Why abolish The State if it'll just happen again?
OK, then.
I might as well never bathe or wash laundry again since I and my clothes will only get dirty and I'd have to wash again.
I might as well not eat since in a few hours I'll only get hungry once more.
Why bother even getting out of bed? At the end of the day I'll just need sleep again.
It's really a very childish justification.
Sure, a new State might arise before too long, but not immediately, and it would take some time for it to become tyrannical again. Is there no value to be found in the liberty the people would enjoy in the meantime? I think there is.
I'm willing to hit the "Abolish the State button" even if it only turns out to be a "reset button".

Not only that, Hawk, but the idea of "The State" is a meme -- The State does not exist. Only people exist. Psychopaths jockey themselves into groups that morph into what we lovingly call "The Government" ("Our Great Nation", "My Country" et al.).
ReplyDeleteOver history these groups of governmentalists and their serfs and their warriors have fought and murdered and displaced individuals and families and have drawn fictitious lines in the sand called "State" over the entirety of the globe. "History" for the most part is a somewhat true accounting of these machinations, embellished with the meme that "we" should love and pledge allegiance to theses groups of crazy-makers.
You and I are among the 1% or so who can see through all this and refrain from pledging allegiance, loving "national" anthems, saluting flags, and otherwise remain in the servitude of those psychopathic crazies.
The enormity of the truth is incredible.
