  • Wow! Amazing!

  • Wouldn't the ostracizing of statists (the majority) by non-statists (the minority) just result in statists continuing on with they statists ways as they had before, only more so, with non-statists input now removed?

  • the problem with this guy is that he's long on the problem and short on solutions. it's alright to criticise the state and talk of anarchism but no solution is ever proposed suggesting either how a state of anarchism could be brought about or how it would work. why? because in a complex technological society it CAN'T WORK!! every organisational system in society is a top down command and control. it's the only way it can be unless you want to go back to the stone age.

  • Its very true Fireflood, how we find ourselves entangled in history repeating itself is more a question of being distracted away from our much more deeper spiritual purposes.

  • @cocoaocean What if instead of stop signs there would be intersection signs ? People would naturally stop. And supposed there would be stop signs in the middle of the street for no reason, would anyone stop for them ? I agree that "helping" doesn't produce any result. You could go to Africa and spend your entire life helping some poor children. But in the meantime, governments would be deciding on their actual fate... It's not even about stopping the madness, just not participating.

  • "No one rules if no one obeys." No need for sacrifice, no need for violence.

  • It does not mean you wont get away with not paying taxes, going through stop signs etc., but using your life to constantly prop up a lie will drain you and the goal of life, to discover the self, will be lost. No amount of help can support a lie, its just to heavy, (oppression), so do yourself a favor and stop donkey kicking anyone that tries to stop this maddness.

  • @lsteved This assumes that statists are actually influenced by anarchists which all evidence points against.

  • state freeeeeeze :D

  • So if it doesn't mater what we say, what's he talking about? What is it that I'm supposed to do, not pay taxes? If I don't pay them, don't I go to prison and suffer state violence? If I drive through traffic lights, I get ticketed and ultimately lose my license, by force. Body language is supposed to change this? I'm not understanding this. I'm more likely to suspect this guy for being a state-of-mindness statist who'd have me belong do his state or be ostracized.

  • Free depending on how rich you are... the anarcho-capitalist way.

  • 48:17 That's what I do..
