Throw Out The Baby....

in #anarchism8 years ago (edited)

Lately in conversations, when making statements advocating anarchism, I have run into the counter argument from those who just can't let go of the security blanket of government that "we shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater".

When it's Rosemary's Baby, you damn well better.

Rosemary's Baby... I'm going to remember that the next time I have that conversation. :) Thanks for the chuckle.

I like using it as a comeback.... the look of shock on the other person's face when they realize that people actually think of their great god Government as something that evil is worth it.

It's a good point, and I'll remember this post next time someone comes up me with this time honored argument.

When people say this they are claiming that the good things can be kept separate from the stolen loot.

You can't throw separate the flour from the yeast after you've baked the bread
