I like your videos, I feel they raise some interesting points. But at the same time, I feel you seem to cripple your argument with loaded language. For example, the whole part about "The Agency" is pretty absurd. It seems to be implying that it is a common and encouraged punishment for people who fail to pay taxes. When, in fact, that sort of punishment is seen as aberrant and legally speaking, not allowed. Most punishments are usually minor, such as wage garnishment fines and penalties.
The short of it is that it's easy to allow force on others when those others are outside your social sphere, and are essentially nameless, faceless people. But that doesn't stop them from being as much a person as you or I.
Rememberev, I have no doubt that this country is overdue for societal collapse. If you compare us to other syphilizations in history, it would appear that we're ripe for failure.
Zombeh, I agree that folks do it in a governed state; my question is what people woul do if they were being victimized. I doubt I'd sit idly by and let evil occur.
Does anyone think that one day this country will just fall apart? Century after century different empires were made all over the world it did take time, but in time all of these great and powerful nations and empires just fell apart. Doesn't anyone think that that this nation will fall apart? (please reply and keep it simple)
@Wyowanderer777 Good question. I think statelessness will still be better for two reasons.
1. We won't turn killers, rapists, and thieves into police officers and give them immunity (or protection) from consequences of criminal acts.
2. Self-defense, both the act and possession of the means of self-defense, won't be criminalized. Currently, the police have significantly disarmed the public which gives criminals an advantage, especially since they fear armed citizens more than the police.
@philliproemer21 I agree, but with the following not so agreements;
What will happen to the folk who are presently imprisoned? With no government to run the prisons, the occupants families would clamor for their release. And the corrupt police (ever notice the word lice in police?) of the world would be looking for a system to rule over.
We agree that a stateless society would be better; but I see major problems in its implementation.
@Wyowanderer777 Hi, creator of the vid here. Thanks for the kind words. Your question is a big one. If you check the website: george ought to help dot com I've included some links to some very good PDF books and resources that will help you research this. Also: look up Chaos Theory by Bob Murphy.
contribution to the unfortunate by the voluntary whim of the fortunate doesn't work. Welfare is by no means perfect, but its the only rational option, just as capitalism is by no means perfect, but is still the most rational option.
@MrGreeneggsnham It works badly, especially with all the people who definitely shouldn't be getting it, but if you were to compare it to the latter system, it works amazing. Its made for the people who aren't able to work really hard and compete in the job market--eg. What are the blind supposed to do? People with certain disorders--they have absolutely no chance no matter how qualified they are under no fault of their own.
@pawndominance1 "contribution to the unfortunate by the voluntary whim of the fortunate doesn't work."
What exactly do you mean by 'doesn't work'? What are your criteria for 'working' in this instance? (such that welfare works and traditional charity (only) doesn't).

This video is a hit out of the ballpark, great job!
One quick, sincere question;
How will society work without government, given that there are so many who are willing to kill, rape, steal (you get the picture) from others?
Once again, great video. Thanks.

@Wyowanderer777
There are many willing to kill, rape, all the rest, under government too. (Not to mention the government steals from you itself.)
Society without government would not be perfect.
