When we stop being violent, the Illuminati will jizz.

Please pardon me for the vulgar title, it's just an allegory. I hope.

The free masons, the Bilderbergs, the elites -- whatever you want to call it -- it seems fair to say there is a group of people who influence the rules for the world. The ruling class. And as an anarchist, we generally assume our philosophy wholly opposes these people.

How could it not? They make the rules, and we want there to be no rulers. These are our enemies.

Well, violence isn't a control freak’s only tactic. In an unhealthy marriage, one or both people might use emotional ploys to “control” things to what they want. No violence is used, but people are manipulated to behave in a way that serves another person’s interest. The elimination of a state (the elimination of the legal right for certain people to impose violence on others) doesn't exhaust all avenues of this more subtle type of “control”.

And really it was all mind-control in the first place. It was programming of our consciousness that made us believe the violence was okay. So in that sense, nothing fundamental has changed. The infrastructure of knowing how to tinker with what people think (for all we know, the infrastructure of spying on us to gain access to information that other people don't have) will still be in place. The program carries on.

We deal with this already. “Milk: it does a body good”, they tell us. But unless you're a baby cow, this couldn't be more false. Without using violence, people with a financial interest at stake have colluded to misdirect you into something that isn't truly best for you (they actually got us to drink another species' milk!).

People lie, and we learn (eventually), and then you can't tell that lie anymore. This is a process that will continue to play out, and as information becomes increasingly decentralized it becomes increasingly harder to lie. Eventually we reach a point of balance and harmony where it just isn't worth the effort to lie. But that point of harmony or awareness or whatever you want to call it lags a little behind the lack of violence.

And this is a good thing. Because it means the elites aren't desperately attached to the idea of a state. Sure, without a state there's drastically less that they can do, and it means they're in the sunset of their charade. But at the same time, the explosion of wealth that comes out of a free society means that what tiny bit of control they do have is exponentially more valuable.

So this is the big payout or joyride in the end.

So to think they don't want us to be free is maybe a mistake. When you jerk yourself off, you might take a step backwards after you take two steps forward. For maximum pleasure you might do what you can to contain the inevitable. But getting off is the point. How exactly you do it is subjective. And there are probably elements within the powers that be that want it to come quickly and others that want to resist it. 

So when we break away from the violence, it’s not necessarily a bad thing for the elites. Because they had their little psychotic orgasm in the end.

Anarchism is beautiful. It's the complete lack of struggle. So I don't think we get there by “winning” some sort of tussle against them. Seems we’re destined to always be in a struggle as long as we view it that way. Rather, I think we’re all in it together, and those in power benefit right along with us as their control dissipates.

In any slave/master relationship, it's really the master who is the most enslaved. The slave at least has his dignity. The master is consumed by the need for control and all the hassles that go into maintaining it. So I empathize deeply with the elites. What choice do they really have anyways? Is there any permutation of Jeb Bush’s life where he leaves it all behind and lives his dreams? When we move away from this paradigm, we all win.
