RE: Simplify laws: No Victim, No Crime

in #philosophy7 years ago

That's a good idea. The only problem I see is with the implementation. The State's natural, most stable form is a big, high taxing, all regulating bureaucratic machine that forces some certain group's moral standards on everyone else. I think it is immoral, but is a highly stable form. They hold the force, the power, and can mess up with the incentives to keep things the way they want them to be. No amount of inside perturbation will take the State from this position. My belief is that the only way to fix it is to make a substitute from outside the State and enough people move to this new form of social organization, making the State unnecessary. Who knows, maybe bitcoin and steem are just the first steps towards this new thing that will take over the State :)

Exactly the plan I believe. One step at a time. Also need to make people wake up and see the truth and be willing to embrace freedom even with the dangers and risks that are a natural part of being free.

If by "Bitcoin" you mean it's technology then yes. The Blockchain and everything that can be done with it can decentralize many things and solve many problems. I may live to see a good change

It was @deadmosco that mentioned bitcoin. I do believe we can thanks to technology combined with blockchain and crowdsourcing initiatives handle and do a better job of the tasks currently "mishandled" by the government. It doesn't have to be bitcoin, in fact that one was simply first. I don't consider it the best by the long shot. It is just the most established. It currently is a currency only and we need to use the blockchain for a lot more things than currency if we are to replace government. It was a step in the right direction and it expanded the possibilities a great deal.
