RE: How I Became an Anarchist And Why You Should Too (AKA: We're All Born Anarchists)
...led to the slaughter by true anarchists. Those with no rulers, who follow no rules, and do whatever the hell they want with their exorbitant amounts of currency without showing regard for the consequences.
Those people are the exact opposite of anarchists. Anarchists believe in NO rulers (those people are acting as rulers), NO violence or coercion (those people got everything they have through violence & coercion), and the fact that EVERYONE is subject to morality (those people specifically train their slaves to believe that their lords are immune to morality)
America's founding fathers had it right.
Only a few of them. Most were still statists, almost all of them owned slaves, and the Constitution they ended up passing was complete crap compared to the Declaration of Independence (and to a lesser extent the articles of confederation)
Thanks for reading, and for a thoughtful comment. Blessings!
Thanks for the reply! It is greatly appreciated. But I must point out some facts...
Would you not say this is a reason we as animals cannot delve into the concept of true anarchy? It will always evolve into an oligarchy. A group of narcissists who feel they truly are superior will always try to rule over the many. It is a case that has repeated itself time and time again throughout human history. We can even see it today.
That is why we need laws to control such feudal tendencies in the minds of men. Hence why I said our founding fathers had it right. Them having founded the longest standing constitutional republic in history. Whose freedoms we still enjoy to this day, mind you. Even if it is to a much lesser extent than what was initially intended.
I will admit, there were quite a few tories in the bunch. Particularly Alexander Hamilton, who willfully brought the Rothschild bankers to our shores with open arms. Although, I must disagree about the slavery issue. Slavery was prevalent during those times. The founding fathers laid the groundwork for the Emancipation Proclamation and a great deal of them adamantly protested the act of slavery. But seeing as how the King was in on the slave trade, they were already forcefully implanted on our shores. Knowing all great civilizations in the past had been built by slave labor, they simply took advantage of it. Except most treated their slaves with respect and honor. As though they were their own family--or employees.
If you are still thinking under the false assumption that only a particular 'race' was induced into slavery, look up the Barbary Slave Trade from the 1500s-1800s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_slave_trade. Also known as the White Slave Trade. It will surely open your eyes to a different take on slavery that is never mentioned in schools or on TV.
On a final note, a great deal of slaves that were freed in America turned right back around and got themselves slaves. Not to mention the fact that slavery is still prevalent in Africa to this day. America, of course, being the main driving force behind the eradication of such barbaric practices from its lands.
I cannot quite wrap my head around this. The constitution they passed includes the Bill of Rights and has been the longest standing constitution in history. The Declaration of Independence was particularly just that: A declaration declaring their independence from the crown. The Articles of Confederation were good, yes, but they made it so the federal government had to go to the states for money, which they rarely paid in full. This would cause the currency printed by congress to go into insolvency and nearly bankrupt the country. Not to mention that all states were given the right to regulate their own foreign trade, which back then turned out to be a disaster. Seeing as how every one of them had incurred so much debt during the Revolutionary War and had a hard time keeping their accounts in order.
But still, it laid the foundation for the "crap" constitution we have today and still enjoy. Once again might I point out that it is the longest standing constitution in human history without which we would all be in a much worse state than we currently are. We most certainly wouldn't be talking on Steemit.
I must digress though. Sorry for the ranting. I just enjoy educating others. We all must unite in these trying times to ensure that truth is being spread. With all of us having been force-fed lies and propaganda our entire lives, it will take a miracle to undo all of the brainwashing the elitist communist scum have implanted into our minds.
I sincerely thank you for your time and wish you the best of days!
It has also NOT existed in many periods and places, and nothing about the past is pre-determining about the current or present, especially since we are in the ONLY time that things like mass communication, 3D printing, etc. exist. It's like saying that because a young child has never walked, that somehow means it will never be able to walk.
You are falling into the standard statist fallacy. If humans are inherently bad and need to be controlled, then there CANNOT possibly be the mechanisms of government, because those bad actors will always take control of those systems. If humans are inherently good, then there is simply no reason to ever create those systems.
As soon as you refer to the mythology of the "founding fathers", we've left honest discussion and moved into religious beliefs. The "founding fathers" were mostly complete statists, and had no interest in creating more freedom, simply in replacing the king with themselves.
My comment about them owning slaves had nothing to do with the global slave trade, and that is unrelated to this conversation.
It was also fraudulently passed to allow them to take control of the continent because the Articles of Confederation did not allow for taxation, standing military, etc.
Because these kinds of tools never existed before, reinforcing my point that we have no lack of something in the past means that we can't accomplish that thing now or in the future.
