Politicians, Let Me Be

Our economy is truly what makes us free. Without it we are thrown into a world where something we have depended on our whole lives is suddenly gone. We are forced to fend for ourselves, thrown back into the wild, made to do basic things like find food and water. When the economy is functioning well, we are better off and are able to spend more time doing whatever we want.

The cave man's life pretty much was horrible. No fast food, barely any leisure time, at the whim of nature. Mankind lasted for 2 million years in that miserable condition, don't you think we owe it to ourselves to at least be happy now? But then came the State, and a whole new form of bondage rose up to make us miserable again.

The economy itself is just property ownership (property meaning land, goods, your body, etc.). Someone has to own the property in order for society to function, and the owner decides what happens to the property. As a result people generally find it beneficial to set up voluntary agreements whereby they work together with their property. The State is a violation of this utterly basic principle. At the end of the day it is always a violation of property. Whether it is your body, your stuff, the set precedent of being able to use force against you, the theft called taxes, the prohibition of private arbitration for crimes, etc., the State violates property and as a result violates voluntary agreements between individuals. Every justification for the State is a lie, even if the politician spewing it believes what he is saying.

You can literally go through and analyze every government intervention and see how it creates the problem it is vowing to solve. War on Drugs? Promotes gangs. War on Poverty? Creates poverty. War on Terror? Bolsters recruitment. Civil rights laws? Allow for violations of property rather than protection of persons. Patent laws? They hurt innovation. Anti-trust laws? Promote monopolies. Government is always a disservice, a reaffirmation of the social contract which allows them to violate property in the name of "benefiting society." As they leech off society over time they create more and more problems thus providing even more justification for continual growth in both size and power. What is this power? Is it in the guns? In the politician's hands? It is in their ability by social contract to control the manner in which their minions violate property. The politicians don't even violate property themselves. They depend upon a vast workforce of people who do it for them. All politicians do is manipulate the social contract through legislation and use already existing precedents to demand the violation of property. No wonder they become so corrupt, what could be more against intuition than feeding off society by manipulating people and their property. I'm really stressing the property part here.

The corruption spreads out and emanates from the State and infects every corner of society and our psyches. Through its necessary lies required for justification, the State creates a reality that is vastly different from that which our intuitions alone would create. Violations of property destroy the very fabric of natural human society and corrupt the people involved. What could be more innate than property ownership?

The controlled media oligopoly cheapens our culture. Technological development is slowed or resources are diverted for the development of weapons of offensive war. People are needlessly thrown into government cages. Lives are ruined every day by prosecutors. We live in a society which thinks "politicians" are stand up Christians and people in the free market sector are greedy or potentially dangerous and criminal. Another shining example of living every day as opposite day here in State-land.

Government is bondage for every one. We need them. We need basic services which only government can provide, and thus we are stuck with this tax burden. We have to deal with their imperfections because they hold society together. We have to let someone violate property in order to protect it. All lies. Property can only be protected through private protection and private arbitration. Violations will always occur, but at least they won't be institutionalized. If we grew up in a stateless society people would find the idea of government pretty disturbing and insane because that society would be built upon honesty and respect for property instead of lies and an attack on our every intuition.

Now, in the dying days of the empire, we are about to experience severe economic problems which mean severe political upheaval and chaos. A lot of people are probably going to suffer as a result, all because of this unnecessary burden of the State which, by creating the monopoly on money creation called the private federal reserve, has constructed an economic house of cards built on deceit which could collapse at any moment. Maybe that is why they are building concentration camps and buying railway cars with shackles in them. They probably expect massive political chaos and want to make sure that they can oppress us and try to force their "crisis averting" decrees upon us. What will it be? Food shortage? Water shortage? Oil shortage? Are we going to have to live a lower standard of life and ration everything? Are we going to have to give up all property rights we have left? Will the State control every facet of our lives to protect us from the economic shambles they have manifested? That is after all what the State mechanism does, usurp property into State control. Maybe if they got out of the way of the free market we could get on living our lives, is that really so much to ask? The State is sending us back into the wild by killing the economy and will probably prey upon the chaos to usurp more power. Liberty could suffer as a result, but maybe, just maybe, people will wake up and blame can be put in the correct direction. We could even come out from this on top, who knows, maybe people are going to be finally fed up with this thing called the State. It is possible that the critical number of people has been reached by Ron Paul's efforts and others whereby the coming collapse may actually bring about a mass awakening from the confusion of the State-made reality.
