“It’s not hard to imagine a scenario where foreign powers come in and loot our country worse than the globalists do today.”
This is known as Agoraphobia or fear of the outside or foreign places. The logic to retain a violent monopoly of aggression over our lives that retains the ability to extort, assault, rape, or murder us in order to prevent a foreign violent monopoly of aggression over our lives that retains the ability to extort, assault, rape, or murder us does not compute. This is similar to the physician refusing to treat his patient for hypertension because the patient may develop hypertension again in the future or the trainer who refuses to help a client tone up lest he become fat and flabby again in the future. One must not condone any violation of individual rights at any time. To do so is to accept being owned by master. To do so is to accept, to a certain extent, being a slave.
“Anarchism, like other idealistic belief systems, is a Utopian model.”
Any “government” or “ism” is the utopian ideal for some groups of people. The difference is all of these “governments” must exist by violence and coercion. They must force their edicts, laws, and mandates onto the people against their will and for their own good. This is the beginning of every oppressive totalitarian, communist, or socialist regime and the collapse of every great empire. Good ideas do not require force.
“Humanity has a long way to evolve before we are ready.”
Who determines this? You? I think you give far too much credit to the monopoly on initiated aggression known as “government”. It has done nothing for humanity. It has only brought bloodshed, suffering, violence, and war.
“As we have seen with Civil Rights, Gay Rights, cannabis legalization, and other mass movements – real change is possible and inevitable when people band together for common cause.”
It is my goal to educate people that these are but minor infinitesimal issues when compared with the over-arching notion of “government”. They are tilling the soil with a teaspoon when what they need is a metaphysical excavator.
Just do good things
A practitioner of Eastern Healing arts with degrees in Acupuncture and Chinese medicinal herbs, I have always questioned the status quo, a path which led me to peaceful anarchism. Through my journey, I have worn many hats, that of a classical pianist, avid chess player, philosopher, comedian, and now father of two little anarchists. My wife brands me as a Cultural Critic, but I am simply following my thirst for knowledge and passion for writing.
