RE: How The Silk Road TERRIFIED The Global Establishment - The Free Ross Campaign with Lyn Ulbricht
That is not really a valid argument though is it, it doesn't matter what damage Alcohol and Tobacco do (in this context) as they are legal, please don't paint this guy as some innocent web master doing no wrong, he knew what he was getting into and it is illegal. But I repeat, the punishment is way over the top for the crime. The corrupt police officers should have been given longer prison terms.
Two people, one selling one buying. What right has a government to get in the way of a transaction between two consenting adults?.
One word Tax and also if it is legal or not. Like it or not we live in a society that is governed by laws, the alternative is anarchy. Neither system is perfect but this is what we have, governments will not release this power lightly and who can blame them. I think the Ross Ulbrict argument given in the video is pretty weak in that he was just creating a marketplace for people to transact, why put it on the dark web then? We need to make governments more accountable for their actions and remove corruption, if block chain technology can do this then great. But please don't create havens for criminal activity, nobody should want that and no one should profit from doing it. None of the money Ross Ulbrict earned would have had tax taken and therefore he would not be contributing to society.
Please, not the tax argument. If the products were not classed as illegal, a tax would have been paid.
Laws were made to be broken, silly laws should always be broken. Victimless crime should never be prosecuted.
You have just shown that Ross Ulbrict knew he was acting illegally for his own gain by stating a tax would have been paid if they were not illegal. OK so if we don't have a government that collects tax and provides all of those services, people like Ross Ulbrict would donate their money to have services provided, yeah right I can see that happenening. No please not the victimless crime argument that doesn't hold water and laws are made to be challenged not broken.
Silly laws should be smashed and most laws are silly. If you want to learn about how well we would be without government and how well things would run, discover Larken Rose.
I have avoided government for most of my life and for the last 15 years totally. Government and I came to an understanding, it does nothing for me and I do nothing for it. Works perfectly.
Where I come from we do not have government any longer as it proved to not work and always ended in total corruption, you guys will learn the same that government is an unnecessary evil.
Anarchy has gotten a bad name. Research is required to discover what true anarchy is all about. A good place to start is The Anarchast by Jeff Berwick and discover Larkin Rose.
History has shown making drugs Illegal is nonsense, does not work. When you research the drugs business worldwide the results are amazing.
The"WAR ON DRUGS is actually a game and when you follow the money it leads back to the CIA who is now in charge of the worlds poppy fields and cocoa plants.
Very soon all governments around the world will decide Cannabis is now legal after 70 years of telling us it's evil.
I agree, but it still needs tackling somehow.
The ONLY way to "Tackle it" is to legalise all drugs or at least decriminalise like Portugal. A small % of people will always be drug addicts like myself, others are gamblers, alcoholics, smokers etc.
Governments waste billions of tax payers money, (Trillions worldwide) fighting the war on drugs when everyone knows the biggest drug dealers on the planet are a government agency called the CIA.
It's all a game but the rules of the game are beginning to change. If we stopped playing at fighting the war we could have enough money to have every addict in a 5* treatment centre for any addict that wanted to quit. I don't want to quit, I'm happy being a professional drug addict.
