RE: Principles and Predictions
It wasn't the invasion that was an example of libertarianism, it was the tearing down of working social programs and leaving the country to fend for themselves. The Bush Administration used that whole war, and the events afterward as some kind of loony experiment in non-government. With no employment opportunities, education, health care, or security, the population latched hold of whatever appeased their frustration. In this case it was ISIS.
I see a lot of points in your article. The line: “WITHOUT GOVERNMENT WE WOULD ALL BE KILLING AND EATING EACH OTHER!!!” is what caught my attention mostly. Without government, the people of Iraq are killing and eating each other.
And again, you just did EXACTLY what the article describes, so I guess I should thank you for making my point. You make dire predictions about what life without a ruling class would be (in this case based on hallucinated "facts"), instead of saying anything about the actual principles.
Yeah, this makes you not really worth talking to: "The Bush Administration used that whole war, and the events afterward as some kind of loony experiment in non-government."
sorry vegascomic, islam is a both a government and a religion. you say there is not government. Isis believes it is following the quran which is government.
So what you're saying is that you have no idea what Islam and the Quran are? Got it!
ISIS wants to create a government based on their view of Islam. If Islam was a government they wouldn't have needed to do anything!
Islamic control was what resulted after their government was dismantled. It's not a good thing. If you advocate for the elimination of government, then you should have a plan for afterward. Bad shit is apt to happen, and usually does. Iraq is merely an example we can all use for when it's actually pulled off. Saddam Hussein knew full well what these crazy fuckers were capable of, probably why he ruled them an iron fist.
That's why you don't dismantle the government wholesale. If the people that depended on government still cling to the delusional belief in authority, they'll cling to whoever offers it. Another reason why your claim that Iraq is some sort of demonstration of what happens sans government is absurd. Not to mention that the US put in place a government immediately after overthrowing Hussein.
lolol this is like watching liberals say completely confirming the thesis of of Jonah Goldberg's Book "The Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas" by using cliches and pretending that they don't have any ideology.
You might want to go about this by proving the thesis of the article wrong by actually addressing the thesis of the article.
Thank you Sir/Madam for your input ....
