And this idea for me is the only problem I have had with no state and pure agorism.<BR/><BR/>Until I thought out of the box. See we can't be the police of the world and we cant be isolationist either.Once the collapse occurs and the rest of the world fallows.When people see how productive true free market really is they will fallow suit. <BR/><BR/>And during the transition stage a private army will be enough to stem the tide. When we are not the worlds police we would have so much extra assets for homeland private security forces.<BR/><BR/>sure we would have to man our nuclear weapons. But not all of them,just a few.Im sure we could find some people as trust worthy as say our government to do the job. And as far as technology goes,Im sure we could keep our edge or do even better than the government. we wouldn't lose defense contractors,they would be driven by the free market with less waste and fraud.<BR/><BR/>there would still be a market for advanced weapons.<BR/><BR/>But I believe that once the movement truly begins It wouldn't be long before it went global. People would feel empowered and realize that there is a way that their labor wouldn't be siphoned off. That they could really have something for the labor they gave forth. The playing field would be level for all people.<BR/><BR/>I like to have faith in man kind. And sure most people are under a trance right now. But there will come a time when the awakening will happen. and people everywhere will come to a higher level of understanding..<BR/><BR/>because if not we will surly destroy ourselves. And this whole movement can begin right here right now with people like us..<BR/><BR/>Sounds silly, but we have the opportunity to save the whole world,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Fritzfritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983396188852117197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-45580269452860604252008-12-24T01:17:00.000-05:002008-12-24T01:17:00.000-05:00I like your fnord posts, they are very interesting...I like your fnord posts, they are very interesting.<BR/><BR/>Patriotic soldiers fighting these wars for american ideals is tragic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-19409444648472781912008-12-23T18:33:00.000-05:002008-12-23T18:33:00.000-05:00Regardless of whether much of what they do is ille...Regardless of whether much of what they do is illegitimate, we need soldiers to defend the continent from foreign aggressors. Even if you got your way and the government collapsed, there would need to be a seamless transition from the military to some sort of "agorist continental defense" or you'd be learning Chinese after you got your way, and then wishing you could have the US government back. Who'd make up this defense if not the guys who are already doing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
