RE: Is @dantheman Right about Changing the World? - Steem Smart Podcast Ep. 9b
Why is it the only way?
There is no point to arguing because having perfect opinions is useless until/unless you do something with them.
Therefore, the truly useful thing to do is go out and build the world or society you want.

it is futile to try and argue the masses away from statism
You seem to have contradicted yourself.
an economic meltdown is the one thing that can turn things around
Do you think the powers that be won't devalue the currency, turn around and start all over again?
It is the only way because statism is an illusion in peoples heads, it does not exist in the real world. That is where it has to change. The effects of their beliefs, the buildings, the armies, the guns, the courts etc... are all just symptoms. Trying to "remove" them or fight them or what ever you wanna call it, will only make "them" want more government, meaning more brainwashing and more "symptoms" (force). But even though arguing morally and or rationally against statism, does not mean that it can be done. If people do not want to be changed mentally, that is it then. I believe that the vast majority is beyond any moral argument or argument from rationality, so there is no other choices left except an economic catastrophe that either brings the change towards free association of governance or a new dark ages.
Actually i do not care what some "power that is" would want to do. I am only interested in what is true and what is moral. Second guessing psychopaths and figuring out a pseudo state entity to counter that is just as much statism as what we have now
