<span style=”font-size: 120%;”>Why Anarchy Won’t Work</span>
Who pushes anarchy today?
Immanuel Kant defines anarchy as “law and freedom without force”. Force in this instance is law enforcement and an effective military. In simpler terms, anarchists are those who advocate self-governed societies based on voluntary institutions. In other terms, do away with government altogether.
Laws might as well not exist if there is no law enforcement because humans will not obey laws that are not enforced. This is self-evident in illegal immigration and non-enforcement of immigration laws by sanctuary cities.
Many people simply will not obey laws where there is no punishment for breaking the law. It is human nature to do what one wants (basically sinful and self-centered) and if that means breaking some law, then so be it. This is self-evident when driving on freeways. Those individuals who drive the speed limit or below had better drive in the right lane or they may be run over.
Selco says this about human nature:
Once when that layer of society is gone because of whatever reason, what you get is human nature, which can be very bad and it usually sticks with most primitive instincts and needs.
It may not seem like it to you, but when things get really, really hard, when everything gets stripped down to very basic survival and to acquiring resources, most of the people are the same anywhere in the world.
Without law enforcement, as imperfect as it is, there will be no deterrent (punishment) for any crime. The world will be chaos, i.e. complete disorder. The criminal class, free from all restrains, will run rampant. Murder, rape, slavery, theft, cruelty, will become the norm, not the exception. Vigilante justice could begin rather quickly in an effort to stop this crime wave and that could lead to civil war.
How did we get to this place where there is so much disrespect for punishment? Partly it comes from the failure to sufficiently punish children. Small deprivations, “time out”, are simply not enough to teach many small children the concept of punishment. History shows that corporal punishment works on most small children. Small children understand pain, but they can’t understand a minor deprivation like a “time out”. If children don’t learn respect and punishment at a young age, they likely will not understand it at an older age, but simply see it as an unnecessary cruelty. In this case they won’t learn self-discipline.
This lack of self-discipline is self-evident in our society. Just look at obesity. My personal obesity is only one example of many.
The growing disrespect for police in our society is the direct result of our not learning respect for our parents and other care givers as small children. “Spare the rod and spoil the child” has been known as a valid concept for thousands of years, but we have largely abandoned that time tested truism for less effective methods.
This has resulted from a misunderstanding, or denial, of fundamental human nature. Humans aren’t born with an instinct for following rules. We must be taught what rules are, what rules affect us as children and later as adults. We must be taught respect for rules, laws, the concept of punishment for that failure and that punishment will be applied for the failure to comply with those rules.
In my personal case, my health is adversely affected my obesity. If I were a proper weight for my age and height, ate right and exercised, I could expect to live 5 years longer, maybe even 10 or 20 years longer than I will given my current lifestyle.
The statement “if it feels good do it” the most corrupt statement ever uttered by a human being. Many people enjoy killing, rape, theft, cruelty, self-destructive recreational drug use and breaking other rules of civil society.
Many people today reject the Christian religion because they can’t or won’t face the eternal punishment of going to Hell. So they are now trying to destroy the Christian religion because of this fundamental truth.
Many people do not recognize that human nature makes all dictators evil. All dictators, of both the political left and the political right. Citizens have few, if any, rights under a dictator. Dictatorship is what is known as the “rule of man”. The rules are what the dictator says they are and he can change them at any moment he chooses.
Many people today have been led to believe that socialism will be Utopia. It won’t be. The same thing is said about communism. That the state will wither away and become Utopia. In all human experience the neither the socialist nor the communist state has withered away. No dictator will ever willingly give up his power. Power is the most addictive thing there is for humans.
The political left in this country is actively attempting to eradicate all respect for law and order so that the most successful country in the history of humankind can be destroyed. Why? So the failed concepts socialism and communism can replace it. Why, because they have been fooled.
Immanuel Kant defines anarchy as “law and freedom without force”. Force in this instance is law enforcement and an effective military. Without an effective military America will be invaded by other countries. Countries that do not respect individual freedom, like Russia China, Iran and others. Without a government and an effective military force America will be destroyed and Americans will be killed or made slaves.
Look at the beginnings of the Soviet Union. The Russian czar and his family were murdered, his government failed and the communists took over. Does anybody think the citizens of the Soviet Union were free? Support
