We already HAVE an anarchist society - - -



"We already have an anarchist society; it's just concealed under a statist oligarchy and government. Please do not conflate society with the state, the oligarchy, and/or government." --Jim Carigan, Friday, March 20, 2014

"Unfettered Capitalism" - - -

"Unfettered Capitalism" = protected from competition -- usually by "regulation" -- (and/or subsidy) by a government. Otherwise "capitalists" are seriously fettered by "we the customers." Which is why the capitalists engineer protection -- usually by regulation -- (and/or subsidies) from a government.  --L. Reichard White, Saturday, July 20, 2013 10:54 AM
P.S. This is the ultimate result of what, when applied to bank bailouts, is called "moral hazard" as businesses learn how to get governments to underwrite their operations -- using taxpayers' money.

Responsibility or blame?

We cannot begin to sort ourselves out until we understand that there is such a thing as responsibility, that it has nothing to do with blame, that blame is a fixed, socially-agreed-upon thing, while responsibility is self-defined, something we choose to take upon ourselves independent of social agreements, and is only as great as we are great. -- Victims and Blame by Dean Blehert

Which is better?

Compromise is what you do when you have to.  Co-operate is what you do when you want to.  Co-operate is better.  --L. Reichard White, Monday, January 14, 2013 9:46 PM

What happened?

When I was growing up, hitmen, snipers and spies were bad guys -- and whistle-blowers and hackers were good guys. What happened? --L. Reichard White, December 20, 2012, 17:24:01
