Telling Other People How To Live
The state has quite rightly been described as one of the most destructive institutions that human beings have ever conjured.
Trying to tell other people how to live their life, and punishing them when they go against your decrees, is a tricky and costly business.
And criticizing this manner of organization alone doesn't mean that you are also criticizing rules in general, or the act of organization itself.
It could simply be that you prefer an order of organization that is founded upon and respects individual consent.
The notion that governments strive to promote our best interest could be described as little more than propaganda.
A system which violates the rights of the smallest minority, the individual, cannot be one that has been established to promote the best interest of that individual.
A free society is not one that's founded upon interventionism.
Under the current system today, the individual is threatened with harm whenever they fail to comply with whatever arbitrary edicts have been established. Does this sound like safety? Is this what freedom really looks like?
Society would be much more peaceful and flourishing if more people would opt to refrain from supporting a corrupt and counterproductive system of intervention that seeks to violate the natural rights of all and endlessly infringe upon various social arrangements.
Totally loved reading this and couldn't agree more. You said it so eloquently. I was just thinking that everyone should tend to their own garden of choices, but you made damn good points. If we'd all just listen to the inner voice (including and especially politicians) there would be such a greater prosperity on this earth.
"The notion that governments strive to promote our best interest" made me chuckle a bit.
I'm so relieved to find such an incredible amount of voluntaryists on Steemit. Thank GOD or whatever because I finally found my home. Farcebook is mucho depressing..
Me too I finally found my home... I Spend long long time searching for it :)
Likewise, too long. So very happy to be here now. I can only hope it lasts forever haha
Yes and we can make it last forever!!!

The state is not totally evil. I think it is good that murderers involuntarily go to jail. We do need to reduce and reform government though.
an organization that doesn't respect consent and is founded upon coercion is evil in my eyes 👍 👍
Anarchy may seem nice on paper but I have never heard or seen it happen in reality. The closest maybe is some broke hippies living off the land. We do have a democracy though so technically we could elect leaders who would disband the government.
The key is equality under the law. When that is upheld and there's true justice for all as the saying goes, then leaders cannot be destructive. They would never be able to get away with it. Anarchism, as you know, means rules without rulers and governance without government. Government means there are special protections and double standards. Remove them. Make all people equally accountable for their actions. Then individual liberty is protected, and there really is "justice for all." Right now though? It's a joke. Justice is only something the Middle Class foolishly believe in because the rich and poor know better.
Don't force other people to submit to ideas they don't want to submit to, how about that? 👍 if you violate consent at the get-go, you can't claim any sort of protection under the law.
I'm telling other people how I live my life..
Be The change you want to see in the world...
One World One race, Let's s learn to give and share what we've
Many worlds, one species. :) We are all humans, and by god this better not be the only space rock we inhabit!
Rightly said @finnian.
It's quite challenging to find good people like yourself here on Steemit. And I really get excited when I one.
It's a pleasure to meet another friend. :)
I’m sure we’ll see each other next year in person.
Happy Steeming:)
Actually, we are probably not alone, so it would be many worlds, many species. ha ha
I agree with you @nathanmars!!

This is what I like in steemit, opening discussion room, I as the reader will add insight. hopefully we all success @alexandraioana26 and @nathanmars.
AMEN!!!
Don’t support corruption
The questions is why we, the should be free people allow this to happen and give away our personal power?
People allowing other people to take away their power is not an easy subject to tackle. So many people nowadays have been deeply programmed for so long that's it's guaranteed to be difficult for them to ever change.
Where you find sheep, you will find shepherds, would be my answer.
I totally agree people nowadays have been deeply programmed... Let's create new programming and upgrade people who wanted to be better programmed to live a meaningful life..
I have a meme for this lol
But I'll just say it..
"Yeah I'm in a cult, we brainwash people into thinking for themselves"
