authoritarian stuff and following riligious scripture to skip over. So I think a lot of cool fables and lessons can be learned from zen but as a whole I dislike it.

But I think it's cool u like zen. I was mostly surprised since I never noticed you talking about it. I only added a critique because u asked me what's not to love. Otherwise I would have just replied "cool I'm glad u like it"..

Everything I like about zen was in those quotes I posted. I don't care about religion.

Was just padding the list a bit so they don't accuse the meme of being biased and thus sectarian and try to use that to force the mod to censor it like they did yesterday
