RE: WTF is the Deep State?
Thanks for your response. I can agree that there is something seriously wrong with the world, but I have my doubts about whether anybody is in control. I believe the ongoing political battles for dominance

RE: Open Borders Presupposes a State
Thanks for clearing up the implications of advocating for open borders. I hadn't thought about it before this big "controversy" between anarchists. I just assumed that open borders meant not

RE: Setting the Record Straight: Borders and Immigration (Addressing a Contentious Issue for Anarchists)
I didn't understand why this argument had to be made because it is so obvious to any voluntaryist/anarcho-capitalist that state borders are simply a violently enforced fiction, just like any other state

RE: Supply and Demand, Steemit-Style
I love your "be famous" suggestion. Since practically nobody knows me, my goal for my first post wasn't to make money but to get a few followers. Success! Thanks for your help.

RE: The Consistent Human
What a great idea! The labels are what make communication so hard. Having to define your terms for someone who has already pre-judged them can kill the conversation.

RE: Rebel Posers
Thanks for not mentioning names. It is too sad when people we previously admired sell out, but you can call them out for it on principle without pointing fingers. As you did here brilliantly.

RE: My Journey to Voluntaryism
You are right that it is the state that is the enemy. There is a possibility of competing governments, or even government by contract, but I didn't see that distinction between state and government until

RE: The "Power Vacuum" Argument
The "power vacuum" concept is mind-boggling. The glaring assumption that statists don't seem to recognize, let alone analyze, is the idea that all humans WANT to be forcibly dominated by another

RE: Impossible! A conversation with a statist about starting a business
Great way to show the foolishness of statist arguments against anarchy, except many (most?) statists find the idea of starting a business almost as terrifying as living in a voluntary society.

RE: Comply or Die: The Original Hate Speech
So true. Anarchism isn't just about building a new, free, peaceful society. It is about stopping the hate.

Now I understand why I was never a statist. Being a preacher's kid and seeing the reality behind the rhetoric inoculated me against the insanity of all religious dogmas. Spirituality is an individual thing,

RE: Everything you Need to Get Started Fast with Steemit, Social Media that Pays [Complete Tutorial with Screencast]
This is very helpful. I'm still trying to figure out how to add good images to my introductory post and how to inform the few people who know me that they might want to be on Steemit, if they aren't already.

RE: Choose Liberty, or Choose Domination
Liberty means taking responsibility, but it is important to be reminded that one cannot escape responsibility by giving up liberty. Thank you.

RE: Demanding The World Entertain You--Part 1 of 2: "YOU'RE BORING!"
This explains something I've often wondered about. How can people complain about being bored when there are so many things to do and think about in the world? They are simply not taking responsibility
