@TruthSandwich Nptice how your response totally ignores the valid point (corruption) and just attacks the invalid point as if it makes the whole invalid...

Neither of you are making good arguments.

@uspolitics As long as the democratic party collapses with it, absolutely... The idea of a democratic party being the only party sounds like the end of the USA... its horrible enough with just two major parties.

@pressure

That seems like a rather brain dead point of view since your basing it on one thread specifically about him... almost like you add no value to the conversation other than to troll for trolls sake... have fun with that, I have better things to do.

@realcaseyrollins @georgetakei

@realcaseyrollins That is probably the case. I am particularly critical of peoples morality and I hold them to it as an objective measure (you dont get a pass just cause all your peers are evil).

To me I think its just so many politicians are evil we just go "ok thats allowed its the norm for politicians"... that doesnt fly with me.

@realcaseyrollins yea but i never claimed he was **more** evil or uniquely evil.. He is just evil, other politicians are also evil

@realcaseyrollins

I love how these people jsut throw in adjectives to make shit sound like ther eis an issue... "uniquely" here.. he is evil, he is not unique.

@pressure @georgetakei

@thatguyoverthere

Correct. I dislike him because he is evil... please try and keep up

@realcaseyrollins @georgetakei

@gpowerf keep in mind its not about the key itself. Its actually kore about its position on the keyboard. To make it secure the keyboard would likely need to morph its shape

@niclas

>No. Morally speaking, they can't fight with others.

Well people are very much not moral, at least not all of them, and certainly not a majority. So if your only relying on morality to stop that, then im afraid the system can work IMO.

> Why wouldn't history repeat? Good question. That is asking for predicting the future.

Im not asking you to predict the future. But its happened hundreds of thousands of times across the globe every time where a no-rules group of people eventually formed individual communities and over time those evolved into goverments.

So unless your doing something different, and it doesnt sound like you are other than hitting the reset sqitch on governments. Then the only rasonable conclusion is youll get the same results int he end.

> The France revolution reverted to an emperor once, but not a second time. Why?

And yet not a single place int eh world has ever not formed into a single massive government you arent allowed to leave freely with.. like never, not in france or any other nation...

The way i see it if governments have always formed and become pervasive then there is simply no logical reason thinking doing it again will somehow not result in that same ending.

> I think that people are getting wiser to "rulers" and with equalization of fighting power through modern weapons it should be much harder to re-establish the State.

They might get wiser to rulers, sure, but your system still relies on rules, the commune is your ruler now and whatever rules they impose..

I can say this, if people in their currently mentality tried this, you'd have a national government back in place by the end of the week. PEople are violent and intolerant of other people with different views... cant see this working more than a few days at best.

@Darkayne

@gpowerf good :) Would have to be every few minutes though... doesnt take long to figure out the keys on a new keyboard.

@niclas

Ok so far answer... not much you could do, youll probably die, but might inspire change through your death... Ok not sure that is a desirable way for that to go down but ill accept that at least.

Ok so the main idea is, anyone can leave or join a commune at their own risk.. they may rape and torture you they may just be mean and let you go... who knows...

Ok sot hat makes these communes as small nations, they can set any rules, and internally support eachohter and potentially fight with other communes or trade with them.

Ok so what stops one commune from getting so large it takes over all the space, and this commune sets rules that you arent allowed to leave, but even if you could leave they take up the whole country now so it wouldnt matter... you are back at a counter.

This sounds like modern day countries just with extra steps and starting from scratch again... But the end result (As it always has been hsitorically) is 100% of space will be owned and controlled by countries (or communes as you state it).

@Darkayne

@niclas

NP being a non-anarchist Libertarian I have never really had a chance to hear how people might address the loopholes I see. So I appreciate hearing your perspective.

It is yet to be determined if i see it as workable or not, but i do think the discussion is usedul

@Darkayne

@niclas

Ues but I am talking about before you get to the point where you have your own crew and set off...

You are born to a deadbeat commune, they are abusive... by the time you are old enough to realize they are abusive you say "I wanna leave and find my own people I trust and start my own"... the others hear you aand go "fuck you" then lock you up in the basement and torture you.... Thats where you are at right now...

Explain either what would have prevented this from happening at all (some govt regulating whats right or wrong and saving you)... or, how you'd get out of it... Or is your scenario and world one where now you just die ?

@Darkayne

@niclas

How does that work when your locked in a basement of the evil commune and they are torturing you... you wont have any way to call or obtain someone to defend you, and you cant defend yourself... So shit out of luck and you just die your dropped your guard for a moment?

@modrobert @Darkayne

@niclas

> Murder can never be morally acceptable, since it is violence. Burglary is violence, theft is violence. Threat to hurt you unless you comply, is violence. And the above is with one large caveat; "unless it is defending against violence".
>
> Why is that so hard to get?

It isnt hard to understand, it also isnt what I asked or said.

> From my PoV, you can set up your commune with laws and rulers, and people can agree to obeying with threat of caging and death if they don't... as long as I and others are not required to live there.

Oh so you are actually all for governments that use for an coercion. So long as you can leave.

Ok so how is it inforced that they let you? I mean they decide according to their rules you arent allowed to leave cause they dont like your face and instead you will be tortured for life... Since you said the rule here should be that you are allowed to leave, so when that rule is broken, who, in your system comes in and forces that commune to let you go?

@Darkayne

@niclas

Ok so how do you deal with people who generally today are only handle with violence or coercion.

How do you stop someone who is harming or torturing another without using force?

Presuming you are ok with using biolence to prevent a greater violence then who gets to determine that? Is it a court? In which case your back to governments that use violence... Is it some ransom individual? In which case you are back to a mob applying that violence.
