RE: So, you're an anarchist?

in #philosophy7 years ago

That is absolutely not true, because the state, by its very existence and every deed, is commiting crimes against everyone it extorts, kidnaps, bombs, etc.

The decrease is just because more and more of the crimes being committed, are made "legal" by the state, as it obviously isn't going to punish itself.

Sort:  

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.

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.

True the Federal Government is a corporation

Yep

exerting force over its shareholders

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?

but it's still the best system in the world

I disagree, as we've been over quite a few times.

needs to be unrigged not destroyed in favor of an utopian fantasy

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.

Again human nature

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.

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.

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.
