Is STEEMIT a functioning ANCAPISTAN? STEEMCAPISTAN?? Let's talk a bit about Anarchy!

From what I’ve come to understand about Steemit and its users, this is an enlightened and free, decentralized community. Just from the way that I’ve stumbled upon this platform, I am postulating that many others have come across Steemit from an acute awareness of whats going on in the world with a solution-oriented attitude.

I’m not just blowing hot air up your butts either. If you just visit the home page and take a look at the trending posts. Surely, you will see a trend that is completely unlike other social media platforms like Facebook or IG. I could could get lost for hours in the sheer amount of AMAZING and valuable user-created content and articles that are found here!

Steemians (Steemites, Steemers, Steemboat Willy’s (?) etc. etc.) are generally seekers of knowledge and have initiative to share and add their own spice to the pot! You guys already know the deal, we get rewarded more handsomely as we become known for producing quality content! With this meaningful incentive system (unlike meaningless “likes” or “hearts” on other platforms,) good information and REAL VALUE is a hot commodity. Self-Interest is part of what makes this community of individuals excellent. People know that they will be rewarded for their efforts in DOING, CREATING and SHARING THEIR BEST!

I think we can learn from history (if not from ourselves) that economies do better when the opportunities to advance in a free market, is left alone to blossom naturally! What many statists refuse to admit is that we produce value out of the self interest (ahhh dirty word lol) to enrich our lives BY enriching the lives of others! This is a WIN-WIN, providing there exits no platform of control (government) that can be exploited by bad people. True capitalism is the free exchange of ideas, products, goods and services without any coercion. We are all free and sovereign people on this planet that wish to transact with each other in a peaceful and harmonies way. No one can legitimately force another to purchase a product. It must be voluntary.

Folks, capitalism has been completely misconstrued and misunderstood by the general public, especially by the millennial (MY) generation. There are communist governments but by definition, there can never exist a “capitalist-government” as many erroneously ascribe to the US. What takes place here is the hell-spawn of an unholy union between capitalism and government, Corporate Cronyism. This is what develops when crooked, elitist capitalists (corporatists) have a government platform that they can buy influence from for their own interests (Note: This cluster-#$@$ of a scenario is in fact a tenet of Fascism, not true free-market capitalism!) As we explored previously, capitalism is comprised of individuals and businesses that voluntarily exchange goods and services for profits with each other. It's voluntary! The State is ALWAYS a monopoly on force which coerces its citizens to purchase its products and services at the gunpoint and under threat of imprisonment.

Governments are the antithesis of capitalism.

The next time you see a leftist-statist type going on about the “evils of capitalism,” I challenge you to question their understanding of what capitalism actually is. Be respectful and simply ask them question that will make their paradigm fall to pieces because it is based around fallacy. Freedom means that people have liberty to congregate and exchange the products of their labor with one another without being restricted, regulated or controlled by a governmental body. Simple logic will be lost on most, but if we can help educate (even with a conversion rate of 1/10 statists) about what true liberty is, than we have done our duty.

Consider this my fellow sovereigns…

If you are in the possession of knowledge that can help liberate humanity in the aggregate, then that places YOU in a position of Moral Obligation to spread the truth and dispel mis-info, dis-info, BS and just pure nonsense! In and age of apathy and ignorance, your brains and courage are needed more than ever to fight this battle!

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts whether you agree with me or not! All are welcome as long as we keep this respectful!

"Liberty means refusing to allow some men to use the state to compel other men to serve their interests or opinion."

Have a powerful day my sisters and brethren!
