RE: Interview with Sterlin Lujan: Being an Anarchist, Cryptocurrency and Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Yeah, the idea of leaving people alone and not trying to control them is such a horrible concept, huh? All those other people are not as good as you, so you think it's okay to have them controlled. I get it. You're afraid and a control freak. Look at any large public gathering like a parade, a circus, etc. All those people are together, being peaceful, and interacting voluntarily.

Government doesn't make that possible. Private services do instead. Government doesn't make for a peaceful world. People providing other people their needs does instead. Brazil has a system that prevents regular people from defending themselves with deadly weapons. The last I knew in that place, you had to be a cop or a criminal to have a gun. That never works in favor of peace.

Worse, you're showing your ignorance regarding anarchism. It isn't the lawless, black hoodie, private property destroying image the MSM has programmed you to believe it is. No, it is governance without government and rules without rulers. That is possible and is the norm. People do not need to be ruled to be orderly. Most people are not predators.

Create a system however, and the predators will take it over and abuse it.

Sort:  

Although I surprisingly agree with some of your points. I still feel you vastly over estimate peoples ability to "govern without government" as you say.

We will see.

I just know those old awful christian neighborhoods, where it was safe to go out anytime and people were genuinley repectful and cared for one another had to go!

Super glad we have some smart folks like you to usher in this new age.
