There is No Such Thing as "Good Government" (and There Never Was)

Stop voting and wake up to the fact that you can rule yourself.

Any violent overthrow will just lead to the installation of a new tyrant. Any political process will just lead to the installation of a new tyrant. This will always be the case so long as enough people believe that they need masters.

    "This will always be the case so long as enough people believe that they need masters."

    Not necessarily. Suppose a technology arises that allows people to shield their wealth from taxation. (I'm looking at you, crypto-tech!) Even if an individual believes masters are needed, he probably won't voluntarily fund them if tech makes taxes effectively voluntary.

    Here's an article I wrote years ago titled The Revolution Will Be All Business:

    That's true. Technology may play a role in helping us secure our freedom.

      I agree. So why is it that we throw off the yoke of oppression only to become complacent yet again, and thus start the whole process over once more. At what point do we as a people transcend our own foolishness?
