Anarchists are annoying. But, at least I would be able to victimize them easily if they ever did manage to get it. ‘Lord of the Flies’ was the first serious novel about anarchy.
Looks to me like that guy went and saw North Korea, then came home damaged by it.
The problem with anarchy is that it is Hell. Just go anywhere that doesn’t have a functioning government, and you will see Hell. Warlords, gangs, slavery, destruction.
The problem for Humanity is that anarchy is not the -only- hell. North Korea is a socialist slave state, probably worse than anarchy. A hell of infinite government.
So government certainly has a function. Even a bad government is better than nothing, so long as the people have the power to push back and kick it into line. The trick is to resist those who keep eroding that power of self defense.
Seems like a cool guy though. I’m sure he’ll come to it presently.
I actually wonder if anarchy wouldn’t be better than the oppressive shit democracy we have in Canada right now. I definitely question the statement that “bad government is better than no government.” I think that the US government about 200 years ago was basically anarchy when compared to the putrid leviathan they have now and it definitely wasn’t hell. Of course there was that pesky civil war they had, but they got through that in tact.
The problem I have with Canada is our government seems to be impervious to any sort of real conservatism. I can definitely understand why people like this guy detest conservatives. What is the point of the conservative parties in Canada existing for the past 70 years? We only see increasing regulation, larger government and layer upon layer of new taxes. It’s why if this stupid carbon tax is NOT repealed by a Scheer government after the next election, I’m shutting it all down. I’ll figure out the exact dollar amount I need to make in order to pay zero income tax and I’ll just relegate myself to a rocking chair. You may be able to convince 39% of the electorate to tax the rest of us into oblivion, but you can’t (yet) force us to work.
