Quote:Ad hominem attcks are stupid.I disagree. Ad homs are fun and exciting. They make me laugh most of the time.
Quote:Other than that I agree with Moros here. The reverend has made many posts which made loads of sense to me. This wasn't one of those.Someone agrees with me? YIKES! I must be doing something wrong..LOL.
As far as Anarchy, Im not near as good arguing that topic as I am on the subject of UFO's and electricity. Noam Chomsky and Goldman are much better at arguing syndicalism than I. I really need to brush up on my reading on it more indepth.
Quote:Rev, perhaps it is your line of work (are really a reverend?),Yes, I am a state certified Reverend... of sexy badass beer-bonging beautitude! LOL, Im an atheist dude.
Quote: but you have much more faith in your fellow man than I do.Faith in my fellow man? Fuck no. Im a pessimist believe it or not. I just flat out feel that capitalism supports many negative aspects of humanity, and those aspects would be far lessened without the concept of profit....thats all I am saying.
Quote:People have the capacity to be industrious, fair and peaceable. However it isn't the societal structure that brings out the opposites of these fine traits. The capacity to be lazy, greedy and aggressive are just as natural. They aren't symptoms of a bad social arrangement. They, like our good traits, are simply who we are.Which I agree with. I never once suggested otherwise. I did, however, suggest by living in decentralised communities without capitalism would lessen many of those negatives on your list.
Also, if these exist with or without a government, like you say (and I agree), then what is the purpose of a government again? Oh yeah, to give a small group of people control over the masses.
Quote:To each his own but I would not welcome social anarchy.Most people do not even understand what anarchy is.
This ISNT what anarchy is:
