RE: Is Government Obsolete?
I actually think this is like many times a question of definition and language.
This is exactly what I was going to say when I read this:
To me a fair framework for individuals to act in is exactly what government should be.
I believe that structures and systems can serve an important role in protecting people and enacting justice. But those systems are not necessarily "government." The difference is that a government is made up of people who believe they have the moral right to rule over others.
It's clear to me now that you're operating on a different definition haha.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply.
It is actually great to see you agree on the definition problem. It came up in discussions I had with other Anarchos before but I was not really able to put it into words.
I also know how I title my post about Anarchy: "Anarchos are just Socialists with a definition problem":D. Even if Steemit does not receive it that well, I love to make these youtube-style clickbait headlines. :3
In some forms of socialism it is actually a strong notion that no human should have power over another. Many of my socialist goals in school debates (18 years ago) got criticized, because you would need complete voluntarism to achieve them.
