Anarchism

[Whateverist]

Just the once, but your campaigne contributions will be appreciated to futher my cause!
This arrangement should save you money on bullets and the economy of scale gained by centralizing road maintenence will allow for a beneficial use of taxpayer money. Also, people won't have to kill each other for the right to maintain the road.

I'd just like to suggest that we further streamline the process by eliminating the actual election and by just putting the office up for sale to the highest bidder.

OR, we could pretend to have an election and when the results don't line up with how people claim to have voted we can blame it on hanging chads.

And when is this everybody not trying to be dominant farmers going to happen, just before or after the Rapture?

He who controls the spice controls the universe!

If ever anarcho-capitalism rises to power I'll assemble a collective to institute democracy.

Well, in an anarchy, there's nothing to stop you from forming a government. Hm.

Well, not sharing a home/bed with him doesn't mean you're not living with him in lala land

After the anarchy/rapture it will be a new day alright. People will no longer be agitated by the interference of governments and therefore will be able to actualize their true, pure-as-driven-snow positive nature. What glory! And to think we actually live in these end-days of the old oppressive system. Think of it! In our life times everything will be transformed and made new. Hark everyone unto Jeffery's voice. Like a voice in the wilderness he is calling us to build a new golden city on the hill. Let us build a statue to him and give thanks for his gift.[/sarcasm]

I just watched to video, and most of the argument was sound as a conspiracy theory, except for two failed premises. First, taxation is used to fund public infrastructure.

The biggest hole, however, was that when he reached democracy he still called it enslavement. I mean, how do you conclude that? People are elected, there is no 'ruling class' that is secretly conspiring to manipulate everyone else. Now, it may be hard to get into politics if you are poor, but that does not mean that government is one big conspiracy. No to mention that it looked like all of those clips at the end were taken from the same movie. And then there was 'government controls the media'. As though no media outlet has ever been critical of the government. As if it doesn't say in the declaration of independence that if the people are being oppressed, they have a right to overthrow the government? Right of revolution
One more thing: the cow analogy is a total fail. If the farmers left the cows to their own devices, they would soon all die.
