How I Became an Anarchist And Why You Should Too (AKA: We're All Born Anarchists)

It will always evolve into an oligarchy. A group of narcissists who feel they truly are superior will always try to rule over the many. It is a case that has repeated itself time and time again throughout human history. We can even see it today.

It has also NOT existed in many periods and places, and nothing about the past is pre-determining about the current or present, especially since we are in the ONLY time that things like mass communication, 3D printing, etc. exist. It's like saying that because a young child has never walked, that somehow means it will never be able to walk.

That is why we need laws to control such feudal tendencies in the minds of men.

You are falling into the standard statist fallacy. If humans are inherently bad and need to be controlled, then there CANNOT possibly be the mechanisms of government, because those bad actors will always take control of those systems. If humans are inherently good, then there is simply no reason to ever create those systems.


As soon as you refer to the mythology of the "founding fathers", we've left honest discussion and moved into religious beliefs. The "founding fathers" were mostly complete statists, and had no interest in creating more freedom, simply in replacing the king with themselves.

My comment about them owning slaves had nothing to do with the global slave trade, and that is unrelated to this conversation.

The constitution they passed includes the Bill of Rights

It was also fraudulently passed to allow them to take control of the continent because the Articles of Confederation did not allow for taxation, standing military, etc.

We most certainly wouldn't be talking on Steemit.

Because these kinds of tools never existed before, reinforcing my point that we have no lack of something in the past means that we can't accomplish that thing now or in the future.
