RE: IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING POLITICAL, YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING!!!!

in #anarchy6 years ago

It sucks that your getting so much heat for the path you have chosen. There is a big push from Kokesh in the terms of timelines. He hopes to see a sizeable change within his lifetime. The other thing driving some of the push has to do with existing conditions.

The people who are directly inverse of volunteerism are willing and engaged in playing power politics. There is no limitations on crafting power and public policy against volunteerism. It's a form of aggression coming from people that don't care their aggression is aimed at others. I have been trying to think of a solution to that. It usually looks like: 'it will be ok when enough people defect out of that system'. That may be a long term outlook, but the aggression is happening today, right now. It kind of becomes a problem of equilibrium. How much aggression should be applied to the aggressors, and what should that look like?

I like Kokesh in the fact that he is applying some back pressure to the typical aggressions seen by many regular people That said, followers vary, and the authority/praise some are willing to lend to Adams cause is considerable.

Right. This is why I view pouring more resources into the violent system, in the long term “hope” that a “leader” will save everyone via the very mechanisms of the same violent system isn’t really a viable approach. Not to mention, the “plan” Adam has proposed is not compatible with foundational Voluntaryist principle.

That said, followers vary, and the authority/praise some are willing to lend to Adams cause is considerable.

Adam himself has made the same types of implications and non-arguments I discussed in the video.
