Why should every individual understand the truth of authority, freedom, government, etc..
It is not a luxury but a necessity to know this.
Because otherwise you are participating in and contributing to a false system that is immoral and violent. You are participating in your own slavery.
mankind will never be free as long as government exists
Because in the quest for absolute liberation for the human being the societal Mileiu, the world we live in, is an important part of that.
Although the only true freedom is within and a man could be in a physical jail yet still be absolutely liberated.
The human being and mankind as a whole is not and will not be absolutely free until we have evolved beyond belief and participation in government and all that comes with that
Statism is a false belief system that has no basis in Objective Truth or Morality or Natural Law
Freedom Requires Morality
Government is immoral and makes an institution of fundamental immorality An individual or a society that is not moral cannot be free Morality and freedom go together Just as freedom and responsibility are one.
Government Suppress Humanity
“I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.”
- Harriet Tubman In the quest for the ultimate liberation, empowerment, of mankind our governmental system, The free-range slavery system that we are in mashed in is central to the suppression of human freedom and the human spirit
Government, media, economic, education , corporations - all weaponized against humanity to keep us enslaved, distracted, ignorance, and divided, asleep.
Going to the root of the problem
“You cannot solve the problem from the same level of thinking that created it.”
We have to radically and fundamentally re-examine all of our suppositions about government, society, freedom,
People have been so indoctrinated into the cult of statism that the belief that we need government that they most people never even think to question the base supposition that we need government They will attempt to create a new government or rearrange the chairs in the current one - But they cannot even conceive of doing away with government altogether. That shows how deeply they have been conditioned.
Freedom or Slavery - Truth or Falsity
You are either free Or you are not free
You either allow, support, and become an accomplice to violence and evil and lies Or you do not allow violence, evil, lies and actively remove it from the world
You live based in eternal truth Or you live in lies and falsity
You either believe and participate ans uphold a false system that enslaves mankind Or you do not believe in, do not participate, and do not sustain an anti-human in the entire divine system and so contribute to building a world that is based on natural law and universal rights.
There is no middle ground. You are either awake Or you are asleep
Explaining Anarchism/Voluntarism Simply & Directly
If I was to simply state to people why anarchy/voluntarism is the ONLY moral and free way to live and organize our societies.
The only way a society can be free, moral, and flourish is through allowing total individual liberty, voluntary contracting, private property, No authority(other than sovereign individual), and no monopoly on violence.
- *Most powerful arguments for anarchism/voluntarism
- Government that is not freely chosen, is always immoral and exists through violence
- You cannot delegate a right you do not have. No individual has the right to do what government does and claims the right to do, therefore this amorphous group of “government” does not have the right to steal and aggress.
- “Voting” does not make anything moral and Lawful. I have not voted for anything the gov does. The majority cannot tyrannize the minority.
- if a societal organization is entered into voluntarily, then it is not government. Government is monopolization on violence and authority.
- Belief and obedience to government is a cult based on indoctrination and the ignorance and disempowerment of individuals.
- That which is moral has nothing to do with what is legal
- I am a free, sovereign individual. I have the divine right to do as I will as long as it harms none.
- Anarchism is people existing in freedom and choosing who to associate with voluntarily without the threat of violence. It is the normal status quo of almost all of our society, except for where government dominates.
Voluntaryism
- Self-ownership - no person or group has any legitimate claim to excersizing control over, or otherwise placing restraints on, the actions of others so long as the person's actions do not violate the equal rights of others.
- Nonaggression principle, Non-violence
- Individual consent, no coercion
- “Violence is never a means to knowledge. As Isabel Paterson, explained in her book, The God of the Machine, "No edict of law can impart to an individual a faculty denied him by nature. A government order cannot mend a broken leg, but it can command the mutilation of a sound body. It cannot bestow intelligence, but it can forbid the use of intelligence." *
- William Godwin pointed out that force "is contrary to the nature of the intellect, which cannot but be improved by conviction and persuasion," and "if he who employs coercion against me could mold me to his purposes by argument, no doubt, he would.. He pretends to punish me because his argument is strong; but he really punishes me because he is weak."
- The use of coercion to compel virtue eliminates its possibility, for to be moral, an act must be uncoerced. If a person is compelled to act in a certain way (or threatened with government sanctions), there is nothing virtuous about his or her behavior. Freedom of choice is a necessary ingredient for the achievement of virtue.
"If the government directed them to do something that their reason opposed, they were to defy the government. If it told them to do what their reason would have told them to do anyway, they did not need a government."
- Epictetus
Voluntaryists oppose the State because it uses coercive means. The means are the seeds which bud into flower and come into fruition. It is impossible to plant the seed of coercion and then reap the flower of voluntaryism. The coercionist always proposes to compel people to do some-thing, usually by passing laws or electing politicians to office. These laws and officials depend upon physical violence to enforce their wills. Voluntary means, such as non-violent resistance, for example, violate no one's rights. They only serve to nullify laws and politicians by ignoring them. Voluntaryism does not require of people that they violently overthrow their government, or use the electoral process to change it; merely that they shall cease to support their government, whereupon it will fall of its own dead weight. If one takes care of the means, the end will take care of itself.
- the voluntaryist rejects the use of political power because it can only be exercised by implicitly endorsing or using violence to accomplish one's ends. The power to do good to others is also the power to do them harm. Power to compel people, to control other people's lives, is what political power is all about. It violates all the basic principles of voluntaryism: might does not make right; the end never justifies the means; nor may one person coercively interfere in the life of another. Even the smallest amount of political power is dangerous.
- Carl Watner, Fundamentals of Voluntaryism https://www.panarchy.org/watner/voluntaryism.html
Voluntaryism It is simply saying that a moral in a free society cannot have violent aggression. Even if that violent aggression is done in the name of "the greater good". Everything MUST be voluntary If you advocate that people must obey government, then you are an advocate and supporter of VIOLENT AGGRESSION & SLAVERY & THEFT
- *Government is a cult. Belief in the legitimacy of government is the state of unconsciousness of a cult member belief in the authority of the government, and that you have a duty to obey. Obedience to the defense of this violent government is the activity of a slave mind
The only authority is YOU, the individual Almost everyone misunderstands anarchism It is simply advocating for the fact that all violent aggressive government authority is illegitimate. That individual human beings must be able to voluntarily choose their own way of living. Removing the monopoly, violent control from the State. That people must be free to rule themselves and engage in free-will organization with others
- *You cannot be made to be a member of a group or subject of a rulership if you do not choose to be so That being born on a certain piece of land or choosing to live in a certain place does not make you automatically subject to the government that claims to have authority/monopoly of that place.
Morality is absolute Stealing/theft is wrong - no matter who does it or for what stated reasons. Government taxation is THEFT The ends NEVER justify the means. Even if our taxes really did all go to helping people(which they don’t, they go for military, surveillance, secret programs, etc.) You have to give people the opportunity to choose for themselves, and choose to help others and work together in a community.
Anarchism is a relationship, not a political system Anarchism is people existing in freedom, and choosing who to associate with voluntarily without the threat of violence. It is the normal status quo of almost all of our society, except for where government dominates.
Within an anarchist society there could be all manner of different political formations – communist communities, socialist, communities, statist, communities, etc.
If the US government allowed people who live within its borders to opt-out completely of paying taxes and being subject to its arbitrary laws(like drivers licenses, plant medicine prohibition, etc.) , then I and other anarchists would not have a problem with the US Gov(unless it egressed against us). But the fact that it is a total monopoly that does not allow you to opt out, is fundamentally immoral and it means that you are not a free being.
To believe in liberty is not to believe in any particular social and economic outcome. It is to trust the spontaneous order that emerges when the state does not intervene in human volition and human cooperation. It permits people to work out their problems for themselves, build lives for themselves, take risks and accept responsibility for the results, and make their own decisions.
