“ANARCHY is the radical notion that other people are not your property.”
My site has a patron saint and his name is Lysander Spooner. Find out more here: http://www.lysanderspooner.org/
My charter is unapologetic: I wish to set my countrymen free from
the physical and intellectual shackles that makes them wards of the
state and beasts of burden subject to the whim of rulers whose only
legitimacy is the perception by the fettered and the chained that they
must submit.
My mission is simple: I don’t want to send the right humans to DC to
fix the system, I don’t want to streamline and make government more
effective, I don’t want to have limited government which has the same
value as wishing for unicorns, for they don’t exist in this time nor any
other. The only government I condone is self-government. This site
and its contributors wish to continue the abolitionist project of men
like William Wilberforce and Lysander Spooner. When all is said and
done, government is force and the threat of force and my Rothbardian
instincts tell me that ALL initiated aggression is wrong which would
have the fortune of placing all government outside of one’s self off the
moral reservation. Sure, I am an anarchist but not of the black-clad,
masked property destroying variety so popular with the enviruses and the
collectivists who wink and nod at them. No, I am an individualist
ethical anarchist whose primary goal is the wholesale elimination of ALL
slavery and involuntary servitude; chattel, regulatory, tax and any
other moniker you wish to employ. I am an abolitionist wishing to
complete the good works started by the aforementioned worthies.

Zero Government, with regard to the way that Government is now, is a welcome and desirable topic. Because of the way that Government exists now, we need thousands of more books with millions of more readers, and tons of videos, all about zero Government.
But, there is a big problem with zero Government. And if the zero-Gov books don't factor it in, or if they don't have an answer, then zero-Gov really isn't the answer, either.
Here is the big problem. Zero Government doesn't work. Why not? Because if Zero Government worked, WE WOULD HAVE ZERO GOVERNMENT.
Historically speaking, around the world, near zero Government has worked, for tremendously large populations, for limited periods of time. Some of those large populations lived in close proximity to each other some of the time. But it NEVER remains this way. How do we know? Sumer, Babylon, Media, Persia, China, Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc., etc..
To be sure, none of these BIG GOVERNMENTS remained the same big Government that it was when it started. And to be sure, most of these Big Governments had intermittent periods where the nations that they governed lived in near zero Government conditions. But, GOVERNMENT IS HERE TO STAY... at least as long as the earth endures.
What we are supposed to be looking at is, how do we get rid of a Big TYRANT Government that is rebelling against us? How do we replace it with the near zero, limited Government that we all desire way down deep. There is only ONE way. And many people won't like it when they figure out what that way is. But it IS going to come about.
Until we have that ideal, near zero, limited Government, and as long as we have BIG GOVERNMENT, we need all the books, and videos and talk we can get, that expresses, and publishes far and wide, any methods that we can come up with, to get out from under the oppressive Big Government that is rebelling against us all.
NOTE: If you really and truly think that you want zero Government, then you are one of the following:
1. A would-be conqueror attempting throw the current big Gov down so that you can take over;
2. Naive or worse for thinking that you want to live close to other people without some form of limited Government in place;
3. A person with the kind of mental disorder that causes him/her to want to live alone like a hermit or a recluse;
4. Someone who hasn't really thought it over thoroughly.
