Under the capitalist system you have the absolute freedom of choice for inconsequential things. You have dozens of different toothpastes, hundreds of different phones, different TV’s, and different computers.
But under the capitalist system you have a supremely limited choice for anything of consequence. Limited political representation and choice, limited control over one’s work, limited access to necessities, and a limited pursuit of fulfillment.Nothing meaningful is offered in capitalism.
So Steemit, How do you guys view Anarchism? Do you believe that it's workable?
I had to think for my self......will a government always be in place? Even if it's not intended?
Imagine living in a nation with no one governing it. CHAOS. Now don't get me wrong.....I tend to lean a little toward the anti - government movement myself but let's be realistic. People love POWER and CONTROL. (whether they admit it or not)
Legality is a matter of power. What is legal is not based on "universal moral values" – it is based on what those in power determine to be useful to uphold their power.
I tell my sister this all the time......just because it's the law does not make it right......the law in many ways contradict itself. But we can all agree government is VERY hypocritical.
So, what is anarchism?
Anarchism is the revolutionary idea that one human is not superior to another human and thus, shouldn't rule another human.
I must agree NO human is more superior than the other. Regardless of race, class, gender, belief, etc. Everyone should be treated equally as such. BUT, can we all be treated as equals and still have a government in place?
This question for me is very difficult to answer especially if you fully understand humans....someone will always want to be in CONTROL.
Money will always be a factor and there will be greed. As long as money exists we will always be at odds with the government. The rich eats off of the poor and the poor.....starves.
"If you spend most of your waking life taking orders or kissing ass, if you get habituated to hierarchy, you will become passive-aggressive, sado-masochistic, servile and stupefied, and you will carry that load into every aspect of the balance of your life."
— Bob Black
What is revolution? What is solution?
In my upmost opinion....money is the key to kicking the governments ass. Every man should work for himself and everyone should stop buying from these big corporate businesses. Keep your money IN YOUR community.
It has often been suggested to me that the Constitution of the United States is a sufficient safeguard for the freedom of its citizens. It is obvious that even the freedom it pretends to guarantee is very limited.
As I spoke about in my last post we aren't even gifted with PRIVACY. Everything we find new and cool and "techy" is another scheme from the government to spy on us.
As wonderful as anarchy sounds, how beneficial do you think it would be?
You ever watch those movies where a group of people are stranded on an island and they are looking for a way home? Well, eventually one or maybe even two people will start to feel superior. They began to argue because of opposing beliefs and now everyone is choosing sides....there you have it guys.....a government is being created.
So what do you guys think?
