well im not an anarchist, and this is where I agree with you. The only way anarchism can work is an educated mass of people who do not recognize the authority of the state. biologically and socially, people have never been in an anarchist society, so how can we expect people to like the idea?

in a truly free market, that healthcare would be free or much cheaper. Doctors, before HMO's and government-run healthcare, would provide free care for the poor. If all government subsidies ended, do you think people would suddenly want to help these people?

You are saying that you should hold people at gunpoint to pay for your healthcare? That is wrong.

that might make you understand! if you have time, i would recommend it (of course, cause i wrote it)! xD

Taxation is theft. It does not matter where the money goes (i recognize that it is theft, but I believe it is necessary). Taxation is slavery.

You are saying that government needs to be larger and control our lives because there are more of us? That isn't freedom or for the people- that is against them. Government for the great majority of things it does is inefficient, overbearing, or ineffective. The free market can provide them all cheaper and better without force, but with voluntary trade.

Anarchy has never been tried. It was tried in Ireland in the 1000's and it worked. I need to do more research on it tho. Other than that case, true anarchy has never been tried on a large scale (barring Quakers and such). Anarchy can't work because of curved power lines. Anarchy can only work when the people no longer find the need to be ruled and have a flat power line. I can send you a link describing the Powerline theory in more detail if you want!

The government interference abandons the poor. Welfare hurts them more than it helps them, which is really unfortunate. In a true free market (where the government is not making the rich richer through subsides, etc), the corporations can never form and the Fed can't print money to devalue the poor's money. The lack of government influence is not abandoning the poor, but actually helping them, or preventing them from being poor in the first place.

Did you read my essay yet? I forgot two statistics in there that I want to add.

Not to mention taxation is theft on a mass scale, so "not abandoning the poor" requires violence.

Just because the government is small does not mean it will collapse. It means the system is flawed because it must grow larger. The US is an example. We started as a Minarchy (more or less), and it has grown into this large government where it interferes with the economy and personal lives.

there. Jaromir is a Putin-worshipper.

I think anarchy could work if society began that way. But after hundreds of years of rules, I do not know how well it could really work. And it depends on the kind of anarchy...

Basically the only government provided services are military protection, courts, and police. Its only role is to protect the rights of the citizens and nothing else. There is extremely minimal taxation and the majority of the power is decentralized.

Thanks! I may be doing it tonight or tomorrow night, so yea. AnCaps identify themselves as Voluntaryists much of the time because people sort of discredit them as soon as they hear the "anarchy" part.

Im a Minarchist now, and he will be trying to convert me lol. Im certainly open to the idea; I just worry about the practical applications. Although by not being AnCap, Im a huge hypocrite lol (in regards to my faith as a Christian and my secular philosophy).

You think it's a case of natural selection choosing the tasmanian devils to go extinct? How is Tasmania going to fare without its primary predator, since another species, the tasmanian tiger, also went extinct despite claims of seeing a live one in recent years?

I only know Putin. Does that count?

I hear your For All Have Sinned character is also Russian, and from Saint Petersburg too lol.

actually doesn't know Russian lol

The reason behind it is that there's a rare incurable cancer that's killing off the species, including the healthy ones that were released back into the wild, in Tasmania. They plan a trial reintroduction into the mainland of Australia, which was the species original homeland before being wiped out a long time ago. This video goes into full detail on how the reintroduction would work, and it has been compared to how the environment in Yellowstone drastically changed for the better when wolves were reintroduced into that area.

So my political views are changing a bit. I will actually be on a call with a political youtuber and I believe he will most likely be recording. I am putting together a list of questions to ask him. Here is his channel:

Ill be asking him questions about Anarcho-Capitalism. if you have any questions, can you give them to me? I might put it in there. Ill be focusing on subjects like courts, police, military, applications of the N.A.P (non-aggression principle), and the Powerline theory. Basically how these things will work in a world without the government.

Did you hear anything about conservationists wanting to reintroduce Tasmanian Devils into Australia's mainland?

did i get australian day right? I know some australian people...

being picky isn't good!! D:

i almost forgot! HAPPY AUSTRALIAN DAY!

Thanks! Ill check it out sometime.

My club actually does ceramics as a way to raise money. We do it through the school (we got permission). But im the guy running it, so I dont get to participate as much. But I guess it can still count as a hobby.

I posted my game. :3 Slight name change, but I guess that's OK?

RPing sounds fun, but I have never done it. Isn't there a sub forum for that? Maybe when I have more time I might join. I want to start playing competitive pokemon again; I haven't played in a while.

Reading, video games, anime (sitting on my butt is my hobby), and thats it. If I had a way to to ceramics, then that would be one. Does reading political stuff count? So yea, Im not interesting either.

cute~

awesome, thanks (: (: (:
