RE: Steemit Zombies are coming! A protest against the poor distribution of wealth at steemit!

What do you think about the balance of powers as seen in the United States, originally in the intent that the people are to bear arms and to me a militia as a last result against their own government if the government were to ever become too big like a tyranny? How else do we balance out powers? Can cryptocurrencies and blockchain systems also help or maybe help in better ways in some countries or in many countries?

That’s a huge topic of conversation. I’m not a big fan of guns, but if those with power don’t disarm themselves I don’t see how they can fairly ask the population to do the same.

A book related to this topic of guns & government is that George Orwell book, "Nineteen Eighty Four." And the other book that helps people see things is Animal Farm.
