RE: My response to Larken Rose and Adam Kokesh after years of watching them and seeing their Anarchast Debate...

The socialist mistake is its modus operandi. @dwinblood is right, don't make the mistake if you don't want what it'll engender. And if you do want that, to hell with you!

In the current state of things, I think, if you're going to wait for a critical mass to wake up and be mentally prepared for the new world you want to begin, the "solution" or whatever you call it, will be long in coming. On the other hand, revolutionary insurrection is possible in the near future, which makes it seem attractively expedient. That, however, is the mistake.

Patience is a virtue for a reason. The "solution" will only be genuine if it is built to endure and not degenerate, that is, is built on slow, accumulative bedrock development - requiring an industrious patience on the part of you who truly want it.

Yes I think we should set it as a goal. Yet we should view it as a long term goal and think about how each of us can help us get there.

It's said talk is just air and won't lead to anywhere like material action does. That's wrong though. Speech and deed are symbiotic. The power of language should not be underestimated. While we talk here on @steemit we are giving rise to and actually instantiating a material change in the hearts and behaviors of people, which the witnesses and the whole physical backdrop of the Steemit community grow to buttress. I give my breath (in this case my typing) to the world I want.
