RE: The Day I Became An Individualist
I think that this does come down to, will we have choice or will we give it away to the state. Unfortunately the truth of the matter is if most people give it away we will all be forced to play along (or die).
"someone drank my last beer so I will drink yours now"
It was at the moment Flitsher knew ...he fucked up.
I think there is more in between. The freedom of choice is not the same as actual freedom, I sometimes hear that the Americans think that having more than 2 major parties would be a solution, but they couldn't be more wrong. We have 6 parties moving into our next German Parlament (Bundestag) and they all suck. Not sure how it is in down under.
Agree, its the same down here, but I was more referring to, if we go communist or some form of authoritarian government, we will all become best comrades the following day. Any future differing opinions after that, will earn a one way helicopter ride.
I know what you meant but I am in fact a lefty. no communist, no state-socialist and also no anarcho-communist. I am just not convinced that if we get rid of the state everything will be flowers and sunshine.
The state is a tool for elitists to control us, if the state is gone something else will fill that power vacuum and we should really think harder about what that should be.
Some sort of basic code that is implemented for all (to assure NAP ie) and the main political power being small cities and communities would be my solution. If those communities want to live in an communist utopia, capitalist utopia or anything else then that is fine. There should also be a law allowing 1-(wo)man -communities, aka hermits. People who can make their own rules, but also have to supply themselves.
Yes, I can't see how how the government can be completely dissolved, there needs to be something. I think we are largely in agreement (left or right)
This is how I see it too, people in that region can decide for themselves what they want.
So true, none of these discussions can be useful, without acknowledging the hidden power broker. I hate that people consider this "conspiracy theories", to me it is intellectually lazy to think that "elites" would not collude in their own interests. I think more people are aware these days though.
Interesting, I have never heard of this (beyond the idea of the sovereign person).
Essentially more thought needs to be put into what it is that will replace the current system. Bearing in mind that nothing can be done, whilst working within the current financial rule system.
Wow, you do actually understand very well where I am coming from. Not much to add. Following you now :D
Thanks, do you post ? I'll check your site out. Just be aware that sometimes I can be prone to frivolity from time to time. Laughter helps me keep sane.
Sure, I post and it tends to be a lot politics and philosophical stuff. Right now I am baffled by the msm supporting Dennis Rodman in his mission to bring peace to NK and Hillary being shamed by CNN, smells like something changed in the landscape.
And don't worry I love political comedy and talking controversial. I am known to be somewhat of a devils advocate, but you know, I will point out flaws that I see in an argumentation, not to expose you, but to make your arguments stronger and I would appreciate to have people do the same with my arguments. And a little banter is always welcome ;).
