Basic Anarchy Question

@PorpoiseMuffins

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding my question. A better way to phrase it is this: If anarchy works, then how is it that we don’t have it?

If a computer works so well, then why didn’t people have it in 300 B.C.?

The Irish did. The cartoon ‘The Jetsons’ is based upon tales of how advanced Irish society used to be. Then they invented whiskey…

The government has it perfect. Keep the poor poor, so they only concentrate on their Id, their immediate sustenance. Bribe the rich with incentives so Big business performs better with government involved. Overall, increase government dependence. Government jobs. Create boogeymen, like villifying big business, so semi-rich small businesses and middle class focus their energy on them. Then there are other boogeymen like terrorism and communism that are used as patriotism boosters. Creating problems to justify the government’s existence.

Saying all this I feel like I’ll be abducted in a black van in the middle of the night.

I think I also answered that question. The people in power have no reason to give it up. Educating the other 90% is hard. Getting them to agree that they have been lied to is even harder. Getting them to do something about it is near impossible.
