Voluntaryism 101 - Lesson #1: "Law Enforcers"
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- I thought it might be good to make a few short videos quickly describing the foundation of voluntaryism, for all those people who are new to the ideas, and who might feel lost and confused the first time they find themselves in a discussion about them.
This first lesson is about "law enforcement."
-----------------
My book, "The Most Dangerous Superstition," can be purchased here:

The bottom line is this: you don't need any special title or badge to do something morally good. But you damn well need one to get away with something evil and unjust.
Amen to that!
@Jay Gee Not as hard as some want to make it....
Truth is what it 💯is....
@Jay Gee morally good, is naturally engrained into the “morally good” people, which is the majority.There is no need for a “foundation” or “law” that dictates what is, or what isn’t morally good. The foundation is already a given. It’s that simple. If anyone disagrees with that, or believes it to be a bit more complicated than that. Then they should probably ponder and assess their own morality. Because they might just find themselves to be in the immoral category, and didn’t realize it.
@Jason Shults succinct, yes.
I’m proud to say that I’m a criminal. I have a secret underground shop in Houston where we sell limburger cheese and we’re only open on Sundays. When I go to Galveston my favorite thing to do is sit on the sidewalk. Yes, these are 2 crazy laws still on the books. Damn it feels good to be a gangster!
Oh no! I went to Galveston and sat on the sidewalk for like 5 minutes! Daddy, are we going to jail? Where do I turn myself in?
You ANIMAL!!!!! :)
Thank you for your service.
@@jebediahkerman8245 report to TDC (Texas Dept. of Collections). I hereby sentence you to life on the plantation without the possibility of parole. May God have mercy on your soul.
I lift Houston permanently specifically because of the shitty cops.
“the voluntary society is the source of order that comes from freedom itself. There is no contradiction or even tension between liberty and security. If free enterprise works well in one sector, it can work well in other sectors too.”
- Gustave de Molinari
"Consent is the litmus test by which all morality is measured."
- K. R. Hoffman
Liberty and security are diametrically opposed.
Securitys platform is fear and being scared of everything starting with yourself...
Liberty is the opposite.
@@getredytagetredy lmfao, myself and my property are very secure and I don't have to give up any liberty. I also take care of my own security and don't rely on the illusion of security the state provides. It's called having personal responsibility and principles. It's about being able to defend yourself. If you don't have the right to defend yourself you don't own your own body or life. I would rather die on my feet than to live one minute on my knees.
I absolutely respect and admire LR’s clarity of thought. His book, The Most Dangerous Superstition, is amoung my top 10, of 5 thousand.
Nice! I just downloaded it, thanks for the recommendation. Enjoying his content
Thanks. I was not sure if it was worth buying. I am very strong supporter of what he preaches about with this type of lifestyle VS the way it is now under gov.
I bought 10 and gave away 9. One of my favorites as well.
If you find a copy of 'The End of Evil' for less than 5k lemme know.
you read 5 thousand books?
Ooh! Right up my alley.
I'm a little disappointed to hear that because I like your channel. Voluntaryism/American libertarians and AnCaps especially, are more often than not a stepping stone towards pretty crazy ideas. I mean like, abolish age of consent laws...the government shouldn't force parents to care for kids they didn't want, ie let them starve, not clothe or shelter them....or that parents should be allowed to sell an unwanted child. I'm not even kidding. Also a lot of fascists, neo-nazis identify as Ancap or libertarian.
They also don't have a good understanding of the law, politics and/or economics most of the time.
For example, what's wrong with taxes really? Yeah they suck. I'll agree with that. But they fund schools, roads, assistance for poor people, etc.
& the last part he's talking about having to do something about thieves & rapists, etc.. Like their own Ancap police force would really be cops that would be worse than the cops we have now & there would be no accountability whatsoever, no recording them, no FOIA requests for anything relating to them.
I almost got caught up in that American libertarian/voluntaryist/Ancap bullshit when I started getting more serious about politics, law & understanding my rights...& I am soooo glad I didn't get too far into it. I'd received some extremely bad advice on my rights & the laws from them. I got lucky & discovered the left. I don't mean liberalism or the democrats, which are actually center right - but the real left. I haven't looked back since. It's not all communists, socialists or whatever like the right & center right wants you to believe. Most of the right/center right intentionally misuses those words constantly anyway. Voluntaryism/American libertarians/Ancaps are very much right wing, just like your conservatives, & all the hate groups....I hope y'all can realize all this one day.
I love being a Voluntarist. Thank you for your detailed analysis. Pura Vida from Costa Rica.
PENDEJO (*_*)
@Jason Shults Use your big IQ to help teach them.
You have the patience of a saint, sir. You again and again explain, with enthusiasm, what must be the most mundane thing for you to explain, even though you've literally published books and all kinds of other media doing just that. God love you Mr. Rose.
i get wayyy too frustrated.
Officers like politicians start the authority and greed trip and their expansion never ends
Once upon a time... neighbors would gather at the house of the offender and then the offended didnt offend again, or just left in peace. Thanks for video O:)
that's what we need to do again!
Should be done again.
Mark Passio's presentation, "The Cult of Ultimate Evil" brought me here. Keep up the great work and spread the message, all!
Mark Passio opened my eyes a few years back. I'd love a podcast/interview between Larken Rose and Mark Passio. Both are geniouses. Maybe Mark Passio could open up Larken Roses eyes to the spiritual side of Natural Law, Satanism which is nothing but statism.
I personally also refer to statism as institutionolized psychopathy or "secular" satanism.
Psychopathy, satanism and statism are synonyms to me.
@@LordHST if i were to sum up this conflict older than history itself, i'd use the story of christ as "the selfless individual vs selfish collectivism." No esoteric terms needed, tho they are great to know. If i were to point a philosophic(?) pov it'd be carl jung & the undiscovered self
Order followers aren't virtuous.
Order followers are scared of themselves...
They are the toe dippers.
Then complain about every thing they cant control.
Their best friend is a kneepad...
I totally agree. Natural Law is the only law. Inherent, inalienable and self-evident.
A few of us refer to cops as:
5 year olds with guns and badges.
Ever see the tantrum a cop starts off with when you disagree with one?
Well, you know what happened to the ones in wwll who said we we're just following orders. Still haven't learned.
You mean all the American, Canadian and Soviet soldiers who shot German and Japanese prisoners?
That only happens to the side that loses the war.
@@sonofclay exactIy this.
@@thisisreallyorganic how about the pilots that bombed Hamburg, Dresden, Berlin, Tokyo with incendiaries and Hiroshima + Nagasaki with WMD's. Those and all involved should also have been convicted for crimes against humanity.
@@PrioroftheOri0013 The pilots were all duped. But yes, incendiary bombing of civilians was a crime, just like Israel's deployment of white phosphorus. Meanwhile, Churchill had wanted to use Anthrax.
Cops in my town refused to enforce the lockdowns, they earned some respect from me there. In Michigan
@Stewart Passmore IKR , or what if they catch you driving faster than they want you too?
@@ms.anonymousinformer242 this, not even faster than allowed. Just got yelled at for being in a different lane and driving slightly faster than a cop, 65 me 63 him, while on a multiple lane highway. Of course it wasn't because i was driving over the speed limit like he was saying but that i had the audacity to mind my own business and treat him like a fellow driver and just keep my eyes forward. Just pulled me over and started yelling at me about why i think its ok to drive 5 over and that it was rude of me to drive faster than a cop. I had to hold back the most condescending comments and just play dumb which wasn't hard because i genuinely believed that though cops were bad, i didn't think anyone could be this pathetic and insecure about their own positions in life. You live you learn. No ticket so this was a great day.
My kidnappers allowed me to have my own room. Isn't freedom great?
@@jebediahkerman8245 brilliant. Stockholm syndrome is priceless. 🤣👍
I also respect thugs with guns paid for by money taken from me without my consent for not violently forcing me to stay in my house. Much respect, much respect.
I am amazed at the pure lack of interest over you expressing perfect logic on virtually all subject matter that you talk about. This speaks volumes on the intelligence of the general population. Personally, I think you are brilliant. There may not be many tuning in to hear what you have to say, but you always capture my attention when you speak. Keep up the good work, Larken.
Awesome work Larken! I wish you the best.
A valuable lesson indeed Larken thanks a lot. I've been enjoying reading The Most Dangerous Superstition it did help me open my eyes.
always sharing and posting your stuff on different platforms everyday ALL DAY!!! keep it up larken, you are already some kind of archetypal figure in the REAL freedom movement, which makes you a very powerful game changer. thanks for all that you do to change the current mindset of humanity. much appreciated
The Non-Aggression Principle is sound morality, a correct view on good & evil. Replacing the NAP with variable/arbitrary "the greater good" or "whatever is currently written as law" as the moral good, is not sound morality, it is not a correct view on good & evil. If most people would get this we could have real progress. Good talk Larken.
Mark Passio is brilliant at explaining natural law and morality.
THIS!
This is what I believe, even if when I try to explain it, my brain and my tongue get in the way.
Thanks to lackluster, I found your channel. And I couldn't agree more with what you're saying!
voluntarianism is founded upon the Non Agression Principle and that starts in your family, especially in relation to your children.
Spare the rod, spoil the child
@@MisterWebb yes you should discipline your kids but you have no right to hit them.
Being is parent is more akin to a ward relationship than a property relationship. If 99% of parents could break their bad parenting habits in just this one way, we'd see a wildly different world.
Your child is not your property, but he or she is your responsibility until they prove to be able to self sustain. Many things can prevent this, some unavoidable like disability or them becoming statists. If the child wasn't taught morality they will contribute to downfall of humanity plain and simple.
Every Child Matters. And no I'm not parroting the government granted indigenous slogan, I actually mean it.
Too many rights have been taken like gun rights. The right to defend
Beautiful and smart 👍🏼
Brilliant another good video larken
Natural Law - our inherent rights given by the Creator - are evident and if written by mankind, redundant. The main point of Natural Law is ’No person can give away authority to any other person because every single person is completely responsible for their own direct actions’. It doesn’t matter if 5 million people sign a piece of paper as fancy and official as they want no one has the authority to endow authority to another. It’s like saying, “I’m giving away my karma.” Somebody who hires somebody to commit murder is still guilty of murder. So if we fool ourselves into believing any human can be responsible for our personal freedoms, actions, decisions, then we have given away all our power while still fully responsible for all outcome. And of course, a Council is practical for small disputes and guidance with the wisdom of past lessons learned.
All this to say if this was taught in schools and homes by all humankind, the freedom and the responsibility given to each individual would be an incredible step forward in enriching all lives, human and otherwise. We could spend our energy on solving the problems of the helpless and troublemakers and such without losing our freedoms, or paying income tax, etc., yet pursuing happiness, personal goals and more.
I state this solely for the purpose of educating the populace of how the world actually works and anything outside this will always exact a price.
100% truth and you put people in front of REALITY. My best wishes to you
Great video as always larken! !!! Looking forward to more bits like this.
Share like crazy every body!!!
Clear, succinct, unambiguous, and irrefutable!
So well said and I find it difficult to understand how people honestly are against the idea of voluntaryism.
"Great spirit have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." - Albert Einstein
You will be remembered as one of the sanest people of our era. Thank you for your gifts of philosophy
Their job isn't to enforce ALL the laws, just the ones they're told, to against certain people.
Genius way of looking at the old saying; 'A license is permission to do something illegal'.
I do prefer anarchy over keyboard lessons brother.
I'm not gonna lie.
Cheers larken, you the man man.
what does that mean Draga? what do u mean by anarchy? I dont think we win with violence but I think that is the common misconception of the word. not sure. I think all those in positions supporting harm to Your fellowman need to resign. and we boycott places that do not allow entrance without a mask. ft worth trader Joe's allows one being at a time in without a mask. we need to all refuse to wear a mask in ft worth and line up or turn away if they say we must wait for someone else to shop and get the manager to say this on recorded cell so can SUE him and store owners for discrimination and what? but One has to know the law VERY WELL AND HAVE SUPPORT.
THESE R 2 THINGS WE CAN DO ONCE WE ARE UNITED!

Good stuff!

I think this is a great idea - a simple and concise video series on voluntaryism would be helpful and can potentially be used as a starting place for those who are new to the philosophy.
Your book is amazingly true. Thankyou xx

Looking forward to more!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Larkin has many videos. the question is to me...when r we going to unite? a man in texas went to court and won with MUCH KNOWLEDGE.. AND 25 OR SO LIKE MINDED COURAGEOUS FRIENDS. WE ALK NEED TO DO THINGS WITH OTHERS. LIKE THE PRIEST WHO YELLED AT LEOS TO LEAVE CHURCH ON EASTER WITH HIS CONGREGATION SUPPORTING HIM.
Life sure changes after your eyes have been open to the true meaning of freedom. In order to truly be free you have to be a criminal by the governments definition of a criminal.
Damn I'm proud to be a criminal in the society of today.
Treat others like you yourself would like to be treated and this society could change into a paradise. I must be dreaming unfortunately.
Occasionally slaves reject the programming. It's a very deep, dark rabbit hole to climb up out of.
Any officer bugging somebody for not crossing at the light in a residential neighborhood has ego issues. I've noticed short young cops are the most aggressive over petty crap. They get better as they age, I guess after showing up at domestic violence calls nightly for years they lighten up on petty things.
✔ MILITARIZED LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENTS = STANDING ARMIES!!
The amount of people who attack police first vastly outnumber the other way.
Are there any statistics on that? And in what type of situation do people attack police?
Because all laws are lies...
All principles are truths..
I personally don't see how could be humanly possible to argue with so much common sense and integrity. 100% with you on this and on just about everything I heard from you so far on your videos. Thank you Larken Rose.
@Jay Gee I disagree.
Everything you've wrote in your comment and I have no intention to debate it specifically or even generally with someone I don't even know, so, have a nice day.
@Jay Gee In this video Larken Rose has an open invitation for anyone who may disagree with what's been said here and may wishes to discuss this very subject with him, so why don't you go and pick that bone with him instead of trolling me? What makes you think I want to even have a conversation with you?!
To play devils advocate: who is making up morality? Faith? Who's to say your morality is superior to mine? Force?
The NAP comes from the belief in self ownership. I own myself. You own yourself. Attempting to do anything to me against my will would be a violation of that.
Sure, you could argue that self ownership and property rights come from some sort of faith but most people regularly abide by the NAP. The majority of people only go against it regarding state aggression which they tend to view differently on account of their belief in authority.
A voluntaryist society depends on everyone agreeing on their basic morality and proper conduct. It's a popular mischaracterization of anarchy that everyone just does whatever. A culture must agree on principles, or it's not a culture.
@@jebediahkerman8245 Everyone agreeing seems impossible. Majority agreeing? Then the element of some kind of force and violence is inevitable. For example majority could argue it's firstly is a moral thing to pay taxes (it's not relevant why they would argue so). They could say it's immoral not to pay taxes. It's like robbing "us"/"others" therefore "we" have to use and it's completely moral to use force to defend ourselves from these "thieves" who may or may not use "these things" for free our taxes paid for.
@@marrtins I'm not sure what you're arguing. There will always be ill-willed people trying to oppress others. We endeavor to fight them. Why would you take my statement as saying that every person on planet Earth is going to agree? That is absurd.
Read Ayn Rand's explanation of morality. It is not subjective.
Thank you Sensai.
Wow just wow I love this guy !
Please run for Congress-we need to make this voluntaryism thing mandatory!
He’s not going to be complicit in a system he disagrees with. Anarchy is another name for this. I too have no desire to wield power over others. No rulers is the only route to real freedom.
Great lesson big dawg✊🏼 keep it up!
Awesome Video!
Meta moment; Cops are like king snakes, they're serpents that sometimes hunt and eat other serpents.
Sharp!
Everyone will be better off, when the majority of the populace realize that the problem isn't this government or that government. The problem is ANY government. Government is force is tyranny. The only way to true peace and prosperity is for across the board adoption of non-initiation of force (NIOF "knee off" -- "get your knee off my neck please").
😭🎙️🔗🐸😁🌬️❇️😤😲🤔🔶😆😂😂⌚🎙️⌚🐸🥁💕🌸
The same can be said for the politicians as you said for law enforcers.
Thank you Larken Rose I stand with you
Well stated and explained! Looking fwd. to this series!
EXCELLENT!
The recent killing by an Ohio cop of a woman who was trying to stab people is a rare example of the police actually protecting somebody from harm. They hardly ever do this. Now as a reward for his exemplary performance, the cop is in hot water. If he wants to be a hero he should stick to throwing people in jail for not wearing masks.
Larken, you are a true joy to listen too.
A major shortcoming in Codified Commercial Law that the IRS likes to capitalize on is that an unrefuted claim is presumed to be true. That is why the citizen MUST always and immediately respond to any and all erroneous claims made by the IRS. According to Commercial Law, the
rebuttal must be made in 72 hours from the time of presentment. The rebuttal for an erroneous tax bill can be as simple as, “I don’t owe this and this is not a true bill of commerce.” One of the necessities of Commercial Law is that all affidavits must be signed and attested to be “true, correct, and complete.”
The IRS cannot and does not attest its “presentments” to
individuals. When properly utilized, the ultimate advantage in Commercial Law goes to the Sovereign who has the final, unrebuttable truth on his or her side as an affidavit.
New here and it’s what I’ve been looking for my whole life thanks Larken
Anarchy is nature, Anarchy is the ultimate "civilized" way to live.
Absolute freedom is how nature intended us to live.
Read (Anarchy Refuted) article by Michael Tsarion to know what "Anarchy" is not, what the media is trying to portrait their version of "Anarchy".
thanks for the reference. I knew the definition I had was wrong as heard some politician jerk say it. thanks.

Well _oddamn said!
Nice video thanks. I am an unvaxed but fear that my time is short in the current situation. I thought I owned my body. According to new interpretations of law that override centuries of precedence our bodies are not property so we can NOT own them. Amazing but true. Violent to the core.
I guess we can't use the "A" word anymore since it's now attached to people who burn buildings and break windows?
Great Lesson!
The meat starts at 1:37.
Ruling over people should be a crime.
yes
I agree!
I agree.
Nice...it would be good to explain what Anarchism is as well...most people seem to think it means chaos, and it doesn't.
It doesn't mean a society without rules; it means a society without rulers.
Thanks for your stuff Larken.
I see you HAVE done a vid on Anarchism...my bad. Maybe pop a link in the description Larken. ;)
Lotsa people in here are clueless as to what anarchy actually is as I browse the comments. :)
I know "they can't rob me", but how do we litigate all this stuff and not go broke?
Don’t litigate. Disobey. The answer is to ignore the government whenever possible. There are hundreds of them and millions of us. They rule us with our consent.
@@jebediahkerman8245 Kinda Hard to do when you have small kids if you went to prison they would be worse off without you. Because I feel like I have to hold back on that its spiritually,and emotionally draining going against my gut.
@@ms.anonymousinformer242 I understand that people with kids become less interested in changing the status quo. This is why the young and childless will always be at the forefront of social progress.
In a sane world the criminal would have to pay restitution. Why put him in jail? Make them pay the victim back including expenses.
my understanding is, and it goes same for the legal profession, that policy enforcement does not operate and/or recognises morality (rite/wrong) however whether someyhing is legal or not...
I have a question off topic.. What do you think about an individual who owns millions of acres of land? Do you think that's okay or do you think there should be a limit on how much land you can own?
Hello Larken, I am Iraqi and enjoy your videos. Particularly your takes on the police and military which I can relate to especially well because I have been target of both unjustly (From US mostly having dealt with attacks and strikes against my relatives and neighbours and my country now in chaos with militias from Iran running rampant on the streets). However, I am curious on your opinions on how morality is dealt with in different cultures in relation to you talking about for example killing, for example in Arab culture if someone sleeps with the daughter of a man from another tribe. The father can morally by culture kill the offender. So how would voluntaryism deal with this? Are we going by western morality? If so isn't this just another force of unjust law being applied to another people who do not feel the same way? I am curious on how you would answer this. ( I wanna clarify I dont say either is right or wrong I am just wondering what you think)
He is ultimately advocating for a very simple and specific definition of morality. That being:
Right - an action which does NOT harm other sentient beings
Wrong - an action which DOES harm other sentient beings
The exceptional use of force that he mentions in the last part of the video is exclusive to self defense.
as long as the sex is consensual yes that would be wrong. The only "rule" is to not violate the non aggression principle which killing someone for sleeping with your daughter despite what someone might believe is an act of aggression. voluntarism is not partisan but universal. Don't start no stuff wont be no stuff.
@@aminabdullah350 You are delusional, that has been a custom in our culture for at least 6000 years. Don't lie and twist it.
We checked into this world, no fault of our own, so I guess the fact I don't want to play the game means I want to check out........no, I'm fine to continue to play and realize politicians do control us and do have super power that everyone anywhere is exposed to. I do my best to play by the rules despite they are the rules created by others.
I love you brother ❤️❤️🙏❤️
One is opposed to the initiation of fraud, of theft and of violence, and it sounds like many _agree_ with this sentiment, but, just for the sake of argument, _why_ is fraud, theft and force _inherently_ bad? _Why_ do we call these things "immoral"?
you are a lost cause. One has to know right from wrong. do no harm to others...but defend if someone does act aggressively.
Not to be "that guy" but your premise is somewhat incorrect in that "law enforcers" (as you have described them) do not enforce "laws" but for the most part codes and policy. Paid militants enforcing a policy for a private for profit corporation should be considered mercenaries as they are there for pay and are in no way contributing to righteousness. There is a very clear line between a "lawman" and a mercenary.
Epic
Thank you for doing these, cant wait for more videos
love from mexico
Great job, looking forward to the series. By the way, is there a difference between anarchist and voluntaryist or is it just a "nicer" word since the government told the people yet another lie which is that anarchy means chaos instead of no rulers?
Oh that is a good question. I was just thinking of drawing the symbol (that is in my profile pic) with washable car markers, on back of my vehicle.
Keep it coming. I'll keep sharing.. thanks
Harming others is wrong
Thanks for sharing such a clear description of these valuable concepts! It’s true that engaging our free will toward good is of higher value and is a much more practical way for us to interact with each other. As each of us improves our self-mastery, this way of working in our society will just make obvious sense. Do you have any thoughts on practical ways to help transition our current, quite selfish society into one that can fully embrace this collaborative and higher-purposed behavior?
Your efforts are appreciated. Your cause is just. But despite all of that, I have to remind voluntaryists, anarchists and freedom minded folks everywhere that might makes right. There is no murder in nature. And although mankind has attempted to rise above nature, and has to a degree...to ignore the reality, by making up rules and rights, and hoping that those who care not about your rules or rights respect them and not just enslave you, is a lost cause. And history bears this out. Want to make the world a better, more free place? BE MIGHTY.
No, might doesn't make right. Might often determines the outcome of a situation, but that doesn't mean it was moral. And most people ALREADY understand and abide by the non-aggression principle, EXCEPT when it comes to the "political" things they vote for and advocate, because they've been taught that aggression is okay when it's done "legislatively."
@@LarkenRose well, teach harder then. I am sure the parasite class will come around eventually. Pursuaded by morality.
@@LarkenRose Most people abide by moral standards, but most people are quite meek in nature. Historically speaking, most fall prey to the mighty few. Sadly, most of those mighty few are evil. The solution IS more might, be it by waking up the masses and harnessing their collective might, or by becoming a GOOD mighty few, to replace the evil few. Anything else, is either pacifism or circumventing (see hiding). Might gives the rights. And might can take them away.
Hello everyone I'm just here to join the government watch list with you all.
