There's no ideal solution. No utopia for you, sorry. Not in your lifetime, or in a lifetime of your kids. Only thing you can do is to steal/earn enough for yourself and those that are close to you, and live happily ever after in some remote corner, as far as you can be from any government. People are competitive by nature, they work in their own interests, and there are too many people with too many interests. It's logical that given the power you usurp that power. If someone is delusional enough to believe in some greater good, this is only a stage in his life, until a point where his delusions are replaced with common sense, coming in terms with his needs.
Unless the entire generation of youth believes in the same delusion.

A question: once government is out of individual control, how do individuals stop it from evolving into fascism/communism without taking control of it again?
Anarchy, complete nature and balance.

Even if you raise all that generation as your kids, teaching them to be good and all, and giving all attention needed - there will be conflicts and it will go out of control. People will fight for money, for power, for space. It's human nature.

If you altruistically give give and give, there will be those who'll get used to take take and take. You will get tired of giving it to people like that, and stop - they will get angry at you for stopping, and fight among themselves for scraps, or even attack you. If we build something together, one of us will get tired/annoyed/bored faster than others and will sabotage our hard labor. If one of us works harder than others, he would want to receive better payment than others.

Only possible way would be to clone same guy over and over, and brainwash him - so there's uniformity. Unachievable otherwise.

If it's more beneficial to co-operate with others then that's what most people will do.  This whole thing about anarchy being chaos and survival of the fittest is a complete myth.   The few that decide they want to steal and kill will find themselves outnumbered by the many and subject to being rounded up by security.

If government is, for the most part, a monopoly protection service (ie. racket) then an anarchic situation would have competitive protection services that aren't tied to the land.  ie. you are free to choose your level of protection rather than the one size fits all and you are forced to pay.  

It's human nature for psychopaths to kill and steal.  But they are a small percentage of the population.  Most people want decent lives where they look after their children, have fun with friends, etc.  They don't want a situation where week after week they are thinking about who they are going to have to steal from this time, planning it out, and quite likely having to commit at least one murder in the process.  I don't know about you but most people I know would find that lifestyle horrifying.   No, what people do when they form communities is they start getting the market process, division of labour going for the benefit of all.  Yes, there are always psychopaths that seek to benefit from this but even they don't want a complete breakdown because they know their lives would be much harder.  It's much easier with an abundance of products to steal what you want.   The psychos would be easier to deal with in an anarchic society, unlike the current situation where we put them in government and ask plead with them to be nice, lol.

This is why anarchism cannot occur right now; it's often believed that anarchism is the result of failed government, but this is not true; totalitarianism is the result of failed government.  A people who can self-govern on a national level become anarchists; a people who become entirely dependent on the state become fascists.  Our slow drift into fascism in America is a result of people becoming progressively dependent, which is the exact opposite direction we want to head if it's good progress we're seeking; we want to be free and independent, not enslaved and dependent.

For anarchism to occur, we need a world of rational actors, fit with enough intelligence and maturity to handle themselves without a state, and doubly so to prevent the sociopath from rising to power, as he will always try no matter how far along we've come as a species; the state does not enable society, society enables the state, and enables it varying on how individualistic its citizenry is.  People who seek a small state are almost there, and as I'm sure you've seen, they're gradually becoming a majority; people who seek a huge state cannot trust even themselves, so it comes to no surprise that this is projected onto others.

The state will always occur in a society of irrational people, because they'll always be duped by the sociopaths into believing they cannot survive without it (in the same way we once believed God was necessary in life and the fear of not having him was too great to abandon; rational thinking disposed of this idea in a great many, and increasingly every day.)  Thus, the beginnings of anarchism, a fairly new idea when compared to the state and likewise relevant to the beginning of man's focus on rational thought, will be seen as a natural shift from the state so long as rational actors remain vigilant, and continue to train others in the rational method.  Though you and I can see why this is the preferable method of governance, it can often look like gibberish to others due to this effect.

Only possible way would be to clone same guy over and over, and brainwash him - so there's uniformity. Unachievable otherwise.

This observation, albeit consistent with religion and politics, remains inconsistent in atheism; nobody is brainwashed into believing atheism, and most atheists become so on their own even with a religious upbringing.

If this is true, can we not assert that atheism is the product of rational thinking?  In other words, if you've never been exposed to another atheist and you can still come to the same conclusions, whilst, in comparison, the only way to become a Christian is through other Christians, then we can assert that atheism (weak atheism anyway) is the rational conclusion on the concept of religion.

Looking at this another way: I give you a logic tool.  You use this tool in thoughts about religion and come to a conclusion.

What are the chances that you've reproduced Hinduism?  What are the chances you've reproduced atheism?

This same line of thinking can be applied to morals and ethics; the more this tool spreads, the more uniform people are, for they always seek the best methods of interaction, not the "traditional" methods.  Thus, conclusions such as "do not aggress" become very popular in people with this logic tool, while conclusions like "might is right" die gradually with nobody to preach it.

Your logic is coercive! Wink

I did see a typo though...
If man is incapable of governing himself, man is incapable of governing others.  Ergo, either anarchism is possible or we are ruled not by mortal moral men.

It seems that even a germ of government (small government if you will) will essentially grow in time to larger and larger government.  People can try and bind the government in a constitution, but there will always be people in government eager to grow the government and expand it's power.  They will push at the edges to see what they can get away with at first.  There are always loopholes.   People for the most part let things go, it's too much trouble to make a fuss with the government for most people, especially when they've got all the issues in their own lives to deal with.  Eventually, government becomes a runaway train, taking over more and more aspects of people's lives, by which point it's too late to apply the brakes.    As government takes over people's lives, more and more become dependent on it, which leads to a feedback process.  Govt grows, more people become dependent, govt needs to expand further to cope with them, which leads to more people becoming dependent and so on.

Even if we can get to a point where government is small again, it will only be a temporary period in time.  


The state will always occur in a society of irrational people, because they'll always be duped by the sociopaths into believing they cannot survive without it (in the same way we once believed God was necessary in life and the fear of not having him was too great to abandon; rational thinking disposed of this idea in a great many, and increasingly every day.)  Thus, the beginnings of anarchism, a fairly new idea when compared to the state and likewise relevant to the beginning of man's focus on rational thought, will be seen as a natural shift from the state so long as rational actors remain vigilant, and continue to train others in the rational method.  Though you and I can see why this is the preferable method of governance, it can often look like gibberish to others due to this effect.


Yep, it's just keep bashing away at people's belief in government.  The one thing people like you and me will be able to say, if the ideas come to fruition in our lifetime, is that we were in on the ground floor.  (well, maybe the first floor  Smiley  ).

And just knowing that you have the right philosophy is a huge relief.  I used to be on the left, but there were always some things about the left that made me feel uncomfortable.  The right was never an option.  Even as a small government minarchist I wasn't completely comfortable.   Now, I feel comfortable and at ease with the anarchist philosophy.

In my opinion, government can be distilled down to its essence in 3 statements:

1) Protect citizens' right to health & peace. This includes (A) preventing violent crimes and (B) ensuring that knowledge of the effects of substances on humans' health is public knowledge.

2) Protect the citizens' right to own. This includes preventing theft and ensuring enforceable contracts are properly enforced.

3) Provide services that are necessary to uphold the above to responsibilities without being forced to grant excessive power to a private business. For example, to enforce contracts, a dispute resolving system is needed.

I'm wondering if people here generally agree that government should be restricted to the above.

Sort of a short list isn't it?

4. Protect citizens right to exist as a community via border controls and work permits. 

5. Protect citizens right to live in the style of community they via via planning laws and zoning permits.

6. Act collectively for citizens in things like education and health.



I just played a brilliant game where government had control over these things and business and more, where you work as the guy who sees who's allowed in the community or not at a national checkpoint, check it out: Papers, Please

A question: once government is out of individual control, how do individuals stop it from evolving into fascism/communism without taking control of it again?

The best way to is to use a calendar.  There hasn't been a fascist coup or a communist revolution since Nicaragua in 1979.  Based on this, we can stop worrying about them and worry about inefficient and/or unfree systems.

Fascism is when big business and government are in bed together.   Kind of looks like we have fascism now it's just that they don't deliberately use that name any more.  An obsession with security is one of the key features of socialist/fascist/communist systems.

On that basic, all government is fascism which creates a need for a new word in the dictionary.  What do you want to call the movements led by the likes of Hitler, Franco and Mussolini that the rest of us call "fascist?"

Not all governments.  Just most of the ones of today.  Democracy always eventually devolves to fascism.  It's just how it works.

I think trash is such area where free market can work, with proper regulation. That is hefty penalties when trash is dumped where it shouldn't be...

I support regulations in areas where natural monopols can form... Water, sewage and electricity...

Anarchy, complete nature and balance.

Even if you raise all that generation as your kids, teaching them to be good and all, and giving all attention needed - there will be conflicts and it will go out of control. People will fight for money, for power, for space. It's human nature.

If you altruistically give give and give, there will be those who'll get used to take take and take. You will get tired of giving it to people like that, and stop - they will get angry at you for stopping, and fight among themselves for scraps, or even attack you. If we build something together, one of us will get tired/annoyed/bored faster than others and will sabotage our hard labor. If one of us works harder than others, he would want to receive better payment than others.

Only possible way would be to clone same guy over and over, and brainwash him - so there's uniformity. Unachievable otherwise.
Luckily for us we are all the same person.  Once we all realize this, it shouldn't be hard to respect one another and achieve equality.  Anarchy requires people to evolve on a conscious scale to treat all other beings as their self.  People could fight for power, but the population would regulate people who thrive power, because nature is against those who seek power.  Money ideally would not exist in an anarchist society, to keep people free from greed/power.

This is nothing but a childish dream. Also money = convenience.

If medical treatment costs 10 sheep.
And 100 sheep are equal to an elephant.
Would you cut 1/10 off your elephant to go see a doctor?

And if someone in power gets thrown out, it's only for someone to get in his place. And you have to have someone important for all the risky decisions, which you cannot wait for people to make a mass vote or something. All this anarchy talk is useless, we should be talking about making current systems more manageable to live in, not daydreaming about something else.

I'm happy to read there are many people here who support the ideas of old liberals like Swiss Benjamin Constant. Government should not have a goal, but a purpose. It's essentially to protect everyone's civil liberties, and to guarantee the freedom to express your talent. Nothing more.

I'm adding a simple idea.

A good government shall be close to a concierge in a large building. Making sure the alleys and the stairs are clean, and preventing some tenants to be loud at night, but most of the time staying silent and not interfering in any way in people's lives.
