The Philosophy of Liberty: Property
h/t Skeptical Eye
But who would build roads?
How would we maintain order?
Aren't these things desirable?
Kind of like how a flat screen TV is desirable?
Who builds flat screen TVs?
Ooh not forgetting the other one,
What if someone tried to take over?
(Umm, I think that one may have already happened...)
Also btw anyone familiar with Georgism? Interesting different perspective.
In general I steer clear of 'political ideology' per se, since it tends to get too narrowed down to arguing specific, small issues rather than seeing the bigger picture, the importance of embracing freedom and the non-initiation-of-force principle, and then within that framework different groups can live how they see fit.
(yeah, best think twice before jumping on that^ bandwagon, or at least check out the ACL first)
But one thing I will say is that our language is so unfairly biased against anarchists. First of all the term anarchy, and its cultural associations. Sorry, I'm not a fan of the crazy hair...lol. Secondly the behaviour of people (often police provocateurs, as I have said before) calling themselves anarchists and then smashing things up and saying 'F the Police' and 'F the troops'. Thirdly, the notion that government is there to protect your life, liberty and property, when all they ever do is the exact opposite.
Now I suggest a change in the semantics that will make it more clear. Instead of talking about 'getting rid of the government' (which makes people think - not entirely unreasonably - of disorder and chaos), how about keeping all the current government institutions but having them be funded voluntarily. So really only taxes and the debt slave currency monopoly have to go - and indeed they do, as they are a total violation of morality on every level, and a symptom of our fallen state, as I said. Police remain. Courts remain. Hell, the Mil-Int still remain. They just have to get their funding either by selling their services, or by charitable donation like any other NGO.
A good example btw would be the RNLI here in the UK/Eire, totally donation funded right now, and they do great and heroic work rescuing people at sea, just as good as any government funded scheme could be (until looking into it, I presumed government ran the lifeboats just as they currently run other emergency services). Do the RNLI not send a lifeboat because it would be cheaper not to? NO! Because a) they are good people I presume, and b) they would lose public support and thus donations, if people thought they were a bunch of 'death panel' enthusiasts who liked to 'deny care'.
Imagine kids standing around with loud shaking buckets of coins, just like they do for charities, but with 'MI5' written on the label. Or 'Royal Groom of the Stole Fund'. Haaaaaa. If I ever see that I'll know 'we' have won. : )

...and yes, Chemtrails interfere with weather
(but why they are used, no-one fully knows...)
And You Tell Me There's No Suppressed Technology?
It's another of those 'conspiracy theories' that good citizens don't notice. Imagine the standard of living if all the secret technology was released to the public...we'd be "free and independent" as JFK said! No more poverty anywhere! Can you imagine being sick enough to withhold such technology from society just to maintain your position of control? (Bearing in mind that we don't know just how much technological capability is being withheld, because, duh, it's secret.) What did Nikola Tesla really develop?
Individual Liberty? But that's "selfish"!
No, we need to look after each other voluntarily without having a government do all that at gunpoint. Sounds absurd at first but soon you realise that the reason it sounds so is because of the very unfree nature of our current existence. Envision greater possibilities! Ok, some kind of massive wake-up would be needed before this kind of free, responsible, uncontrollable society could emerge. And that's what we are seeing day by day in the world - a massive waking up of the previously enslaved masses (including myself I must add!)
