Your Government is a Terrorist

I love what you say and how you say it except, in the end you are ... a Socialist? Government provide free healthcare, housing, food, everything? How do you see that working? The government doesn't provide anything, it just takes what it wants at the point of a gun. So, for the government to "provide" everything to everyone would mean forcing citizens to provide it to others at the point of a gun ... Right? Otherwise, this is a system of laziness until no one will do anything unless forced to. Everyone needs the incentive of gain, not force.

sharylee... no monetary system can survive without debt creation and taxation, otherwise it creates a zero-sum game with no losers nor winners. Money would systematically cease to be an incentive. I blog a lot about it. Just like Max said, the purpose of economics is control and artificial scarcity

I do understand the ponzy debt system we have but I don't understand how a government can provide everything for everyone. Without the means to force, there would be no government so it won't happen. Everyone would naturally provide for themselves and I can see that extending out to family, friends and community through good old fashioned bartering or other forms of exchange like gold, silver, crypto etc, but to say that the purpose of government to provide all needs for everyone without compulsion eludes me. If Max thinks people are capable of being so selfless they need no personal incentive to do anything is beyond fantasy.

oop sorry for late reply... but the system I speak of has no government and managed by earth custodians entirely voluntary. Competition will never generate any freedom at all but a society ruled by the fittest. Go to my blog and see my latest entry, a presentation that will be worth your time... and my YT channel if you seek more answers.

No offence but it sounds like to were able to miss the point entirely Sharylee.... You need to stop applying economics to your thinking. the economy is a fiction, we made it up. Money has zero to do with life and its use is superimposed over human consciousness for one reason. to create an environment of artificial scarcity. That is the sole purpose of money.

So how does this Government you speak of motivate people to provide everything for everyone without force? I'm pretty sure everyone will be busy providing for themselves and their own if they're free to.

as I said, it seems like to were able to miss the point entirely Sharylee.... stop applying economics to your thinking
