Very cool video... and info... I like it .
I hope we see lot of this news from this small city ... I like what they did :)
It has been proven that the anarchist society based more or less on a voluntaryist principles can actually work on a small, local scale.
The question still remains whether or not it can be successfully implemented on the larger scale...
Why would it have to be successful on a larger scale if government didn't exist? :)
Because people live in more places than Mexico?
Small groups can be peaceful and interact voluntarily, but that's not possible in larger groups? You've lost me, sorry. The principles are the same for individual to individual or from one group to another from my perspective. The size of the transaction or the scale involved do not change the ethics, right?
I think we are saying the same thing here though. :)
You seem to be misunderstanding what I'm saying.
What I'm trying to say and to point out is the very simple fact that a small scale successful experiment, although it's great to have it, doesn't necessarily imply that if you make the same effort but in a larger community by the like of a region, province or country, it will work the same way.
So far there are no examples proving that. That's all.
I did understand you correctly then, and I'm suggesting a larger scale shouldn't change anything. Did everyone consent? Was it voluntary? Then it is a good thing from one adult to another or one community to another. Would there be large scale interactions? Sure, there would be.
Just because monarchs and tyrants have taken over the planet doesn't make what they are doing right, and I don't see an easy way to get rid of them and their tax farms either. The best way I can tell to move forward is to walk away from those systems and not recreate them.
It isn't going to be easy though. They are not going to leave individual liberty lovers alone. We are a resource to be exploited and stolen from. I don't need to see a larger scale working model to know what is ethical or not. The larger scale model not being done in a long time doesn't matter to me either.
Create a system that oligarchs can take over, and they will take it over. It doesn't matter if you form a republic, dictatorship, or have a monarchy. All of those systems are easily taken over, and human history proves that to be the case. I don't see a way to create a system without it being taken over in fact. Give people special protections and double standards under the law, and the tyrants will naturally gravitate towards those positions.
Great video Jeff! There is nothing better than using natural remedies.
The government and the system do not car about the people. We have to take action.
nice video
Great interview once more. This anarchy place in Mexico really is something. Would be cool to watch the premiere at Anarchapulco 2019.
There is no such a thing like "unpopular government". For its existence state needs to have support from the people. So to rid of the state it is crucial to change people's worldview. We need to teach. Here is something interesting:
