RE: Some thoughts on anarchy, freedom, politics and a desire for moving in a new direction.
The language to describe what you are talking about is really difficult. I absolutely believe, now more than ever, that we have the tools to accomplish something better. I think all we have to do is out compete the existing government.
How hard can that be? I also agree that no violence is needed. Actually, its the only way to beat the government. They will win in violence. Even if liberty wins the war, we lose because violence begets violence and so the status quo will continue.
I have hope that open source, decentralized, Abolitionist tools and philosophy are the keys to true freedom. They are so powerful that they are already winning and without even trying.
I think we can apply open source and decentralized principles to absolutely everything. This includes education, healthcare, finance and trade, even muh roads.
It is quite difficult! And I highly agree with pretty much everything you said.
If we could create something better that would be the best goal and that falls in line with Anarchism or Volyuntarism or freedom cause no one is being forced.. They are choosing something they like more, which you could also say is Capitalism in a sense though that word is a bit tainted by many in ways as well.
And if you think about it.. How hard could it be to create a better model or version when the current one is so absolutely toxic and corrupted and is responsible for untold amounts of suffering and pain and injustice in the world.. You would think you could just truly live up to the ideal of freedom and leave people alone and that would be better than a government in which tries to put its tentacles forcefully everywhere it can all over the planet. Yet.. At the same time problems come with that cause that beast has the most powerful military and the other corrupt governments like China and Russia, etc.. Also have powerful military and they are likely not going to just give up with out some kind of confrontation or fight and they're so dastardly and greedy and desperate to hold on to their power that murdering people who disagree wouldn't bother them probably at all.
To me it almost seems like we need to spread the message of freedom to even those at high levels of power, otherwise they will continue to attack and kill and torture and enslave us, yet.. They are so "ingrained" with their ideas that you have to wonder if any amount of words or logic or discussion could ever change their minds? It's a tough problem indeed! Even if the answer at times seems so simple in some ways, in others.. It seems impossible.. Cause the powers that shouldn't be are soooo good at controlling and killing and staying in power that how could we manage to avoid what they've done to so many other movements in how they hijack and take them over?
BUT.. A major thing I wanted to touch on that you said was that I do think decentralization tech and new crypto sort of stuff is really important in that equation cause we need our own source of currency and crypto currency seems like a great way to go since it's so secure and as far as I know unhackable if set up right. It almost seems like that is one of the most important things.. To set up our own "freedom" sort of coin.. An anarchy coin or something like that. But I guess you could say we already have bitcoin and thousands of other coins and maybe in time that will lead us to where we wanna go, or maybe the ones in power will hijack those as well?
One way or the other I think it's important to try to do what we can to move in a better direction and these sorts of things take a lot of time and work to get going so I wanna start working on something as soon as possible, but.. I don't know how or where exactly to start.. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Gave me more to ponder over.. Hopefully in time we can move in a better direction cause what we have now is an absolute mess and so.. Unfair and messed up for so many.
