But I respect someone who tries to change things from within, like Merkel :P
The risk of this also especially when you GIVE IN to certain things that is over time if you GIVE IN enough you don't actually change the system. The system changes you.
The only solution I see right now is to destroy the whole damn way we do government and build it new according to the technology of 2017. In example 100% transparency
I describe myself in my profile as an Anarcho-Capitalist. There are a number of us here. In fact the steem blockchain and steemit concept were built by two of them. We used to write a lot of posts on the topic here, and they likely will occur again.
We are talking about the classic meaning of the word "anarchy" which simply means NO RULERS.
I've written articles about the difference between a LEADER and a RULER. A leader is someone you can choose to follow or not follow. It can also be short term and they kind of occur naturally. They cannot force you to do anything. A RULER is someone who can make rules up for other people and FORCE them upon us.
I don't believe I have the right to tell you or anyone else how to live your life. I also believe you and any number of people have a right to tell me how to live mine.
The exception is if someone, or their property are being harmed by the actions of another.
The Capitalism side is not the negative connotation Capitalism. It is simply free market with NO government really existing.
Everyone would do things via voluntary contracts, and yes we could use technology to make that happen which is where Ethereum and the soon to be realized EOS come into play.
You and I could agree to contracts on ANYTHING we agree to but they could ONLY impact those of us involved in and agreeing to the contract. We could not force other people into a contract against their will.
We also believe in the Non-Aggression Principle. We will not attack others. We will DEFEND ourselves and perhaps others, but we will not attack.
That is where I would like to see the WORLD GOING TOWARDS. I do not think it is ready for that quite yet. It can't happen over night, as most of the population has no sense of self-responsibility thus why they keep pushing the responsibility onto government. For a society to work we each need to be responsible for our choices and the consequences of our choices.
There is a lot that would need to happen before the world could be that way, and I do not necessarily think it could happen during my lifetime. Yet, it is ultimately where I would like to see things go.
No Government, just voluntary contracts.
I am very arrogant towards anarchism in general. I respect you very much, though. So I will have a deeper look into Anarcho-Capitalism, before I debate out of my ***.
Oh and I have another piece ready to post, only have to add the pictures, it's a lot more optimistic "Steemit is like an episode of the Simpsons"
And keep in mind I did say I don't think Anarcho-Capitalism would work today if we suddenly switched to it. I believe it would fail miserably.
I believe it is a great idea and it is one that hasn't been tried on a large scale. Yet I also believe we as people need to change a lot and get some new tech before it would be realistic to attempt it.
"The risk of this also especially when you GIVE IN to certain things that is over time if you GIVE IN enough you don't actually change the system. The system changes you."
Merkel polished the christian democrats.Before her they were pretty similiar to your republican pro-lifers. Anti gay marriage, pro nuclear energy, hard on drugs all the good stuff.
She got rid or got softer on a lot of those things.
