You can't have peace without JUSTICE...

As for violence....in the words of Norman Finkelstein:

It's better to die on your feet than slave on your knees.

[mikeshanklin]

@MollyTTree You can't have peace without voluntaryism, and voluntaryism seeks nonaggression principle justice.

As for violence.... use it for self-defense. Just don't use AGGRESSIVE violence on peaceful people...

It's not like we're pacifists... you can defend yourself under the nonaggression principle.

[teamflights]

sometimes you cant walk away and sometimes its nessecary to stand your ground peace is an illusion behind violence you cant have peace without violence

[mikeshanklin]

@teamflights Walking away from statism IS standing your ground!

[wordword31]

How do you plan on accomplishing your walking away?

[mikeshanklin]

@wordword31 By educating individuals out of myths/statism... it will take thousands of years most likely and will not occur in my lifetime, but by setting the example and not participating in statism slavery, I believe we can educate more people out of the false belief that statism is ethical and efficient, and expose it as the indentured system that it truly is.

[mikeshanklin]

@Adept2k11 Yeah, we would have no roads and no air and no houses and no computers and no food and no..... LMFAO, GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK! You are really crazy and out there man... as if institutionalized violence is what makes us productive... that is complete lunacy. Almost everything we have has come from entrepreneurs and people working in a market (a market that happens to be extremely enslaved), but a market nonetheless. Point being, we would have MORE of all these things in Freedom.

[mikeshanklin]

@MercComet73 Why do you need to educate me about Zeitgeist Addendum? Shouldn't you spend that time building the robots? Why can't we at least support a world of voluntaryism until the robots (created by humans with human calculations) control production? Why is my act not together in your opinion? What are your thoughts on the nonaggression principle?!?

[jeffsandychelsea]

@teamflights Saying there is no peace without violence is like saying you can't have an orgasm without knowing pain.

part 2

I also brought up the idiocy of the drug war and he said that was my fault and the businessmen who lobbied the government BUT NOT THE GOVERNMENT ENFORCING THE LAW. Typical socialist, gov can do no wrong. I responded with "okay so 80 years before I was born some businessmen who are long since dead lobbied the government and the result is my fault, and the long dead businessmen's fault but not the government's? He said the law doesn't seem to be stopping you, people never admit their wrong.

[Hashishin13]

Ironic that I found this video. Just yesterday I was in an argument with a guy claiming the exact opposite of this. He was literally telling me "you are the government." "they ARE you". So I said how can they be me? Its a physical impossibility that someone else can BE me. His argument was that my being able to argue with people and having a 1/300,000,000 say in who gets elected makes me responsible for government, pretty laughable as even if the guy I want gets elected he will do what he wants.

[MollyTTree]

@mikeshanklin That's what I just said but in the words I chose.

How about I clarify?

When you die on your feet (analogy) you are basically fighting aggressive injustices and slavery tactics.

Doesn't mean there is always death but some die depending. That is what we call SELF-DEFENSE.

My comment does not say to use aggressive violence on peaceful people, nor does it intend any such meaning or intention.

[JonathanSeagullUtube]

@mikeshanklin support a world of voluntarism *two thumbs up*. I hope the enslaved market system crashes into forced volunteerism...perhaps my thoughts are too aggressive? LOL

[JonathanSeagullUtube]

@mikeshanklin 7 billion lifetimes are here now, with education individuals will create ethical and efficient systems. Direct, or participatory democracy on local & global levels will enable the people power to truly thrive. Free internet for all. If we can youtube comment, we can discuss the issues online. If we can bank online, we can vote online. Enable ALL individual voices through ongoing transparent voting on important issues, thats a start. Facebook and Youtube twitetc are amazing tools!
