RE: Civil war in America is coming!!!

in #steemit6 years ago

I am going to use Molyneux's 'makers' and 'takers' as the supposed two sides.
The thing is, the 'takers' lose. Even if they win, they lose.

When those pulling the cart of society stop, there is nothing those in the cart can do.

If the 'makers' actually wanted to rid the world of all those neo-liberals, it would be easy to just let them all starve. They are all clustered in big cities that require trucks of food a day. They have a very tenuous life line.

Individual liberty isn't going to happen. It failed.
But also, every socialist experiment has failed.

What is going to come about is actual group functionality being implemented.
But, this will probably be after all the repressed anger is unleashed in a civil war, or some other expression.

Sort:  

Individual liberty isn't going to happen? Speak for yourself. I don't need to be ruled and won't be if I have anything to do with it. You're a controller, and I am not. Thanks for clarifying your position.

Sorry, you are on this thing called earth. All of your thoughts help create the reality that we experience. Which means, everyone is affecting everyone.

So, you do not get to be an individual. You are stuck here with the rest of us.
And so, your (and my) liberty gets curtailed by living in society.
We don't go around killing people.
We don't go around hurting people.
We stay out of each other's houses unless invited.
We all drive on the same side of the road.

Individual liberty has to be balanced with societal responsibility.
