RE: An Experiment in Anarchism

in Anarchism5 years ago

I specifically questioned the efficacy of political action. Instead of offering a rational argument, you resorted to insults. I am not telling you to die, I am asking you to reconsider one of your chosen courses of action to see whether it is a good use of your time and energy, or if it might even be counterproductive. You said you wanted to make government smaller and more local. First, is this rwalistic, and second, will it produce greater liberty? You brought it up. Defe d your position. If all you can do is build strawman arguments and spew insults, maybe that should tell you something about your position.

As it stands, we have some 24 decades of US dederal and state government growth, consistent and frequent vilatuons ognthe constitutions alleged to restrain them, rampant police state abuse, an uneducated electorate devoted to economic and political falsehoods, and a system of entrenched corporate and government bureaucracy devoted to political plunder and its justification.

We need to undermine this system. It can't be cured by participating in it. Democracy isn't inherently virtuous. Cancer can't be cured with cancer.

You said that we need to "Undermine this system" and I do not disagree and I never said that we should not and cannot undermine this system and I am trying to describe the path towards doing that same thing which you wrote there, I am on that same path, that same page, but the process is gradual in the attempt at getting more and more people onboard to take action and to be educated and to be interested. Keep in mind that everything is cancer. Now, communists disagree. Socialists believe that you can get rid of the cancer that you mentioned. But the cancer is in the heart of men.
