RE: Statism: A Terrible Lie

in #statism5 years ago

I wish this was absolutely true.

Then, it would be easy to abolish the state.
However, humans need an organizational structure to operate in.

A neighboring tribe comes to say high, well, the "leaders" usually get together first, and then discuss all the circumstances. Having everyone there in that meeting is often difficult, but also tedious. Or basically creating treaties.

Another piece is arbitrating between two people of the group. Not all agreements can be worked out strictly between two people. So a person who is considered wise by both people is sought to arbitrate.

These are structures, and what is considered the "state".

Things that people who claim themselves sovereign suddenly find themselves responsible for handling.

And, it is these things that have to be put in place first, as an alternative structure, before you can kill off the old state.

Sort:  

It is true. Where you are completely wrong is in assuming you need statism in order to have organization.

Voluntary organization has and will always work better than coercion. It will never be easy to abolish the state so long as billions of people maintain the illusion that they need a leech suckling from them in order to survive.

an organization which claims to provide you safety.. while violating your consent.. does anything but. Have you not seen the fruits of statism for the past thousand years or more? sigh..... if only you favored freedom more than you clutch onto fear and lies.
