Government
By its nature,” government” adds nothing positive to society. It creates no wealth and generates no virtue. It adds only immoral violence and the illusion that such violence is legitimate. Allowing some people to forcibly dominate all others- which is all that government ever does- does not contribute to society one speak of talent, or ability, or productivity, or resourcefulness, or ingenuity, or creativity, or knowledge, or compassion, or any other positive quality possessed by human beings. Instead, it constantly stifles and limits all of those things through its coercive “laws”. It is destructive and insane to accept the notion that civilizations requires the forcible limiting of possibilities, and violent restraint of the human mind and spirit- that civil society can exist only if the power and virtue of every individual is forcibly overcome and suppressed by a gang of masters and exploiters- that the average man cannot be trusted to govern himself, but politicians can be trusted to govern everyone else- that the only way for the morality and virtue of mankind to shine through is to crush the free will and self-determination of billions of human beings, and to convert them all into unthinking, obedient puppets or ruling class, and a source of power for tyrants and megalomaniacs- that the path to civilization is the destruction of individual free will, judgment and self- determination.
That is the foundation, the heart and soul, of the superstition called “authority”. When people are ready to recognize that heinous lie for what it is, and begin to accept personal responsibility for their own actions, and for the sate of society- and not one moment before- then true humanity can begin. People can desperately wish for “piece on earth” until they have blue in the face, but they will never see it, unless and until they are willing to pay price, by giving up one tired, old superstition.
The solution to most of society’s ill is for you, to recognize the myth of “authority” for what it is, give it up in yourself, and then begin efforts to deprogram and wake up all of the people you know who, as result of their indoctrination into the cult of “authority” worship and in spite of their virtues and noble intentions, continue to support and participate in the violent, anti- human, destructive and evil oppression and aggression machine knows as “government.” Millions of victims are my witnesses.
