My jaw literally dropped reading this. This couldn't be a more perfect post to explain what I have been attempting to share with you.

"At first, people believed that life couldn't go on without these violent practices, that civilization would "collapse" if they were set aside. Yet history did set them aside - and life went on, indeed somewhat better than before because human beings have the ingenuity to devise noncoercive approaches.

In their heyday, [these uses of force] are thought to be inevitable, something no one can do anything about. Nevertheless, generations later, they have disappeared. It is likely that the same pattern still applies, and that uses of force that today seem ingrained and even essential are also destined to disappear."

Capitalism is just another violent practice of giving ourselves the "rights" to impose our will on other life!

So, what I am suggesting is that we abolish such barbaric systems even though they may appear "ingrained and even essential"!

"He concludes that the evolution away from force and towards voluntary alternatives is slow and uneven, but that those who associate themselves with voluntary efforts are on a "more secure path to progress"."

This is exactly what I'm suggesting!! Private (opposed to personal) property is only possible through the use or threat of force dictated by the state. You cannot have a world full of private property (quote from other article), if you do not have a state to enforce private access to said property.

So, allow me to offer the idea that capitalism is at the source of much of our violence and force! If we can agree on this then we can evolve our conversation to designing better alternatives. Such as Our NeighbourGood a project I'm developing and would love any critique from your brilliant mind!
