Jehalapeno I’m under no illusions - I do not believe an anarchist utopia is a realistic possibility. However, I think chipping away at the power of the state and supporting a culture of gradual decentralization is the most moral approach to politics.
Yep, we talked about this in one of my Political Science Classes.
“Excessive Size of the Social Unit is the Primary Cause of Tyranny, due the growth in government power that it breeds”
I said it many times, there is no doubt that decentralization of Nations States would solve 99 percent of the world’s problems, but it will be impossible for this to ever happen unless some Supreme Being that was just and wise would intervene in human affairs.
The reason being is because if one Nation State like the USA decided to decentralize into small societies, other Nation States like China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, etc., would take advantage and try to invade and conquer the divided USA.
That idea of decentralization was what sounded appealing about the ideology of the Watchtower. The idea that all nations would be govern by some Divine Being that was Just, and righteous.
That’s the problem with politicians, not just in the USA but all over the world. In the case of the USA for instance, Trump has very good goals for the Country. To end war, to make the economy more fair and better for the average citizen, to make America Great Again.
But as the saying goes; “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”
“Unlimited Power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty”
Will Trump keep his word? Or will something cause him to change and make a complete turn around?
This was the most disappointing thing to realize once I woke up from the Watchtower Fantasy of a God intervening to set things straight.
Our lives are in the hands of Humans……...most whom are idiotic and just plain stupid.
