Anarchists are often accused of only talking about the joys and wonders of a free world, devoid of politicians and men in uniforms running significant portions of our lives. It all sounds great...in theory. But how do we get there?

There are many paths to a free society, and my goal here is to help elucidate the realistic probability that a free society is awaiting us in the future. Let’s start briefly by looking at some basic facts about the State.

States do not last. They are not permanent. In fact, throughout history, every single one of them died off, most in bloody, disastrous fashion. Continually new States have sprung up. These States will one day die off as well. In fact, when looking at the biggest of them all, the United States of America, it’s quite possible we will see this happen in our lifetime.

The US government is currently borrowing from Central Banks in order to cover a significant chunk of our federal government’s annual expenses. There are legally-bound obligations to other nations, through treaties, and to our own citizens, in the form of unfunded liabilities. As these unrealized debts start to hit the books, the government will likely become completely insolvent. With millions of troops stationed around the world, tens upon tens of millions more literally dependent on the government to survive, and bills stacked to the White House ceiling that we can’t pay, how the hell do you think this will end any other way?

I’ll tell you how. We’re going to build a better world. We already are. We are slowly going to take over, piece by piece, all of the things the government does, and we’re going to do it better. Seem crazy? Shouldn’t, because it’s already happening. It’s been happening.

Bitcoin is a great example of how these dominoes are already stacked. Even if it isn’t valued today the same as major fiat currencies, it still is a monumental success and proof positive of where we are heading. We can build things that the State currently controls that function in a better way, without any possibility for State restrictions. More are being built, while even more are being thought up.

Imagine kids going to school and in the first month they manage to learn everything they were going to learn that entire school year, on their own. Seem crazy? It’s not. Why are we scrambling kids’ brains every 45 minutes with different classes? Why are we not encouraging them to learn what they actually want to learn? Why do they take summers off from learning? Why is learning a chore? Why does it stop when they leave high school or college?

Clearly there is a big market need for some major disruption with education, right now, today. Government is losing its grasp on our youth and all it will take is the right idea set in motion to liberate them once and for all.

Notice how this wasn’t a deep philosophical discussion about why a free-market education model is better for kids. Also notice how this won’t go up for “vote” and won’t get “debated”. It will just get built. It will just be better. People will use it without even thinking. The old ways will no longer have a use, and will rapidly die off.

These are the front lines of the battlefield, in my opinion. However, the front lines still need support and reinforcements. These come in many forms.

Peaceful, permissive parenting is proven to allow children’s brains to develop in ways that enhance their levels of empathy and compassion, as well as their sense of independence, just ask @sterlinluxan. Assuming authorities best be wary, as these children will grow up to laugh at them and their language of violence. They will also be far more prepared to face the challenges in building a better world. They will be our best reinforcements down the road.

Compassionate communication allows us to convey our ideas to others, while getting them interested in topics that would normally send them through the roof with rage before blocking us out. By delicately talking about radical things, we can connect with people by displaying our own levels of empathy, curiosity, and patience. This helps to foster more minds that will ultimately latch themselves to the ideas of freedom and become our support.

Steemit allows us to have a platform. We have a voice here. We aren’t the crazy folks on Twitter who simply tweet the same memes to themselves. We put ourselves out there and end up trending, because our ideas are pretty cool. Again, this creates an environment, where over time, more and more people will at the very least become curious about our ideas. The more that are curious, the more we can discuss the problems of our world, and get to work solving them, without asking for permission.

We have never had a seat at the table. We have always been the outsiders. Here at Steemit, we are the ambassadors of freedom. We are the voice that has been silenced. We are connecting with people peacefully, compassionately, and logically. Our arguments are morally and pragmatically superior. They will win out, if people listen. People have never listened, because they never had to. Now, they can’t skip over us. They can’t silence us. We are becoming a part of their fabric, like we never have before.

We can build a better world. We will build a better world. We need people like @blakemiles84 to join us. We need people like you to join us. We will do this together. We will come up with ideas that we never thought possible to address some of the most complex social issues we face. We will implement these ideas into everyone’s lives without them even noticing.

The State won’t die with a bang, but with a whimper, and all of us here will be a part of it...
