An inquisitive alien visits the planet to check on our progress as a species, and gets into a conversation with the first person he meets. The alien discovers that we live under the rule of a thing called "government", and wants to understand more about what "government" is, what it does, and why it exists.

Produced and voiced by Graham Wright, based on part of the talk by Larken Rose at the Free Your Mind Conference 2011, which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR7vhn.... Larken's channel is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/LarkenRose

    "Forcibly enforcing the law using forceful force." That ought to get the message across. :) (P.S. If you want a chuckle, check out the exchange I just had with a jackboot under CopBlock's posting of "When Should You Shoot a Cop?" I think I'll have to make it into its own video.

    Oh, so it wasn't because the police can enforce the law USING FORCE? What if a normal civilian or group of civilians decided to use force in self-defense against unjust aggression? It would be the same as having police protection and no taxes would be required. In fact, it would be better since the people wouldn't need to wait for the police to arrive AFTER the crime was committed.

    What government would they seize to gain control of the population? What institutions? The police, army, pentagon? They wouldn't exist in a free society. They seize the obedience of people that think the way you are, now. Without that, every house is a country that needs to be conquered.

    "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." is a quote by Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.

    Compare the definition of "government" with that of "radical"...

    Okay, so what if a nazi-Germany kind of country invaded and came with their Luftwaffe? No anarchist protection can match that.

    I watched the video and it really is a beautiful thing. I am in favour of such things. No government or central structure at all however, seems too radical.
