There are no states, there are no governments, there are no citizens

I agree with this 100%. I've been reading your threads about these kind of things, and I can say is, you're right in every aspect, Sythe. Although there are some minor things I disagree on.

 

Im from the UK.

Taxes, give me free hospital check up, surgeries, dental treatment, college, bus travel.

I'd rather pay taxes, then have these factors removed from me, or for my children. If i have any.

 

How much is the average tax a year, and how much free schooling etc do i recieve from the government? The comparison is miniscule? I think not.

Expand on "you'll pay taxes and receive no services"

 

Gah stop saying fallacy. I think it is true, if we retained our income, we could easily pay for our own health etc.
But my dad had prostate cancer. It was an extremely expensive procedure to remove the tumor. Paid for by health insurance. And police and state workers, without taxes, how would they be paid? Without them, shit would happen.

 

Was it not you who told us not to respond to someone unless their post pertains to the topic?


Sythe, do you think an anarchy would be optimal? Because I do. I find that in an anarchistic society, social darwinism is in full effect. We are not subject to the idealistic tidings of a "government" designed to keep us all under their thumb, and we are able to each work for our own good. Sure, there would be suffering, but it supports the idea of each person working to be stronger, smarter, and more well-equipped. Many supporters of a free market would say that we have no incentive to produce better products, but the majority of products that are created in todays society are all wants, and very little need fulfillment. In an anarchistic society, the smartest and strongest would build the best survival mechanisms and would absolutely thrive.

My 2 cents.

 

Not exactly

 

I too think an anarchy would be optimal, but i don't see how an anarchy is possible. People strive for power over other people, and so total freedom for everyone doesn't work in practice.

 

Every argument you deal with you use hard core proof that you can hold and that screams P-R-O-O-F. That doesn't work with everything. There are two sides to every argument.
