Objections To The Freedom Movement - A Voluntaryist's Response

Libertarianism: A simple-minded right-wing ideology ideally suited to those unable or unwilling to see past their own sociopathic self-regard.

This is just more excrement form the usual libertarian clowns that pollute Current from time to time with their mindless idiotic drivel.

Just because we have a government that caters to the corporate agenda doesn't mean government is inherently bad. Our government needs to be reformed so it can meet the needs of its citizens. Good government is effective in meeting the needs of its people. In theory, democratic government is a reflection of its electorate and it is held accountable by its people.
Currently, our government is bought by corporations. Corporations are in essence oligarchies. Those who have the most money own the most stock and have the most say. The interests of corporations are more often than not at odds whit the interests of the common man.
We the people are (or at least should be) the government. If we the people fail to take over our own democracy we will fall prey to a corporate oligarchic dictatorship. If we get rid of government, we will no longer have power, or a democracy.

Well said indeed my good man :-)

If a group of people hold a person up in the street and take money from them its armed robbery. When people calling themselves government does it the people say that it is okay!

I am not a slave I don't need a master. Stop making the government do your dirty work for you. Come together in your community and do things through voluntary, mutual consent.

Government is the greatest myth of all, It produces nothing and steals off people to create war among its own people. Every law or program passed is the right of someone taken away. Do you really think that the government has your best interests at heart when they fashion a new program or law?

Power will always be misused. Give good people the power to do good and that power eventually will be in the hands of bad people to do bad.

The Government does not build ANYTHING! People do! All the government does is make people do things that they dont want to do and it stops people from doing things that they do want to do, and they do this by pointing guns at people and threatening them with throwing them in a cage.

The core principal of Volunteerism is the Non-Agrression principal (NAP). The very foundation of volunteerism is that people already do adhere to the NAP. Government it's self proves that this is not true. The government is people using force to get what they want. If we get rid of government there is no reason to believe that the people currently using government to enact force on others will stop. What we will loose is a hard won layer of transparency and access to the decision making of the people that will use force regardless of "government approval" or not. By attacking government you are not attacking the use of force, but the limits that have been placed on the people willing and able to use force to get what they want.

If you can, disprove this argument against volunteerism.

Great job Victor!
