    May the soul of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in eternal peace. A voice different from the voices of the empire manipulators. He was a voice of courage to the downtrodden. ❤

    In calling him an "anarchist" she means he adhered to Anarchism as opposed to anarchy. This was in fact a self-identifier.

    At first I didn't see the 'good' part and thought wow that's rude.😂

    Not sure the person giving the tribute understands what anarchism is.

      Not sure if she even understands anything. Another boorish tribute from the over rated Bonnie Greer.

      BG is so overrated. And some of the things she says are downright ignorant!

      What's the point of making that comment, all it does is display your ignorance.

      Letting your true education show.

      Then maybe look him up rather than making yourself look like a plank.
      Show some respect.

    Just trying to imagine life without authority/ authorities or leaders / government… actually trying to think of a country around today without authority that is peaceful and people help each other and no one has more than others ! … sorry can’t think of one … if all authority’s disappeared tomorrow there would be untold blood spilt on the streets around the world … then eventually a new leader would rise to power … and the cycle would continue.. always has .. always will , R.I.P Benjamin

    He was so right need people challenge establishment, yes he did that in many ways with animal rights activism, being a vegan being such a compassionate golden template legend
