RE: Statist vs. Anarchist @Larken Rose's Candles in the Dark Seminar

in #anarchapulco7 years ago

Candles in the dark is a huge step in the right direction. It's like moving beyond Anarchist, to honorable and empowered.

Humanity receives the experiences needed for the purposes of growth. People are not merely innocent victims of Government. People were greedy, so they got Central Banks. People were controlling, so they got Government. People were violent, so they got war. People lie and deceive, so they got CNN and FOX. Not the other way.

To move from Statism to Anarchism is a step in the right direction, but there are more steps. Hierarchy exists and is natural. Many Anarchists hunt. Doesn't the Dear have a right to life? Did the Anarchist care about Dear Rights? All souls may be cosmically equal, but here on Earth there is hierarchy, and to dismiss it is ignorance. We're not equal to those who own and control the Governments and Armies, no more than Gazelles are equal to Lions.

The argument for or against Government as the central focus of a movement, is like boxing the wind. Fix the people of their Self-Indulgent, Petty, Frivalous, Arrogant nature, and Naughty Governments will disappear all on their own. Change the focus to emotional well-being and make the topic of Government a minor chapter.

It's good to move beyond 'The Tiny Dot' to 'Candles in the Dark'.

IMHO
