Governments are The Number one Killer

[Rev. Rye]

It's like saying to someone, 'we can put you on a treatment to remove your cancer, the worse thing that can happen is that your cancer will come back' I'll take my chances then!

You do know that's kind of what happens with cancer treatments anyway, right? I mean, that's why people who have recovered from cancer say they're in remission. They'll never be cancer-free. Unless they die of something else, it will always come back. In fact, I once had a teacher who explained that, even if we could get rid of all other diseases, we'd still have cancer because cells always go rogue. So, yeah. The analogy doesn't work.

Anarchy means rules but no rulers. Governments just have a monopoly on violence now, I rationally oppose all aggressive entities.

You do realise that without rulers, you lack any way of enforcing those rules, right?

My solution to replace stealing is not to steal. My solution to rape is not to rape.

I said a viable alternative. You don't really think you can run a large society on the honor system, do you?

I'm sorry but when does using violence work in a small group? Are you saying stealing, rape, and torture works well as long as it happens locally?

Sorry, I must have gotten confused. I was talking about the anarchist system you seem to have proposed. Of course, that said, just because the government is evil doesn't mean it isn't a lesser evil.
