Radical Decentralization

[spencerpsn]

I love this vid. However RJ, might economic decentralisation prefigure political decentralisation? In my community I find it easier to talk about localist economics, credit unions, building socities, collective ownership of symbolic economic activities (pubs and supermarkets through shares) than it is to talk about direct democracy local government. Maybe promotion and organisation of economic decentralisation helps move people towards the demand for political decentralisation?

[TheElMoIsEviL]

Might have to remove Gaddaffi from your video lol

[RjWeapon]

@TheElMoIsEviL

LOL

But NATO and the rebels were met with bloody street-by-street battles from thousands of pro-Gaddafi loyalist forces defending the regime and the Gaddafi doctrine. Perhaps this new minority of survivors can form 'Gaddafi land' off a Mediterranean coastal city in tribute to their dead master? Heh

[jeffsandychelsea]

Like communism, statism will eventually be seen as a massive failure.

[iTzJaKkeFTW]

Why're you so damn clever!?

[caspringer09]

I have to ask. Where did you find the song that played during the video. I ask because I've heard it before in a video game called Ace Combat 4 and loved it and was surprised to hear it again.

Great video by the way.

@RjWeapon Thanks. You've made a new subscriber. :)

[Kenzofeis]

There can be no anarchy for any prolonged time... the gatherers will always come back and start the process again that leads to what is so familiar; umbrella corporations, imperialism, crowd control, wars etc...

One might consider it a "force of nature".

[RjWeapon]

@Kenzofeis

I agree, but I'd add that the same goes for small government.

[hazirafel]

beautiful video, thanks

[liamhession]

I can't tell if you think this decentralization will lead to a better world or not, since the background music is so creepy/somber.

[chrispollock]

liberal representative democracy is the best, most stable, most individually liberating and prosperous system ever. it will only fall if people start tearing it apart like ungrateful children

[SecularNumanist]

@chrispollock

say that to the hundreds and thousands of dead and mutilated vietnamese. Im sure they're grateful for our indulgence.

[chrispollock]

@SecularNumanist and without liberal representative democracy, that slaughter, the result of bad policy, would have continued indefinately, as in a totalitarian state. typical ungrateful person. go live in a dictatorship and see if citizenry can steer policy, as they do in the usa.

[Brajabu74]

@chrispollock Children is your telling analogy. I'd rather tear something down like a child, so that I may live as an adult. If having your ass wiped by corporate fascists is 'stability', I choose the unknown. Complacency due to fear is cowardice.

[chrispollock]

@Brajabu74 the idea of corporations dominating government is a fallacy cooked up by lazy voters who refuse to blame their corrupt politicians that they themselves elect. go live in a radical collectivist society and tell me how much freedom you have. the freedom to fail and the freedom to succeed but freedom nonetheless.

[Brajabu74]

@chrispollock That's an excellent point, and I agree in the ideology. But the reality is, we have a 2 party system that have formed a duopoly in politics (try getting a 3rd party on the 'ticket' and you'll understand what I mean), and have fixed the players. Most people who do vote, are forced to vote for the lesser of 2 evils, and lately that is almost indistinguishable. The concept of 'choice' is a complete delusion. How this came to pass is irrelevant at the moment. Ungrateful? No, disgusted.

[chrispollock]

@Brajabu74 an angry electorate will elect a third party. that's how competition works. the players are not fixed, the peoples votes are still what matter and all the money in the world won't sway a popular enough movement of voters. no one is forced to vote for anyone, that is the beauty of the system, choice is a reality, but most voters choose to fall in with one of the two main parties, and that is their free choice. be disgusted at the voters, not at corporations for competing for resources

[Brajabu74]

@chrispollock So the billions of dollars corporations pump into candidate election funds is altruism? Then miraculously Gov. contracts (which far outprofit private sector) are awarded by funded senator to funding company. I feel represented. I need more taxes taken from me and given to oil companies? The only 'resource' they are competing for is our politicians and given the billions at stake it would only make sense to control both the vertical and horizontal. Fair and balanced, right?

[chrispollock]

@Brajabu74 no, it's greed and self interest for corporations to fund candidates. just like its self interest for a worker to send 5 bucks to a candidate. if you don't like govt. giving tax money to bail out failed businesses, then get others who agree with you and petition already. if enough agree, then you'll get somewhere. corporations would love to acctually run things, but they only run things so long as the corrupt individuals they bribe are not held accountable.

[Brajabu74]

@chrispollock I know, I can elect someone else right? Like Obama? Remember 'Change'? More of the same crap. Who are we bombing today? Still think you have a voice? Really? I do agree most Americans need to turn of the TV and pull their heads out of their asses. Also, corporations aren't responsible to you and me. They aren't there to give me healthcare, make me feel good about myself, or provide security. That's my job. However, what we have now is heads they win tails you lose.

[chrispollock]

@Brajabu74 obama was elected fair and square by the representative democracy system. without the voters, he wouldn't be there. representative democracy is not perfect, but it's better than authoritarian regimes where you have no voice whatsoever and no rights.

[Brajabu74]

@chrispollock You're missing my point or avoiding it. I wasn't arguing the legitimacy of his election, I was pointing out that even with 'choice' we got the same freakin' thing. It's like going to a store and all they have is Coke or Pepsi. Nothing else. Is that really a choice? It's basically the same thing. I do agree with you about Authoritarian Regimes, but that's kind of what we have. How many Americans were pro bank bailouts? Pro bombing Libya? Representative Democracy? Representing who?

[chrispollock]

@Brajabu74 it's not exactly the same thing. if you're referring to corporatist stuff, fair enough. elect a non corporatist candidate and hold them accountable. the two party system is a function of voter laziness, not some institutional oppression. we do not have an authoritarian regime. in fact, in the usa, the civil rights system is the best of any nation in terms of individual protections. the fact that politicians do the wrong thing does not equate a failed system.

[chrispollock]

what is all this utopian nonsense?

[0thatdudewill0]

i have to admit, this video is very very humbling for me. its reminding me, that i live in a world where i see | | this much. and in reality there is an infinite amount more to look at. i rarely see politics beyond the news and in general my mind doesnt work well with understanding the policies in place. also, your high vocabulary and ability to talk very fast about foreign subjects to me...reminds me to keep myself on a even keel.... your a genius man, one day i might be able to understand this

[MARK317th]

In response to some of the Apocalyptic posts please Google:  'Your Eschatology Informs Your Worldview Youtube'. The popular though non-traditional view is being used as a philosophical and psychological de-motivator nevermind to achieve certain political ends..

[ignoranceisbad]

Centralization no matter in what sense is a recipe for disaster

It may have initial successes, but it is bound to fail

The world is a lot brighter and full of more possibilities when it is more decentralized as in the past

decentralization = freedom

any greater centralization will lead to a lack of freedom, even in democracy

[77Brunie]

..Although Papal Rome, the last phase of the Roman Empire or last empire in this earth..which will established the New World Order,aka Babylon the Great, although this church/state will control the whole world, aided and abetted by USA(lamblike-christian nation of the time of the end, our times)....this New World Order will be short...stopped by Christ 2nd coming to establish His kingdom,

and what will come at that time is not what you have shown above, but the Earth Made New, righteous empire

[77Brunie]

Something you have forgotten is Daniel 2,7and 11. It shows the history of this world...from Daniel's times to the end of this world...only 4 empires are described,Babylon, then MedoPersia,  Greece and finally Rome(Pagan and Papal)....this later forming the New World Order...and lasting a short time, at which point it is Christ who establishes His kingdom at the 2nd coming...

[SoldierBoyX]

What if spontaneous order inevitably leads to the world we see today?

[petrus4]

@SoldierBoyX The way that we can see that it doesn't, is by looking at how long the planet survived before the emergence of the current system. We also have other social systems within our own history, which we can look at to tell us what natural equilibrium looks like.

Indigenous systems lasted for milennia without problems. The current system is 200 years old, and has already almost completely destroyed the environment.

[christo930]

What is going to stop power hungry men from gathering together and organizing a state? You can't get away from that. I think it was Jefferson who said that the natural order of things were for governments to grow in power and liberty to be lost.

[kingtafari9]

I think this is all just wishful thinking, what if we slip back into the dark ageds

you seem forget that part.

[natritious1]

@kingtafari9 the dark ages were a time of control by religion

[misstex1812]

hmmm ... i think he could have made all that more simple by saying that capitolism doesnt work, and socialism will take over one day. we know that already dude. and none of it matters because the world never ends. we just do this shit over and over again.

[davyjames]

@misstex1812 Not sure if that's what he even meant though.

[olstar18]

@RjWeapon In short your hypothesis (not theory as that would imply it had been at least partially proven) is based upon misconceptions about history as well as about the way things work in the real world. A breakdown like you speak of would most likely create regionalization but it would not be a good thing. Just look at how often the european kingdoms fought against each other and remember that while they fought the nobles fought each other within their own kingdom as well.

[petrus4]

@olstar18 The narrow mindedness of a given opinion, is usually directly proportional to the degree of adamancy with which it is expressed.

[olstar18]

@petrus4 Sorry but your wording is such that I'm having trouble understanding whether you are in agreement or disagree with my statements.

[olstar18]

@RjWeapon Instead of bureaucracy you had nobility running everything on the local and regional levels and they did not necessarily know what they were doing or even care about their charges. And as for decentralize the church was above the rulers of every kingdom. Anger either the lords or the clergy and you could and would be executed. And if it weren't for bureaucracy we would have no one to run the infrastructure necessary to get the quality of life improvement you speak of.

[olstar18]

@RjWeapon Hate to break it to you but jfrog is correct. Now what I get out of this video is that you believe that all governments will collapse (agreed there the only thing that never changes is nothing stays the same) and be replaced with a decentralized philosophical system without a 'parasitic' bureaucracy running it and you based it on the events after the fall of rome. Medievil europe was in no way shape or form decentralized in the way you envision.

[hymierules]

Although I agree with most of ur videos, I am having trouble with ur conclusion of our society after the New World Order has collapsed. How do u envision this collapse to occur? I'm assuming in some sort of violent end where societies are somehow thrown back into reverting to old technologies for survival. Where each human sect determines their new economic structure to maintain some type of order. Would it be safe to assume that u foresee a disastrous end to our current system? If so Why?

[hymierules]

sorry for the repeated response. Wasnt getting the "ok" from youtube at the time but I now realize that I was. my bad.

[RV56]

Great videos. But how do we get there?

[ZionistWorldOrder]

You cannot build a bomb of Thorium thus the Manhattan project moved to the out of control chain reaction of uranium. Thorium is the Iran solution. This is why you just turn it on, the flouride expands when heated, the expansion slows the process, self regulating, it is unable to go "critical". It's leaks heal themselves, by the circulating liquid flouride crystalising on contact with room temperature air. It worked in the 60's it'd work now. Imagine all the Thorium you've walked past today.

[ZionistWorldOrder]

The Thorium Flouride Reactor could give rise to radical decentralisation. Which is why we can't have it. Even though it worked everyday from 1965-69 by the flick of a button and is SELF REGULATING. NON RADIOACTIVE NUCLEAR REACTOR the size of a dish washer. Burning ROCK. Thorium is on average 10-12 grams per cubic meter rock not only here on Earth but on ALL THE PLANETS. 200grams equals a lifetime of electricity.

The first nuclear powered US aircraft carrier ever had the Thorium reactor.

Your videos are amazing...Its like watching a movie.

[BrutusCass]

@RjWeapon Ok will do right now, you have great work here in your videos on this channel, weldone and thank you.

[BrutusCass]

You have spent your time and animation of mind well, I am very impressed by the depth of your thought. I would like to mirror this video on my channel it is an excellent example of deep reflection on the arguement and a better presention than I could ever hope to obtain. May I?

[Surhotchaperchlorome]

@RjWeapon

OK. So I was more or less right, however, I didn't get all of the message.

Got it.

I missed the second half.

[jfrog1]

Still way too declarative. You are a bright young man - you need to be more excited about the prospect of learning more rather than insisting your conclusions are correct.

[jfrog1]

Getting people to really think is more often stimulated by great questions than by chosen answers, don't you agree?

[jfrog1]

Not that it matters, but I am impressed by your work and your thinking. As it happens, my career was in the forecasting/trend business a few years back and your comments about "particular elements" resonating struck home. The artful presentations here, however, are a bit declarative and presumptuous and essentially eliminate the needed thought, conjecture, and resonance within the viewer that a more "humble" presentation might produce.

[RjWeapon]

Check the links on your comment board.

[jfrog1]

Naive, self-absorbed fantasizing. Really, just a bunch of gratuitous speculation presented as if it had any meaningful background, structure, or intellectual merit.

Nice job!

[johnwrogers]

it will fall because a "government" can not succeed. the question is will we let the new world order become a reality or will we stop it?

[greenhell666]

I share your view

great video

[DissidentDescendant]

The beauty of anarchism is that while anarchists may have completely opposite cultural, ideological, and theological values between one another, we are united in our desire for emergent order and the destabilization of coercive authority. It's great to see people who think so differently work together and respect each other's values. It really feels natural and the way things were meant to be.

[Prometheusforliberty]

This video defines you new ning in my eyes

[tpsisokayiguess]

How do you define "new world order"?
