Anarchy in Spain -- it is working and it is beautiful! (or, The popular but completely unnecessary mythology of the State)

in #anarchism8 years ago (edited)

Remove the government and the people prosper. The mythology of the necessity of a centralized all-powerful and mandatory State, outside the natural governance of a person's community -- i.e. family and local society -- is just that -- a mythology. This mythology is designed to solely benefit the elitist leech class and their cronies, who prosper by mutilating the market and raping and pillaging the wealth of a society (through a combination of debt-fueled spending, constant war and simultaneous debasement of the currency).

Once there is a large-scale recognition of this mythology for what it is, society will be ready to simply evacuate the State. Future generations will look back at the era of the State as a final stage in the primitive dark-age pre-history of the evolution of the idea of man and society.

There is no free market without anarchism.

"""With neither major party able to secure a majority of seats in the national legislature and the two parties unable to agree on a coalition government, for the last 10 months Spain has had a do-nothing caretaker government for the first time in its history. While basic government services continue, no new legislation is being proposed, foreign policy is stuck in place, and many infrastructure and other government projects are frozen. In contrast to dire predictions of chaos, everything is proceeding smoothly and some Spaniards are learning a valuable lesson about the resilience of society when left to its own (voluntary) devices.

"""For the past 288 days, Spain has plodded along without an elected national government. For some Spaniards, this is a wonderful thing.

“No government, no thieves,” said Félix Pastor, a language teacher who, like many voters, is fed up with the corruption and scandals that tarnished the two previous governing parties.

Mr. Pastor, a wiry, animated 59-year-old, said Spain could last without a government “until hell freezes over” because politicians were in no position to do more harm."""

"""Spain hasn't had an elected national government for almost a year, and many of its residents are OK with that.

"[We] would be just fine if we got rid of most of the politicians and three-fourths of government employees," Rafael Navarro, of Madrid, told The New York Times,
as he, like others the newspaper interviewed, believe that it's better to have too little government than too much."""

"""Spain has emerged as Europe’s unlikely economic star, boasting a growth rate that’s twice the regional average. But you won’t find anyone from the Spanish government taking a bow.

That’s because there is no Spanish governmen...

[Spaniards] are learning to live without a government — and they seem to like it just fine. Only 2.3 percent of respondents in a July poll by Spain's Center for Sociological Investigations considered the lack of government the country's major problem.

Even more surprising, that number has been getting smaller as people get more accustomed to life in political limbo, the survey found. “We’ve done very well without a government, or better put, with an interim, decaffeinated government,” economist Gabriel Calzada wrote in a column in the business daily Expansion.

"""The summer is coming to an end, but the Spanish economy is still basking in the sun.
New data shows Spain's economy has been growing at an annual rate of more than 3% for the last 15 months.
This marks a sustained and stunning comeback for a country that was brought to its knees four years ago when Spanish banks had to be bailed out following a big housing market collapse."""
