So, how do we decentralize this place, because there is way too much control at the state and federal level, and people are starting to act like people tied together, fighting and clawing for the right to live our own way?
Voting with your feet within the system we have now is a start. My wife and I moved to NH years ago for the FSP, and it's definitely been a step up from our home states of Maine and New Jersey. Obviously that doesn't help with Washington DC. In the long run, I don't think DC will reform until capital flight (to places more free and faster-growing than the US) cripples its finances. In the short run, capital is still fleeing into the US, not out of it, so I'm not optimistic for dismantling the special interests that feed on it.
@@AlecMuller voting is like being held under water, you're going to drown. It makes no difference. "Democratic" institutions set in place are built upon an illusion that you are a "free thinking, sovereign" individual. Corporatism is the neo-feudalism of the day, while the State is no more different then the monarchs and oligarchs of the old world of the past. There hasn't even been a truly free market utilized within our modern society yet. Labor is promoted as invaluable, products are developed from resources exploited from the our earth, consumers are disenfranchised to be forced to one option and business is concentrated to those entangled with government. The individual is garbage, the collective are serfs and those given power live like nobles. Politics is drama. Corporatism is communism. Abolish the State, privatize the industry and embrace competition.
I hate it when I have to correct someone that I generally agree with, but I can't let this one slide. Europe was never an economic backwater. It waxed and waned, yes, but so did ancient China, India, the Middle East, etc. At its height, the Roman Empire was the equal of dynastic China, in terms of economy, military, and land possession. And European technological advancement also tended to advance more rapidly than the rest of the world, the problem is that Europe had a tendency to lose technologies after great disasters like the fall of Rome. For example, they lost the ability to make Roman concrete that was used to make the great roads and aqueducts, which, yes, that's a really 'durr' moment in European history, but our technological progress continued to advance into the medieval ages. Large scale production firearms obviously changed the face of the world, and the proliferation of European firearms happened long before your 'great European miracle.' I mean, the ancient Greeks created what amounted to an ancient computer in the Antikytherian device... if anything the non Western ancient empires were less impressive than European civilization. But of course 'impressive' is a matter of personal opinion. But it peeves me when people who seem like they should know better go along with stupid globalist subversion.
What in the idea of covenant communities implies a State? Is it not possible to enter into contractual relationships where no party has a monopoly on interpreting the terms of the agreement or the facts of the case whenever there is a dispute? Is there no qualitative difference between a landlord and an absolute monarch?
A landlord is not inherently performing the active use of force against their tenants. It, without a state at least, is completely consensual. A king performing "law enforcement' violates the nap. A relationship between a king and his serfs is not consensual.
I think the argument advanced by Tom Woods, or more likely a guest of his I can't remember, saying that the US Govt would declare bankruptcy and they would be held responsible. I will look into it.
why do you need a government at all ? if you will say for the army protection, you are wrong, if the people are not restricted in what weapons you are can have, most of the people will be armed with all kind of weapons: from rifles to tanks and missiles and airplanes and war ships, believe me, their is more weapons in the hands of the people than in the army hands. USA army 2 million soldiers, USA people have about 450 million weapons from rifles to cannons. police are gestapo, and armed people can protect themselves and their property by themselves. "small government" always overstep the boundaries and become huge bloated socialist nightmare with tons of "laws, rules and regulations" the USA started as a "small constitutional government" and become the socialist nightmare it is. how can the people become sovereign if they have government ? why the government will serve the people ? they won't, they serve only themselves. the only solution is anarcho-capitalism=no ruler, only then the people will be sovereign.
The Founding Fathers misspoke when they referred to Government as a "necessary evil". It is actually an inevitable evil, so the framers tried their best to mitigate the tyranny that would arise from the human condition.
HOA is just another layer of government. Most HOAs are being run and controlled by the construction companies, thanks to the property owners association act in most states, lobbied for by construction company lobbies.
Your main problem is your adherence to your religion, statism. You are not talking about anarchy at all, just a reduction in the size of the slave unit.
Decentralism is the answer to most of 2020's madness
How will you fight off bandits like Baber Genghis Khan and Hitler.
@@swamivardana9911 That is like saying "If we dont have government centrally plan the growing of food, how will we all be fed?"
@@Rhygenix you have not ever known a cheap punk.
And
Without order you starve.
@@swamivardana9911 It appears you have never heard of spontaneous order. Go educate yourself before you say such ignorant things.
@@swamivardana9911 Lame boomer trolling.... (◔_◔)
Yep. Independent communities operating cooperatively is a great idea.
Government will protect you. The price is your life, indeed your soul.

"Free Private Cities" by Titus Gebel actually goes over this beautifully.

How can United States be sovereign with so much debt?
Good point. Who holds the most debt?
I think the argument advanced by Tom Woods, or more likely a guest of his I can't remember, saying that the US Govt would declare bankruptcy and they would be held responsible. I will look into it.
Because it has the world reserve currency and the largest military.
It's not.
@@ronpaulrevered Most of the debt is in the hands of the people in forms of social security etc 21 trillion or 71%.
