    “Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal” Unless you can do it by way of the system, so it’s perfectly fien, ain’t it? So of we call it taxation and war, it stops being a sin, huh?

    People think that anarchism is about killing and murdering people and destroying property. In reality, it is about none of those things. It is about physical and mental independence. It is about taking personal responsibility for your actions. It is about caring about your fellow human beings. It is about the true meaning of adulthood. And that is thinking for yourself, questioning everything around you, bucking authority and having an open mind about everything. It’s about calling out people and practicing what you preach. It is about true cognoscenti. Total clear mindedness and the ultimate freedom. That is what true anarchism is about.

    Statism, however, is NOT about any of these things. It is certainly not teaching responsibility. It is about subservience and the reinforcement of childish behavior. This is the poison that is screwing up the world today. These statists are NOT adults. These are overgrown children with a large ego. Worshiping the state is more akin to worshiping Satan/The Devil. Because the system is Satan in real time. These people are massive cowards. They dodge responsibility. They do not want to be free. They don’t even want to be human beings. the concepts of personal responsibility and Freedom scares them, so as a response to this, they cling to their own enslavement, and they lash out at anyone, even their kids, who make previous attempts to free them from these chains. When their kids were brought up to be responsible and caring human beings. But when they do that as well as wake up to the truth, they see their parents cannot do the same thing they raised them to do, which makes the parents hypocrites. When you see and hear the words “security”, “stability” and their favorite word, “safety”, that will tell us all we need to know about them. They are cowards and unthinking hipstercrites in the highest caliber. Not to mention they covet. Coveting is the lifeblood of not only the system, but it is the lifeblood of the blue pill people. They think that personal responsibility and rugged individualism is bad, and only collectivism and “teamwork” is the best thng humans can do. Us people (even Warren Bullock and myself had stated what kind of lie it was). Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin preached collectivism back in their heyday, little do these hipsters know. As Warren had stated at that statement, that is groupthink, and groupthink is responsible for everything wrong with society and humanity, and was responsible for every ounce of tyranny. Conformity and subservience does NOT lead to peace and prosperity, contrary to what these lying statists will tell you. It leads to a substantially global scale of destruction and utter chaos, leaving a murderous ideology at its wake.

    Worshiping the system is akin to worshiping the devil. And these lying, cheating despicable statist blue pillers worship it with all their heart and soul. Those of us who have a brain and use it will have to suffer because of these religious statist idiots. The reason why the world is being destroyed is not because of those who disobey the orders of the Illuminati. It is those who blindly follow them.

    I had the pleasure of listening to David Friedman speak about 15 years ago & have read his opus, ‘The Machinery of Freedom’. Have you read it?

    And yes, the ‘left-right’ divide does not capture the true spectrum of choices of government, which are between Statism on one end, and anarcho-capitalism on the other.

    I don’t know as anybody ‘worships’ the State, so much as they don’t consider alternatives. Often, they feel we just need ‘better management’. While it is certainly true, if we had better professional management, say, in my local school district, waste would be reduced. But the unions would make wage negotiation impossible, and it would be much more difficult to innovate due to political pressures and entrenched interests, than it would be if the schools were privatized. So the answer is not just better/more professional technocrats, though it WOULD reduce the rate of our decline. The public does not seem to trust the private sector to deliver certain goods and services, such as primary education and retirement, or we wouldn’t have public schools and social security. We had charities that took care of the poor before the dole and the Great Society; the general public, does not even realize this. To them, the State is the only alternative.

    I often tell people, one of the main reasons health care is unaffordable, is largely because we have SO much insurance, as well as so much regulation. It used to be, no one was insured, and hospitals posted their rates and had to compete with each other.

    Part of the problem stems from who we elect to office. We don’t elect businessmen and intellectuals, we elect politicians. But a lot of it relates to not teaching economics. The public education system produces Statists, it sure as hell doesn’t produce individualists.

    Statism, to me, is the simple statement ‘I can make better decisions than you and should rule you’.

    Even a highly educated Statist, likely knows little of Mises, Hayek, or Milton Firedman.

    And hell yes, coveting IS a big part of Statism. Getting the population riled up about ‘the 1%’. If it wasn’t for the wealthy, I’d be lined up for my soup instead of employed; somebody has to invest, start businesses, and take big risks so there are any jobs, without jobs the Statists can’t get elected and appoint the technocrats to run all the agencies of the State. I don’t see a problem with ‘economic inequality’, I see a problem with low economic growth rates caused by excessive Statist spending and regulation.

    I, for one, respect and look up to the self-made rich man, as well as the few self-made rich women.

    I think Statism ultimately may lead to economic collapse at worst unless budgets can be balanced. At best it leads to reduced prosperity, freedom, and economic growth.

    That is an understandable fact. I might think about considering that.
