Democracy is a scam. The whole of the people cannot vote. ~half of people can. A majority of voters is ~1/4 of the population, guaranteeing that a minority inflict on the majority their policies.
In truth individuals are sovereign, and that is why when Ben Franklin was asked what kind of government we had, he answered 'A republic, if you can keep it', because a republic is supposed to insulate minorities from mob rule. But Lysander Spooner observed before the Civil War that the Constitution had failed to protect our rights, and Sherman's March proved that without a doubt, as he destroyed people and their property without respect for their rights. We do not live in a Republic, nor a Democracy, but in a Tyranny, ruled by overlords with excessive avarice.
Government is a crime against humanity. You alone can will your heavy hand to rise to your weary brow and wipe away the dripping sweat of your hard labors. You are ineluctably sovereign. You cannot give away your sole authority to rule you, even if you want to. You cannot be property, not even your own property, because you cannot assign to another the right to do with you as you wish. You will always have the sole authority over you.
So no claim of higher authority over you is factual. Government is the claim of higher authority over the people, and it is a lie. It is a crime against all people, because all people are sovereign. We can agree amongst ourselves to act in ways that limit our autonomy. That can be lawful and just. But no claim to exceed our personal authority over ourselves is true, nor just.
Scribbles on paper defend nothing. Free men with arms defend them. The Heller decision makes this plain, and history reveals the truth of this assertion. More than 1000 times in history head were mounted on pikes, policitians danced, dangling from lamp posts, and in the Seventeenth Century the Dutch cooked and ate the liver of their corrupt, despised Prime Minister. That will happen soon.
This, I believe, will be the last time it happens, because as we seize the means of production we eliminate the parasitism overlords depend on. When you grow a potato you keep 100% of your production. No overlord gets a cut. No middleman earns a wage. No taxable event occurs, and when you make what you need with a 3D printer, a laser cutter, or DIY solar panels, that is just as true. When we eliminate centraliztion we will eliminate overlords, and government. Then we will be free.
It is good to dream :) But permanent elimination of overlords and government is as likely to happen as me visiting a nearby star system ;)
Self fulfilling prophecies are always true.
For me, because I am seizing the means of production suitable to my personal circumstances, I suffer ever less parasitism and enjoy ever greater freedom. Overlords do not make goods and services. They parasitize the work of people that do, and they do that by owning the means of production. When they no longer own means of production that we don't, they become peers, without wealth and power we don't have. I am not dreaming of magical things, but accounting the real income and outgo that people making their own goods and services create. When you grow a potato, no bankster lends you money and collects interest on the loan. No middleman transports or retails it. No taxable event occurs. When you make what you need, you keep 100% of the wealth you create.
As long as you depend on overlords, you will never be free. As soon as you don't, you will be free. That's all there is to it.
