RE: Voting For Anarchy?

in #anarchy7 years ago

Sorry for the late response. I'm new to Steemit and did not see your reply.

You originally said people would want to know the outcome of a society that undergoes some type of anarchy. People would want to know:

How society would function. How roads will be built, how prisons would be maintained etc

Realistically, yes, most people would want to know that. Some people are less concerned with the quality of roads than with abiding by certain moral principles, like not initiating aggression against them by taking their money in terms of a tax. Larken might not care if some roads fell into disrepair or if some poor people go no welfare check because he is more concerned with underlying principles.

As for how such a change might happen, I do not follow Larken's suggestion of all out war. I suspect people who hear a message of anarchy or voluntaryism would first cut out social welfare and regulations. Where it all ends, I have no idea.

Sort:  

And while I feel I'm an anarchist (more like an agorist), that is MY biggest issue... how to support people who can't work, or can't work full time (like me).

Not that the gov't actually GIVES money to people in need because their formula for giving money to people is IDIOTIC, what they give to people is so little that there's NO WAY to live off of just over $1,100/month. You'd have to make money some other way to even pay the bills, let along have ANY kind of life that is normal.

There are MANY homeless people who can't even qualify for money because one person in the family makes a measly $16-18/hr. which is NOT enough to pay for 2 adults & a baby, PLUS pay child or spousal support.

I found out the fucking gov't looks at his GROSS income, NOT his NET.

Like I said, they are either stupid, or they do this on purpose so they don't have to pay out. I believe it's the latter.

Myself I have health issues & can't work full time because I don't have enough energy. Whenever I try to work 40 hours, I'm either making too little or I burn myself out.

Many seniors can't work because they are ill.

While I'm ALL for freedom, these to me are the BIGGEST issues & SHOULD be discussed, but every time I bring it up to anarchists they JUST ignore me like little children.

And I don't give a SHIT about the roads LOL who cares about fucking roads. How we can support ourselves is WAY more important than roads.

As it is, in the US most of the roads are in a total state of disrepair & there IS a gov't right now.

I really don't believe that anarchists are serious about freedom.

I've reached out to a few over the last 3 years & not one of them has ever written me back or wanted to have a SERIOUS discussion about this.

ALL talk & no action.
