The Failure of the Libertarian Movement
• FreemansPerspective.ComGovernments are necessarily against human will. If they can’t make us feel that our desires and judgments are shameful, their entire operation will collapse. Their game requires Joe Average to feel insecure and flawed.
Here is the beginning of the libertarian failure. Take every instance of the word "government" in this article, and replace it with "the thing that is assumed to be the government." If you start teaching the people by this simple change, and if you can back it up with an understanding of the different forms of the way "the thing that is assumed to be the government" governs, the people might start to wake up. Yet, this article doesn't quite make it. The article might be a good prelude to people waking up about "the thing that is assumed to be the government," but the article doesn't call it what it is. The article still calls it "government."
Since the article starts out with a religious aspect, consider Romans 13 in the Bible. This is the Bible chapter that seems to suggest that we are all supposed to bow to Government, that is, to "the thing that is assumed to be the government." It is the GREAT government chapter of the whole New Testament, and maybe the whole Bible.
Romans 13:1 (NIV):
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Does God establish wicked authorities so that wickedness will grow? No, that's not His idea at all. Wicked authorities are there to control a wicked people.
Nowhere throughout Romans 13 does God (speaking through St. Paul) tell us who our government is supposed to be - other than God, that is. How does a government become our government? Think about it. I mean, if you got rid of your U.S. citizenship, and moved and took up citizenship in Ecuador, who then is your government, and how did they get into the position of being your government?
The point is, is the U.S. Government, and your particular State Government truly your Government? If they are, how did they get that way, and is there a way to change it if you don't like it? Or might there be a way to make the whole thing beneficial for you to keep THEM as your Government?
Since we have been talking about the assassination of Billy Foust lately in this forum, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJib1M7ySLw&list=PLA921A186BCA6BD73 and watch the 18 videos there - maybe download them so that you have them in case they disappear of YouTube - and start to see the ways that you have been HAD, and the things you can do about it. Then study stuff all over the Internet about this.
