This blog entry is dedicated to everyone who has argued with me as a statist or as an anarchist. I’ve tried defending both point of views. This is the result. Many thanks to, Adam Kokesh, Brian from High Impact Flix, Lord Coondog, Ida Foxy Queen, and even indirectly Larken Rose.
My mind is free. Do you want the Red Pill too? We may have found the One already. His name is Adam Kokesh and he’s running for president in 2020.

But Do you want to dispel the illusions of government as well?? If so, Keep reading.
Freedom requires fealty to absolute morality. The camels nose of “Exceptions” from absolute morality, even for great benefits, destroys it all.
The need for Government is an illusion created and perpetrated by those who mean to rule over others.
If you’re searching for “how” to fix government, your question is premature. The first question should be “why”. Once you truly come to terms with “why” and if it’s not to get free stuff at the expense of others, you’ll want voluntarism instead, as the norm. When you’re ready to become free then you’ll also be ready to spread the good news; and eventually the consensus you worked to build and defended as a statist, so fervently, will naturally build a consensus of voluntarists.
You’ve been searching for a better way. Somehow you knew deep down inside that that political consensus building aimed at taxation to fill public coffers, deprives everyone of their money and property. That feeling is where we begin to explore the illusions of consensus. The illusion of the consent of the governed vs the pained reality of absolute morality.
Eventually, peacefully and naturally, we will create the “How”; and the creation will be based on absolute morality instead of the concepts of conquest and force of arms, as is the norm today.
Absolute morality is unconditional respect for other people’s lives, property and treasure; not to protect them from themselves. Not to expect that if enough people say it’s ok to take anything from another person that it’s really ok, legitimate or moral. The act of Causing Involuntary sharing is not altruistic, legitimate or even close to moral. Call me selfish? I’ll call you a fool because altruism is the back bone of absolute morality.
All of my contemplation of opposing concepts of conquest and voluntarism have finally come to a head.
Voluntarism has won. Morality exists. It’s real. And It can be found in books. For me, it started with Adam Kokesh’s Book FREEDOM to gain an insight into self ownership and then on to even more books and videos on Anarchy, Voluntarism, Agorism, and Libertarianism. There is a library of books to choose from. To learn to be free... Have at it!
But, In all of these books we can find Concepts to live by but no perfect blueprint to make it happen. That has to come naturally as a grass roots, peaceful rebellion, against being ruled as subjects of an empire.
If we could already conceive how to create the perfect government we would have it already. If we could already conceive how to create a totally voluntary society we would have one.
Since there is no perfect government, we should not have any. We must be personally and simply governed by the absolute morality described above and in more detail in books.
Codified Statutes do not determine morality and cannot be micromanaged by codes and ordinances. Absolute morality is necessary for true freedom to flourish.
Everything I hear statists present, and I use to present myself, are all in line with the indoctrination of us by our school systems. Sorrowfully most of us do not even recognize that the current paradigm is based on conquest and force of arms; accepting them as the norm and fighting for them without even realizing why! They do so while making up as many straw-man arguments to defend the violence and its benefits, as there are people on Earth.
While all of the fearful concepts of “Human Nature” are real, and the law of the jungle exists; kill or be killed; it exists because our society still respects the Right and Rule of Conquest and Conquistadores.
George Washington and his merry band of thieves conquered the territories of the United States, by force of arms, treaty and purchase, but instead of another monarchy, the founding fathers gave themselves a republic that is supposed to respect people’s lives, property and treasure. It never has though, immediately instituting taxation to pay the war debts. And property taxes as protection fees from the indigenous claims; and whiskey taxes to operate the extortion racket of an Empire that should have never been created in the first place. ( The Federalists usurped the power).

Which is exactly why “the One’s” plan for centralized management of property/resources is illegitimate, in view of Voluntaryist property ethic.

Well, @adamkokesh can't free us but if he reaches enough people with the truthful message, the people could free themselves.
There's virtually no ill we face that is not a result of government. Dismantling the Federal Government is the only answer I can see. It's the primary instrument used by the elite to control the people and use them to steal and murder, all for a paycheck and perhaps a belief in an illusion.
Adam's leading the charge on spreading this message and I'll help him anyway I can to spread the word to get folks to question whether government should be allowed to exist at all.
I'm definitely voting no to government. Man governs man to man's own injury. ( I don't know where I got that quote from)
oh, btw, great post. :)

He’s not spreading the message, but changing it. He already has, and is attempting to use an illegitimate, violence-based state mechanism to bring about peace, and the end of state mechanisms. It’s not only absurd, it’s detrimental to the real message of sound property and self-ownership, and further perpetuated the myth that we need some sort of “political hero” to bend the rules within the system and save us. As his plan necessitates the violation of individual self-ownership, it is not legitimate in view of Voluntaryist principle.

Adam plans to implement centralized policy based not on individual self-ownership or free market conceptions of property, but on arbitrary deliberataion made by himself and a centralized group of “custodians.” Full stop. Your superficial understanding of what it means to me to be an anarchist is limiting your ability to raise any sort of valid counterpoint in this discussion to points I have raised.

I really like how you think and I respect you a lot! I just cannot support anything that supports a position philosophically antithetical to individual self-ownership. Kokesh is not a Voluntaryist, but a politician.

Love the passion you bring here, just love it! "the founding fathers gave themselves a republic that is supposed to respect people’s lives, property and treasure. It never has though"
Been ruminating on very similar line of thinking today as folks blow up fireworks and celebrate an America based on subjugation nd inequality. We are duped into collusion and are ignorant to the wider scope of reality that has us action WAy out of whack of morality. The land of the free and the home of the brave is a great line in a song, but in reality the ruling class is cowardly oppressing the freedom of the citizens.
But where would all the $ for war come from if not from taxes and the "justice" system... Haha we live in a strange world and am glad you're bringing some juice here in this post. thanks for sharing.

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. Mark Skousen

Interesting way to put it. Taxation: “The price we pay for failure”. But that kind of legitimizes the conquest. It’s like, don’t fail or the gators are waiting to eat you, this thinking accepts the role of the gators because “it’s their nature”, can’t blame the gator. But the people who collect taxes, aren’t gators. They’re humans trained to be gators. If you get my drift.

Well put. Also this "we" bothers me. Like it is the burden we are supposed to carry together. I'm civilized and fuck off. Go tax yourself ;)

I'd be wary of this. To unconditionally respect other people's lives, property, and treasure is to be a pacifist, as it undercuts an justification for defense of self and property. One can be a voluntarist without being a pacifist, and I'd argue being a pacifist is counter-productive in the extreme.

Point Taken. Replace with “unjustified” ? But that takes back to exceptions.... any suggestions?
