A case against government Part 4: The Invisible Hand Oppresses

oppressionOften we hear how a government is needed because the people are greedy.  We hear of the evil capitalist and his crusade for himself.  We hear that we must assert control over others because this greedy capitalist will look to keep his job and wealth over the welfare of others.  So why not create a system where that “evil capitalist” has to pander to the people.  Why not create a system that the “evil capitalist” holds no power over the individual, but where all are equal and will choose who will gain that power and wealth?  Here I will discuss how the arguments of human nature are not only applicable to a free market but also to the state.  A government’s interest is to keep problems not solve them.

A case against government Part 3: State Violence

MilitaryPoliceIt occurred to me that there may be those out there who read this site and still do not comprehend my philosophy. I think people loose me when they  argue what the role government should have.  I  ask if we should have a government.  My answer is no.  I think a good place to start is to look at is what I call State Violence.  In order to accept the existence of a state you must accept state violence.  A state has no way to force it’s will upon the people without threat of force.  In order for a state to exist it must embrace two basic forms of violation. These are theft and violence. The state exists as a parasitic entity that is destructive to both the host and itself.

I am convinced I should have started my series “A Case Against Government” with this article.  It is the heart and base of all government power and violations.

A case against government Part 2: Migration

immigrants(video at bottom)

Are freedoms determined by birth alone? The issue of immigration is based on biases, and prejudices no matter how subtle.  This is not to call pro-state controlled immigration advocates “racist” but mostly unaware and misinformed.  It is also a tendency for those individuals to claim to have anti-statist views or small government views which are compromised by their support of the state in this area in an attempt to keep out the others.  This is the typical us vs. them conflict once more.

Welfare! No Free Lunches! Work Hard get far! Immigrants are leeching off the welfare system! All rubbish.  That is right, all of these battle cries of the Neo-Con and conservative right are rubbish.  “But Punk Johnny  Cash!” you scream, “you support the abolition of welfare, social security, Medicaid, Medicare, and any government assistance whatsoever, how can you say such things are rubbish?”

A case against government Part 1: Police State

policeWe have to have government. Who would protect us if we didn’t have police? Right? I keep hearing these questions and claims.  The Supreme Court blew holes in those arguments when they decided it was not the job of the police to protect people.  If you have a hard time with believing that then just check it out yourself Click here.  So we know the police are not there to protect us, but they are there to enforce laws.  What laws do they enforce and why?  Well we know they enforce the laws that enable them to demand money from law abiding citizens. This is what happened to Fire Chief Don Payne, who spoke out against the extortion racket his town was running.  When the federal government and state budgets run short police stations find ways to get the funding they need from citizens.  We hear about it on the news and around town and in Jericho.
