Spontaneous Order

Posted on July 1, 2014 by Danilo

Spontaneous order is the kernel of Voluntary Anarchy. Nature is replete with examples of successful, efficient, and beautiful systems existing without authoritarian rulers or masters directing their every detail. The human body at its most basic cellular relationships is a microcosm of Anarchy that is reflected at every expanded level to the macrocosmic level of the relationships between planets orbiting around a star, stars swirling around a galactic core, and galaxies dancing in wonderful harmony to each other. They all exist in a sweet state of chaos or entropy that never abandons certain inviolable laws of physics and celestial motion.

Lao Tzu in his seminal work Tao Teh Ching described this entropy as, “When the Tao is lost, there is goodness. When goodness is lost, there is morality. When morality is lost, there is ritual. Ritual is the husk of true faith, the beginning of chaos.” When one takes a cursory glance at nature one may only see unmitigated chaos, however upon closer inspection recognizable patterns based upon immutable laws emerge that belie this initial conclusion. Clouds do not form in perfect circles or squares yet there are patterns. Animals do not march in rigid single file lines yet there are patterns. The order that we have come to understand through our “government” schooling is in actuality, oppression and tyranny of free and peaceful individuals.

Our rulers genuinely understand that the concept of “government” is a one of the largest scams ever perpetrated on humanity. They understand that the Emperor truly has no clothes. They understand that “government” is entirely faith based and can only rule based on the tacit consent and obedience of the people. They understand that the swindle can only continue when the vast majority of the population remains in a perpetual state of hypnosis regarding its necessity. Open your eyes! Break the mental shackles! The lion sleeps no more!

The particulars of a spontaneous order cannot be just or unjust. Nature can be neither just nor unjust. Only if we mean to blame a personal creator does it make sense to describe it as unjust that somebody has been born with a physical defect, or been stricken with a disease, or has suffered the loss of a loved one.

Why Fight?

Posted on June 10, 2014 by Danilo

Here in this video, Alan Watts discusses the nature of warfare and how human beings have been led to believe that salvation and peace will magically rain down on our land if we kill innocent people we have never met and with which we have more common than with our own rulers. Everyday decent people do not seek out war or even use violence to solve problems in their daily lives. Even when they vote and petition their political masters to pass certain legislation, they do not think these actions through to their logical violent conclusions. They simply believe these are what sensible and good natured people do to make change. Nevertheless this ignorance does not change the fact that their well intentioned actions, through the empowerment of “government”, bring about the coercive violence that “government” uses to solve any and all problems.

Decent and good natured people join the military for various reasons. Some for a lack of funds to attend a university, some for the chance to “see” the world, some for the “discipline”, some to learn a trade, and many because they have been duped into the awe inspiring flag waving mental illness known as Nationalism. There are other more humane ways of “seeing” the world rather than by intimidating, subjugating, and killing the foreigners you meet there. This is more the behavior of a conqueror than a visitor. Those who join for the “discipline” should perhaps seek other less masochistic methods for attaining internal strength, as there are many. Those who join to learn a trade again do so at taxpayer expense and that of the unborn, a profoundly nefarious idea when you reflect on it deeply, especially if you have children of your own.

Those who join as a result of the mind altering delusion of Nationalism are by far the most dangerous. They are forthright in their proclamation that the piece of dirt they happen to occupy is the superior land and they must therefore engage, infiltrate, and destroy those that occupy other pieces of dirt who simply believe they are human beings deserving of equal self-respect and dignity. The first psychotropic drug that is Statism has led to more maiming, dislocation, and mass murder of countless people than have all the religions of the world.

Put down your guns. There is so much to live for. We are all on the same path. We all want to find love in our lives. We all want to support ourselves and our families. We all want to see our children grow up in a just and peaceful world. We all want our children to be well educated. We do not have black problems, women’s problems, Mexican problems, Muslim problems, Jewish problems, or homosexual problems! We have human problems because we are all human beings!

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

Voltaire

Seattle $15 Minimum Wage Will Cripple Their Economy

Posted on June 7, 2014 by Danilo

A bill is currently attempting to be passed in Washington to enact a statewide minimum wage of $15. This is sparking a lively discussion on the topic since it would effectively double of the current federal minimum wage of $7.50. Proponents of the minimum wage say this is necessary in order to keep up with inflation. They assert, “We need to get paid a living wage!” The inconsistencies with the minimum wage reasoning are threefold. The first is that all employees will be receiving this new and improved wage. The second is that wealth is created at a whim by political decree. The third is that dubious definition of the term “living wage”. The fourth is that inflation is a natural motion of a healthy economy.

The very existence of the minimum wage presupposes the erroneous notion that where it not for politicians we would all be making $1 per hour because “greedy capitalists could pay their employees any arbitrary amount of currency. The reality is all businesses exist in direct and indirect competition with other businesses over the acquisition of labor. It is this competition that determines the apropos market value of labor, not the “greedy capitalists”. It all boils down to skills. If you possess more skills you will get paid more as your value to the company is proportionately enhanced. Minimum wage laws only disrupt this natural self-correcting mechanism by introducing force and violence into an otherwise peaceful agreement between employer and employee.

If a worker is making the current minimum wage of $7.50/hour and is producing $10/hour of value to the company, this equates to $2.50/hour of profit for the company. If the new $15 minimum wage law is enacted this significantly changes the dynamics. Now the employer is forced to pay this employee $15/hour, however this employee is still only producing $10/hour of value, this equates to a net loss of $5/hour for the company. In order to stay in business the employer must either appreciably reduce his hours or fire him. If not then he will eventually go out of business. Businesses operate to make currency, not lose it.

The definition of inflation is an increase in the money supply. This can be through the mining of precious metals in gold/silver based economy, through the efforts of the small scale amateur basement counterfeiter, or through the massive legal counterfeit operations of a Central Bank AKA the Mandrake Mechanism, increasing the currency supply, or currency creation. The destructive repercussions of the first two are negligible in comparison to the elephantine effects of the latter. The colossal currency creation of the Federal Reserve, or legal plunder, is the real culprit for the distortions in the economy that produces the Boom/Bust cycles and has caused The Great Depression. Inflation is a symptom of a hijacked economy by a Fascistic group of elite bankers. It is antithetical to a healthy Free Market economy.

After all this we must conclude that it is not the politicians that create wealth, rather it is the multitude of workers and business owners who daily toil to create and innovate the products we cherish. Writing down a command on a piece of paper and then backing it with a gun does not ensure anything but unemployment, job displacement, poverty, and increased State dependency. Understand that politicians have never given anything to the people that they did not already possess. Everything “government” says is a lie and everything it gives was first stolen from someone else. Never forget that.

Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.

If You Were King

Posted on May 29, 2014 by Danilo

It doesn’t matter if you call yourself a member of the Democrat party, Republican party, Green party, Liberal party , Conservative party, or even Constitution party. If you seek to gain access and use of the greatest mafia in the land known as “government” then you are just another righteous do-gooder who thinks he knows what is best for everyone else and will use the guns of the State to achieve that goal by any and all means necessary. Even if you are a Constitutionalist and seek our “government” to shrink and only abide strictly according to the US Constitution, you are still advocating for the theft and violence that is justified by a piece of paper with ordinary words. By the way never in history have pieces of paper ever restricted the insane whims of genocidal megalomaniacs. Millions have died obeying and believing in the myth of “government” that this piece of paper warrants.

In Plato’s “The Republic” he speaks of philosophers as being the only suitable type of people to rule as king. The analogy is that just as conductors are ideal to lead the orchestra due to their general and extensive knowledge of all the instruments; so too are philosophers ideal to lead the people due to their general and extensive knowledge of human behavior. One vital flaw in this reasoning is that those who populate the orchestra voluntarily decided to join the orchestra and willingly perform under the direction of the conductor. The same cannot be said with people under the rule of “government”. Nobody asked to be born in a particular country and nobody signed a contract to abide by its commands and regulations. Nonetheless our “consent to be ruled” is implicit in our physical presence. Nowhere in any other relationship is this strange situation seen other than that of “government” and the governed.

As Stefan Molyneux would say, if you believe you can enter the leviathan that is “government” and turn it into a force for good, it is better that you start on a smaller scale first. Try to infiltrate the mafia and turn it into a charity. Try to infiltrate the KKK and turn it into a black brotherhood. Do that and I will believe you can turn the “government” into a force for good. Fail to do that and you are just another talking head who speaks in vague deceptions and insignificant tautologies. You are just another petty sociopath who believes he has the answers to all of life’s questions and everyone should live according to your limited understanding of the world.

If you really want to make a difference, then lead a life that is worth emulating. Lead by example rather than by decree. If you truly seek to change and improve the world, then first seek to change and improve yourself. People do not follow mere words, they follow virtuous deeds. Stop vying for the reins of power. Stop vying for use and control of the gun. Put the gun down. Surprisingly humans are more creative, loving, and compassionate when they do not have guns pointed at their heads.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

Supporting The Troops

Posted on May 28, 2014 by Danilo

Today is “Remember-the-hired-tools-who-died-while-murdering-raping-and-pillaging-third-world-countries-for-politicians-and-banksters” Day, AKA Memorial Day. It is quite tragic when young teenagers are snatched while still in their innocence and sent to be hired mercenaries based on lies and propaganda. Perhaps it could be rationalized as the logical extension to 12 years of “government” indoctrination, the culmination of an exciting career of being an obedient pawn of the State. Just as the State knows only brute force, coercion, and violence to solve problems; the same can be said for its hired attack dogs known as the police and the military. They are not agencies known for their tact, wisdom, and delicacy, nor do they attract those who possess any measure of intelligence. In fact police departments would intentionally reject any applicants due to their excessively high IQ. Increased intelligence does not harmonize well in a job of mindlessly obeying orders, often to the detriment of peaceful people.

Some may say, “But they died for our freedom! The fact that you can speak now is because they have died for your freedom of speech!” That may have been their initial noble reason for joining but as we all know; the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The result of their desire to help the innocent and protect our freedoms has been an undeniable disaster; perpetual warfare since World War II, genocide, mass murder, fiat currency creation, crippling debt, indiscriminate drone strikes in multiple countries, 900+ military occupations, collateral damage, millions displaced, destruction of infrastructure, fomentation of anger and hatred for the US to name just a few. The US military interventionist acts of aggression throughout the globe have solidified its position as the only true terrorists and the primary threat to freedom everywhere. What started out as the smallest mafia on the planet, the US “government” has swelled to gargantuan proportions eclipsing the horrors of Communist China, Soviet Russia, and Nazi Germany.

Freedoms and rights are not inherited notions. They are not granted to those who politely ask. They are taken by those who demand them by their words and defend them by their actions. If a man tells you he wishes to protect you from other evil men by extorting more currency from your pocket and by limiting your freedoms; then you must consider the distinct possibility that your protector is, in fact, your oppressor. Every tyrant in history who committed unspeakable atrocities emerged onto the political scene not as a tyrant but as a savior or protector.

The Nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.
