YES, because it is coercive, it is monopolistic, and it DECLARES itself "LEGAL" and you believe it. We already have a monopoly: Government. And it is the worst conceivable monopoly because it attributes "legality" to itself. A “legality” sanctified by votes. Government is a monopoly that persecutes and prohibits all competition through the use of its laws (imposed and inherently immoral) and its weapons, declaring it "illegal". That is why government is inescapably inefficient. Government is worse than any mafia because a mafia does not claim "legality" and a mafia may always have to compete with other mafias. We have been...

The state set up the most colossal lie, which consists in believing that its plundering is good and necessary so that there is welfare. Since this construction in millions of heads of idiots who are its supporters, nothing else settles but bureaucrats, parasites and criminals. The unfulfilled promise there on, is always valid in those heads that function as the donkey with the carrot and the stick. - - - - FREE INDIVIDUAL - - - -

Considering that the "Republic" established in the "constitutions" attempted to weaken the power of the government/state by breaking it and dividing it into three branches; creating federal states and provinces; limiting laws, etc.; what if it continues to improve the equation and it splits more and more and even more, to reach as many divisions as there are inhabitants so that each individual is actually a "part", meaning that himself is his own "state"? That would be the real "State of Liberty", wouldn't it? - - - - FREE INDIVIDUAL - - - -

We humans, in our arrogant delusion, have come to be impressed with ourselves, as if the Cosmos were at our disposal , or as we might be important to it. We have created gods in our minds, and thus have projected "out there" in our megalomania of "being"... out of desperate continuity. We are important to ourselves, obviously, but to nothing else in the immensity of infinity. We are not even a spark in the immeasurable time, and infinitely less than a grain of sand on all our beaches, comparably so with the Universe. The Universe has been billions of...

Chapter 9 Dealing With Coercion Throughout history, the means of dealing with aggression (crime) has been punishment. Traditionally, it has been held that when a man commits a crime against society, the government, acting as the agent of society, must punish him. However, because punishment has not been based on the principle of righting the wrong but only of causing the criminal “to undergo pain, loss, or suffering,” it has actually been revenge. This principle of vengeance is expressed by the old saying, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” which means: “When you destroy a value...

Chapter 8 Protection of life and property Because man has a right to life, he has a right to defend that life. Without the right to self-defense, the right to life is a meaningless phrase. If a man has a right to defend his life against aggression, he also has a right to defend all his possessions, because these possessions are the results of his investment of time and energy (in other words, his investment of parts of his life) and are, thus, extensions of that life. Pacifists deny that man may morally use force to defend himself, objecting that...

The big question. Is humanity's largely slave? Whether biologically, instinctively or mentally? Or is it not? Does humanity mainly need that there be humans above other humans to tell them how to think, how to act? Do humans need limits imposed on them by other humans? Then the power concentrated in a few would become something inexorable according to this need. Or is it avoidable? If indeed Freedom is something they do not need, something that they fear... they'll just settle for a fantasy of it... in doses... while they are being squeezed by governments. Is this true? What is clear...

The man who understands self-respect... dignity, and takes it as a principle, knows it is extensible to other individuals. There is no difference... it is respect...as the bedrock of life. He does not need inferior laws to live. Laws that are created by those in power to manipulate others for their personal gain, call offenders those who violate them, to keep their corrupt system shielded. - - FREE INDIVIDUAL - -

Chapter 7 Arbitration of Disputes Whenever men have dealings with one another, there is always a chance for disagreements and disputes to arise. Even when there has been no initiation of force, two persons can disagree over such matters as the terms and fulfillment of a contract or the true title to a piece of property. Whether one party to the dispute is trying to cheat the other(s) or whether both (or all) are completely honest and sincere in their contentions, the dispute may reach a point where it can’t be settled without binding arbitration by a disinterested arbiter. If...

Once you realize that everything is a farce staged from secular power; that the majority of the people have been and continue to be indoctrinated in the belief in authority, in the justification of slavery under other names, and in the justification of individual sacrifice for the benefit of the manipulators ... once you get there, there's no way back! You live FREE forever with your peers, while the rest continue dragging their chains and their fears. - - FREE INDIVIDUAL - -

Only the individual is real. "Society", "the people" are abstractions. The same way a "forest" is not real, but each tree indeed is. Rights are only individual, and thanks to them we've been able to transcend barbarism (at least partially.) This confusion is lethal, as it has been lethal for millions of victims, who've been massified into collectivist abstractions, under the excuse of utopias toward "the common good". All stupidities that the ignorant and the profiteers will continue forever holding and using to enslave the free individual. - - FREE INDIVIDUAL - -

The rise of human kind and its survival through the ages has always been through competition. Some misunderstand "competition" as conflict. The free individual's sense understands it as "improvement", "evolution", "search", "goal", "construction" understanding" and also "cooperation" even though it may sound contradictory. It is not. He who competes with me forces me to improve in order for me to keep competing... in order to survive in whatever I develop, I explain, or I offer. Man has understood the NATURAL LAWS of Cosmos in order to evolve through competition. He cannot escape them or take shortcuts, he cannot go around...

You have to be an idiot to believe that you can actually hold the socialist idea per se. Socialism needs its opposite: free production, known as capitalism... or rather, the free market... in order to parasitize it. No, it is not possible to implement socialism. It is like hoping to have fleas without a dog. It's hypocrisy within its own fallacious argument. And by the way that's what history has long demonstrated. -- FREE INDIVIDUAL --

Chapter 6 Property—The Great Problem Solver Most social problems which perplex national leaders could be solved fairly simply by an increase in the amount and type of property owned. This would entail the equally important, general recognition that ownership is and must be total, rather than merely a governmental permission to possess and/or manage property so long as certain legal rules are complied with and “rent” in the form of property taxes is paid. When a man is required to “rent” his own property from the government by paying property taxes on it, he is being forbidden to fully exercise...

The path to wisdom is through observation from humbleness. The world and its laws were already placed before, and there's no need nor is possible to create a new world under human laws. Everything comes from that, and is nothing more than discovering and playing with them in harmony. Only the mad, and the destroyers, want to be gods, and those who believe in them, and follow them, are their main victims being led towards absolute ignorance and predictable failure. - FREE INDIVIDUAL -

PART II A LAISSEZ-FAIRE SOCIETY “Liberty—the mother, not the daughter, of order.” —Proudhon Chapter 5 A Free and Healthy Economy Imagine a feudal serf, legally bound to the land he was born on and to the social position he was born into, toiling from dawn to dusk with primitive tools for a bare subsistence which he must share with the lord of his manor, his mental processes enmeshed with fears and superstitions.

Chapter 4 Government—An Unnecessary Evil Because the weight of governmental power has such influence on the structure and functioning of any society, ideas concerning social organization have typically centered on the structure of the proposed society’s government. Most “social thinkers,” however, have taken government as a given. They have debated over the particular form of government they wished their ideal societies to have but have seldom attempted to examine the nature of government itself. But if one doesn’t know clearly what government is, one can hardly determine what influences governments will have on society. Government is a coercive monopoly which...
