RE: Fearing Freedom and Keeping Others in Chains [DTube + Text]
Anarchism is a form of government. Government isn't STATISM. Self Rule, consent of the governed, those aren't reactionary fears, but simple principles. Freedom of association is also government. Government isn't tyranny, look at Iceland or numerous local governments that don't overstep their limits, they don't put up with free market bullying, or fraud.
Self Governance is never discussed in a discourse about Real Freedom. People act as if they've discovered the greatest wisdom: anarchy, and close their eyes tightly when faced with the conundrum that the reason for government is self rule, a morally and logical response based on voluntary interactions and self rule, with enforcement of laws for that end, and to invalidate such a system it needs to have an argument that is focused on either the right to form society or on the implementation(or lack thereof).
When large swatting accusations of theft or coercion are made against Government, with ignorance of the very principle and premise of government and simply based on the iteration of: in the United States-absence of a functional government and in British Empire-treasonous monarchs then people falsely believe it's government itself to blame, but don't you think upon knowing the difference that you ought at least attack the iteration of "government" and do so without room for interpretation, but cold hard facts?
The premise of governments everywhere stands by the right of consent: what one don't resist will persist and with their silent acquiesce approve, and in other cases government is there to Secure Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and here, real freedom is creating an unassailable position of truth, facts, and logic, which ought to be exactly how self governance leads to "statists".
No anarchist worth their salt (Lysander lol) is gonna break down why and how a republic is ultimately coercion and Theft without any bystanders such as myself asking if you can demonstrate that, why aren't the juries assembling to flush the crap out? Consent.
