RE: The Case Against Political Voting
I'd like to suggest that when a baby is born in almost any nation State, the state provides the baby with a corporate person (or doppelganger) that it owns, and has dominion over. The baby John Paul Smith, gets a birth certificate that says JOHN PAUL SMITH. It's not a proper name, nor is it a proper noun. All commercial transactions that JOHN engages in the future will have a name in all uppercase. Whether it be the cable company or transaction with credit cards or government itself. The first problem for an anarchist is comprehending the nature of her/his involvement in commerce and who owns his/her corporate vessel. When we play monopoly we identify with a Shoe, or a car, or a dog, or an iron. When we play life we identify with a corporation that is owned and created by government. If we think we are that thing, and the government knows it owns that thing the government will always be our master. I'd like to posit when a mother registers her child at birth she does not realize the ramifications of what she is doing. She's just doing it because it's the next thing to do....
