I like him ,he's not in your face and he's quite clever and he's grounded in reality.

Strange, i jsut came across a ridiculous video titled Beware of Stefan Molyneux and the Zeitgeist Movement. For one, i wasn't aware the he is FOR the Zeitgeist movement, much less that he had anything to do with it,~I personally am weary of ANY movement., and want NOTHING to do with Zeitgeist or THRIVE, but 2) that video is obviously the mainstream bipartisan govt scared to death that ppl are waking up & pulling away from 'the system' ~YAY, regardless, Stephan has brilliant ideas.

this guy is bullshit

[Ian Booton]

Voluntary army?

Don't get me wrong, i like what Stephan has to say, and like the idea of an enlightened anarchy. I love my freedom, what there is left of it. But a characteristic of anarchists is that they don't like taking orders. I like to think they have too much integrity to submit their lives to such aberrant things like taking orders. However nations are established and maintained by force, and that means military. The heart and soul of a military organization is giving and taking orders.

[TheMylotube]

well, i have doubts that an anarchist society could organize a military defense competitive with what large modern nations now have. if they could not, and there are not even plans for such things by them, it would make the anarchist society short-lived since it could not defend itself.

[Ian Booton]

How will an anarchist society organize that? I have no clue, and that doesn't make anarchism any less valid.

[TheMylotube]

It seems to me that the key to winning wars is in "bigness", and very expensive high tech weapons. It takes a big organization/country to produce nuclear missiles, drones, Abrams tanks, aircraft carriers, bombers, etc. How will an anarchist society organize so as to produce such weapons and armies?

Lacking administration and tax structure is no problem, since those things would be imposed by force. Just as Stefan Molyneux, and the rest of us pay our taxes.
