    Government is like money. Get rid of it and people will create it again to fill the function they need it to fill, so let’s have it do what we need and help instead of harm

      There is still a point, though, when a government gets so bad that you just have to throw it away even if you know a new one would eventually rise to replace it.

        Yup. People are social animals, and governments are just formalized outgrowths of the social structures they form. Fun bit, the research they’ve done shows that not just people but all primates fall back into all of the same social structures they are used to whenever there is a vacancy.

          if you’re going to just make things up, you should start off by letting everyone know so tehy don’t waste their time on your storytelling.

                So you are unable to specify exactly what was fabricated.

                At least you should be able to provide evidence against the things I said.

                I mean, it’s not like ancient Mesopotamia had accounting practices 7000 years ago or anything.

                I’m sure there are plenty of examples of currency and hierarchy free societies with populations in the tens to hundreds of millions you could provide.

                I’d also be interested to see what your plan is to peacefully change the governmental structure for 8 billion people.

                  We’ve never entirely eliminated money or government at a large scale to test the hypothesis if we would just make these concepts again. So it is entirely made up to say we would just invent them again because you can’t prove we would. Admittedly, its nearly impossible to test in the real world.

                    It’s impossible to do in the real world because doing so would violate the core tenants of anarchy. You’d have to conquer the world to get things to change within our lifetime.

                    For the record, I’m all for anarchy. I just don’t think it’s achievable due to human nature.

          your gif broke. but i foundi t, and it’s just an appeal to ridicule, not evidence for your claim.

            i thought you were making a joke (one i liked, too) that i said people create things. no worries, it’s hard to communicate tone over text.

              straight up mott and bailey. retreat from your specific, unjustified claim to one very broad and easy to defend.

        call me when you’ve built a single homeless shelter. just one. then you can lecture me on anything.

        you just sit behind your keyboard. Some of us (not you) actually live it.

          I would be arrested for doing so, as I would not meet legal qualifications. I volunteer preparing and serving food to the community, houseless or not.

          But that has nothing to do with your ridiculous argument that people would simply recreate the same systems of oppression as if it were a natural biological trait of all people and not a social construct.
