Your intention to do what you say you are doing oozes from every word, which is why I generally hang on them.

I have come to similar conclusions about our present situation from a completely different perspective, and this grossly validates your own views IMHO. I was poorly socialized. I probably could have been considered feral at some point in my youth. I lived off the land in Alaska, and society and institutions were my anathema.

Interestingly, I note that one Jesus held similar views to both of us. If the early church wasn't socialist, I'll eat my hair. Then, like all institutions, it was weaponized by nefarious actors and we were graced by the Holy Roman Empire. I'm all for sharing peacefully, but am agin' having my stuff taken by force.

From what I've read of yours, you've no interest in theft. I'll allow we will never fully align our politics in this world, but expect that your personal motivations will continue to make that a relatively moot point. In a world in which all people share willingly with those in need, the label slapped on whatever mechanism used to benefit folks won't matter one bit.

I'm a rabid anarchist since I see that vipers infest every institution and use it's rhetoric to prey on the people, and this keeps folks from taking care of each other while encouraging them to steal. I reckon you feel the rhetoric is great, if only we could keep the bad people from turning it into lies so they can prey on good people. While we come at this from different angles using different words, I don't think we disagree at all.

Good enough for me. I always enjoy reading your posts, because you often mean exactly to achieve the same end as do I: free people from the parasitic burden of psychopaths incapable of benevolence, compassion, or freedom.

Thanks!
