Hello steemians. I would like to start off by saying how eternally grateful I am for the opportunity to be here. This is a dream come true for me.

Oh hey, you're still reading this? Awesome. Keep scrolling for your chance to win 2 SBD.

This is my first official contest.

The basis for this contest is, I want to know why you are a voluntaryist.

A major aspect to voluntaryism is self ownership: everybody owns him or herself and is therefore responsible for the consequences of their own actions, whether they be good or bad. Voluntaryist individuals believe that no person or group has any legitimate claim, control over, or other restrictions on, the actions of others so long as the person's actions do not violate the rights of anyone else.

I am a voluntaryist. I am against the war on drugs, and all other government forms of control.

This is my post. Im not sure if Im doing this correcly by pasting my url here. Thank you.

Great! Thanks for your submission :) I have extensively researched the positives and negatives of the so-called "war on drugs" and I can tell you with 100% certainty. Prohibition does NOT work in any case whatsoever. The war on drugs is a war on freedom, and a war on you. Do you drink coffee or alcohol, take tylenol for headaches, smoke cigarettes, eat fast food, or drink commercial beverages like Coke or Pepsi? If you answered yes to any of these then you are a criminal and you should be thrown in jail for being a drug user. See my point? Everyone has the right to choose what they want to do to their own body. If you take that right away from people that does not make you a voluntaryist, it makes you a tyrannical dictator.

If you would like to know more about why the war on drugs is a complete waste of time, energy and resources.. Here is a good link to get you started. Namaste!

If you care about the future you are leaving for the children, I would recommend researching more about voluntaryism and the negative effects of prohibition.

Yes, I do care about the future for the children. I will read about the war on drugs. Thanks for the link. But I never thought about taking tylenol or eating fast foods as being a criminal act. What does Namaste mean?

The divinity within me recognizes the divinity in you. Basically. :)

I am an anarcho-capitalist and don't have the time to participate! Anyways the non-aggression principle (NAP!) and the concept of self ownership applied all across the world is the way to achieve peace! Governments work on repression/force and extortion/taxation so they would all immediately collapse, freedom brings prosperity! :D

Thank you for resteeming! :) I appreciate you taking the time to make a comment too. Hopefully someday the NAP will be a worldwide method.
