Government is Lawless

Government is lawlessness, that’s the point. The state comes into existence and perpetuates it thus through acts of violence, be it theft (taxation), enslavement (conscription), counterfeiting (inflation), diplomacy (assassinations), or foreign policy (mass slaughter). Look at the numbers. Governments throughout history have killed far more people than anything else, save maybe old age. But this is excluding of course all that is unseen. If we really tally up the infinite ways in which the government makes not only makes our lives worse but in fact shortens them, government is clearly the greatest evil and most dangerous threat to humanity ever known.

Anarchy is when people control their own lives, when there are no privileged people in society and where no one has power over anyone else. This is the natural order of things. Notice also that it is a state of peace among peoples. But this is also the only moral system possible, as it is the only way to guarantee equality under the law.

The purpose of the law is to resolve disputes among people. When two people have a disagreement that they are unable to find a solution to through negotiating, they will defer to a third party, whether judge or jury. Insofar as there are differences among people, the law will always be necessary for preserving order. The problem is when the government monopolizes law and order, as stands the case in America today.

Perhaps if you really adore the state, you’ll make your pilgrimage to Washington D.C., the holy land, and you can go worship King Lincoln on his throne. The Lincoln Memorial was modeled after Jupiter’s temple on the capital hill in ancient Rome. Jupiter was the God of the Roman state. How fitting.

In the end, all we're asking for is the freedom to opt out. If the system is working that well for you, I'm not going to force you to change anything. But if you believe in the golden rule, then you shouldn't force me to stay in the system against my will. And no, I shouldn't have to move. That's what they did to the Native Americans, remember? Provided I live on private property and don't use any public services, you or the government or anyone else has no right to do anything besides leave me alone.

Peace, Love, and Anarchy.
