The True Nature of the State

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Vacate the State,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Statism: ideas so good, they’re mandatory”

My Commentary: And, by “good,” they mean “bad.”

(note: though I previously shared a different picture of this quote in January of 2013, within my post, “The Coercive Nature of Statism,” I still felt compelled to offer up an alternative commentary when I saw it again, due to the inspiring nature of these words)

Detecting Similarities Between Alcohol and Cannabis Prohibition

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “‘Prohibition’ is Code Word for ‘Government-Formed Cartel’”…

Rayn: “Freedom”

Steve L.: Medical Marijuana?

According to FBI statistics, over the past 20 years, almost half of all drug arrests in the US have been for marijuana. Mexican drug cartels control a major portion of the marijuana market in the US according to a report issued by the US Department of Justice in 2011.

There have been complaints from marijuana farmers in Mexico and the cartels that legalization of marijuana in the US has been injuring their business here.

This spring it was reported by the Washington Post that in the Sinaloa region farmers have quit planting marijuana as the wholesale price had dropped from $100 a kilo to around $25. A farmer in the region said, “It’s not worth it anymore. I wish Americans would stop with this legalization.”

My Commentary: Indeed! And, this applies to MANY aspects of the government! Interestingly enough, just yesterday, when I shared an article about police in America operating gun-running schemes here on my FB wall, in my commentary, I concluded with the following paragraph…

“GOVERNMENT: shaping black markets, then cornering them under the ‘color of law,’ since inception!!!” The State “is a system instituted by criminals, and worshipped by fools!” It “is the grand illusion” established “to protect and maintain the authoritarian position of the morally-bankrupt parasite caste on top.” These sociopaths “use the ruse to call themselves our ‘rulers’ and ‘representatives’.”

The Difficulty in Explaining the Nature of Government to a Statist

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Living in Modern Times,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“one does not simply explain to a Statist that the government is nothing but a monopoly on legalized violence”

My Commentary: *sigh* *facepalm*
