RE: So, you're an anarchist?
Its legal by Standards of International Law.
I wrote this about Jurisdiction and Why we need it; if we're going to continue to claim title to our lands and homes in the Americas.
https://steemit.com/anarchy/@adconner/jurisdiction-where-does-it-come-from
International = between nations/states... Just because multiple organized crime groups agree on something doesn't change what it is.
I don't believe that humans can own land, and certainly no human in the lands claimed to be owned by the United States actually owns their land or homes, as all they have to do is stop paying extortion fees and they will promptly lose that land/home.
It depends on what level of "Ownership" you are referring to.
Ownership is a fictional concept but we give it power though fealty to the ficticious law that creates the concept and regulations of any limits on it.
Sovereign Ownership exists only in the mind of the sovereign and his Army.
Fee Simple ownership only exists within the law created by the sovereign.
Jurisdiction is "owned" by the US Corporation based on the Right of Conquest recognized by international law and it's the basis for Title Insurance Companies to issue policies insuring fee simple title. (No one insures Sovereign Title. That's is what the military is for.)
ANd it doesn't matter what you believe unless you have an Army to impose it or can convince enough of the right and popular people to agree with you.
That's only true if you're trying to force others to live your life, which is ridiculous, and wrong.
True the Federal Government is a corporation exerting force over its shareholders and the shareholder game has become rigged but it's still the best system in the world that needs to be unrigged not destroyed in favor of an utopian fantasy. Again human nature doesn't understand right and wrong outside of the use of force to keep the trash in-line.
Yep
Citizens are not considered shareholders, but property of the corporation, assets. How else would the corporation be able to take out loans from the Federal Reserve, using those humans (and their expected "tax revenue") as collateral?
I disagree, as we've been over quite a few times.
Believing that you can have a system where some have the right to use force & coercion against others, and it won't become completely corrupt & rigged, is the utopian fantasy.
Is adaption. Nothing more, nothing less.
1 Citizen = 1 vote for each of the board of directors in your jurisdiction where you reside. That's the role of the share holder and depending on who you are and how old you are it even pays dividends.
I'll agree Congress is out of balance with the special interests having undue influence over that board, but here is how that can be fixed. By getting back to constitutional morals.

....aaaand force is necessary to keep the trash in line and said trash is the reason we cannot have nice things like direct democracy or even utopia. Ijs.
The fundamental flaw in a belief in the need for hierarchy & violent control:
Either humans are all inherently good, in which case there is no need for hierarchical control systems...
or
Some small part of humanity is not inherently good, in which case there cannot be a system of hierarchical control, because those bad actors (trash in your words), will always be the only ones with a drive to move to the top of it.
There are many types of nefarious forces but mostly unintentional. Some force their way to the top others float up there. Everyone is out for their own interest - no one is truly altruistic and most have no idea what that even means even if they have a dictionary. All of humanity is inherently selfish not certain parts or factions or political groups.
There are three types of people in this world. None of which are altruistic. The Bourgeois, Upstarts and Laborers.
An Upstart is anyone who, through his own energy works his way up from his previous social position to a higher one. The relentless struggle to do so kills all pity or empathy. One's own painful scramble for existence suffocates the feeling of sympathy for the misery of those left behind.
The Bourgeois are not upstarts. They have been born of privilege and as such are endowed with blinders from the true nature of poverty and its uncertainty. These blinders also repel any opinions that remind them or show them their privilege. Those who somehow recognize through the blinders the struggles of the laborer often claim to be enlightened and empathetic but are unable to truly understand the plight of the laborer and so it is pointless to do so here. It must be experienced like a butterfly escaping its cocoon.
There it remains However, A description as to why the American Bourgeois and the American Upstarts fight to keep a system that allows the top 1% of the Bourgeois to control everything and not pay their fair share of taxes to the government or good salaries directly to their Laborers thus selfishly preventing an economically healthy and sustainable velocity of money.
Make no mistake this is not an advocacy for the direct redistribution of wealth as we see being given to the parasites begging for free housing , free food, and even free money, etc. which should only exist on a temporary basis to avoid addiction and being enslaved by choice. Failing a prescribed period of assistance, those people must, afterwards, gain assistance from Family or Friends or other Charity and if rejected by them, then allowed to perish of natural causes.
Maintaining a sustainable velocity of money must also be by choice for the High Capitalist; giving a choice to the taxpayer, to pay the government a high percentage of his profit income or reinvest it in his own business for "re-tooling" type upgrades with immediate 100% deductibility and zero depreciation later and/or pay a higher percentage of his profits to his laborers instead, being more deserving of his grace than those the officials would choose, at least in his eyes.
Thus causing the high capitalists to self manage though tax policy encouraging the laborers to become upstarts and eventually financially independent; all the while the government is there maintaining personal freedoms to speak, to travel, to assemble, and to own property, encouraging people to create new businesses and grow the old ones rather than to retire early and live off their usurious market returns.
What we have today is a system whereby the middle class supports the parasitic consumer class and the medically addicted in a vicious cycle that barely affects the Bourgeois as designed by the monied special interests and implemented by our Brainwashed educational systems and over paid charismatic media types; by virtue of the fact that we don't have real representation levels in congress.

I'll agree what we have today is a adaptation of previous experiments away from Monarchies into the realm of republican democracy. It's not right or wrong or bad or good; it's what we have being the result of the revolutionary war and the civil war. If you don't like it change it but don't stretch your mandate to destroy the progress society has made in favor an unsustainable agenda.
Evolution... which is a continual thing. You're proving my point with this statement, because if we've adapted away from HIGHLY centralized (1 person often) to less highly centralized (100s/1000s of people), then it follows that the next step would be even more decentralization.
Yes, to a point; but appeals need to be available also to a point. Local communities need a certain level of autonomy but not to the point that black people have to ride at the back of the bus when in a specific community. As an example....
As I've said repeatedly. Yours is a utopian idea. We should always strive for it. But don't be niave about the Vikings have disappeared. They haven't.

Check out my new diatribe on Conquest
https://steemit.com/anarchy/@adconner/freedom-vs-conquest
Voluntaryism vs conquest. A Voluntary society concept is noble and is what we need to be teaching in schools but understanding that there are those who would conquer us and take what little freedom and property we've earned and accumulated as regular people, up to this point in human history, is required.
It also doesn't matter if you believe people can own property or not or if I believe that we can. It matters how the current paradigm is working and your ability to change it; if you so desire.
And your ability to change it is only limited by your belief/understanding in other possibilities, and willingness to move towards them.
Again, you'd have to change human nature to get away from having a State govern our interactions.
