The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “Vacate the Vote“…

“Anarchy 2016
Make yourself great again”
Murilo M.: We need government. The police are the ones that use force to keep order in society. Without them, many would be killed, since there are people out there who don’t follow the law. Generally, people just aren’t capable of governing themselves. And, the government can be of great help too. In Brazil, they have created social programs that took millions out of misery.

Rayn:
“If statists say we need government to control bad people… what about the bad people who join government to control others?”

Rayn:
“Government: the brilliant idea that we should stop lunatics from lying, murdering, and stealing from us by hiring lunatics to lie, murder and steal from us.”

“Democide: if you support government, you’ve probably never heard of this.”

Rayn:
“Governments murdered 262,000,000 disarmed civilians in the 20th century. Anti-Statism is a life saver.”

Rayn:
“We disapprove of State educatgion. Then, the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a State religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a State-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality.
It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the State to raise grain.” – Frederic Bastiat, The Law
Rayn:
“If man is not fit to govern himself, how can he be fit to govern someone else?” – James Madison
Rayn:
“Sometimes, it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he then be trusted with the government of others?” – Thomas Jefferson
