People in government don't honor your practice of self-ownership

Most people have self-induced blindness regarding the coercion and tyranny of government

The Honor of Being Human: Why Do You Support? by Arthur Silber http://powerofnarrative.blogspot.com/2007/12/honor-of-being-human-why-do-you-support.html

There can be no valid reasons for demands of obedience, because such demands violate voluntary, uncoerced agreement

http://warisimmoral.com Daniel's site as conscientious objector

To choose one's rulers--what irony!

The political process (voting) is fundamentally unjust and immoral

Authoritarian/obedience-oriented parenting brings about statism

Psychologist Haim Ginott's insights: http://www.betweenparentandchild.com/

Even if you must obey for self-preservation reasons, it's still important to convey the injustice and immorality happening to those who are violating your rights

"Public property" is a complete denial of self-responsibility in the realm of property rights

Governments exist through the sanction of the general populace; they must appear to protect and provide

To obey is to ultimately support

Denial of self-responsibility invariably leads to immoral actions

State created and supported assets will tend to become liabilities in a free market

The fundamental difference between a system of private property and so-called public property is that the former entails accountability, consent, and jurisdiction while the latter entails unjust coercion based on collectivistic abstractions

"private property" is a redundancy and "public property" is a contradiction in terms

"State" doesn't exist; it's just a collectivistic abstraction

Property is just an extension of self-ownership

Individuals must use rationality to resolve things in a mutually beneficial fashion

The absurdity of "taxpayers"

One day, everything will be privately owned

Anarcho-Distributism by Daniel McCarthy http://www.amconmag.com/mccarthy/2010/04/07/anarcho-distributism/

We'll never get rid of statism if present psychologies don't change

People demand justice services in concert with their concept (or misconception) of justice

A "republic" is based on the contradiction of "representation"

Business fits perfectly with the free market, with what people need and want

Parents typically contradict the wills of children; hence, we have government

A higher level of self-esteem is required for a free society to take hold

It's best to push away from the table of governmental "benefits"

Once people get the idea of good government out of their heads, peace and prosperity can happen

Libertarian Property and Privatization: An Alternative Paradigm by Kevin A. Carson http://www.mutualist.org/id45.html

Property gleaned through statism is best left to the natural redistributive processes of supply and demand in the free market; no need to "take back" anything, to be a central planner

In a society of complete liberty, people will use land in ways valued by people in the marketplace

My recent "citation"...cops are basically illogical zombies who choose to enforce "the law" at the expense of individual rights

Public property is a contradiction in terms and must be abolished

Don't be a Kool-Aid (or Flavor Aid) drinker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_the_Kool-Aid

There's no such thing as a necessary evil; coercion and violence against the innocent is evil, no matter who commits it

Mass compliance leads to mass coercion by government; thus, get organized and stop complying

Proof positive that nothing government does is useful: None of it is funded voluntarily!

When you're forced to do something, it doesn't foster your independent judgment

A dangerous idea whose time has come by Kent McManigal http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-5723-Albuquerque-Libertarian-Examiner~y2010m4d5-A-dangerous-idea-whose-time-has-come

We really can't determine the exact damage statism does to the economy and to our lives, but it's immense--and of course unnecessary

The government is merely a destructive gang imbued with virtue by most people

It's important to understand people's psychology and ethics of self-sacrifice in order to discuss statism versus voluntaryism with them

The practice of living with integrity is sorely lacking in our culture, and kids learn FAR more from what adults do than from what they say

The Wellspring of Sociopathy by Rob Sandwell http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle2010/tle562-20100321-05.html

Rational self-esteeming parents are key to the development of rational self-esteeming kids

Authoritarian sociopaths don't have a solid sense of themselves; in short, they haven't worked on their self-esteem

Approval-seeking and wanting to control others are two sides of pseudo self-esteem

Check out School Sucks Podcast to understand the bad effects and immorality of "public schools": http://schoolsucksproject.com

Professionals in psychology typically avoid scrutinizing the coercion and criminality of government itself; thus, their immense denial becomes a widespread pathology

The so-called selfless and heroic "service" of cops and soldiers blends with authoritarian sociopathy; blind obedience to "authority" is the rule

The nature of government is to control you, including whether you can live or not

So-called intellectual property wouldn't exist in a free society http://completeliberty.com/chapter6.php

Doug Casey on Anarchy http://www.lewrockwell.com/casey/casey45.1.html

Nearly all people adhere to the political principle of respect for others and their property--until they interface with government

Reformist Political Action as a Diversion, Part Three by Kevin Carson http://c4ss.org/content/2138

Legal reform via public policy is a counterproductive game that legitimizes the nature of the irrational and unjust system of government

Live how you want to live right now, without waiting for the State's employees to legalize it

We don't need to change "the law"; we just need to render it irrelevant

The mafia with a flag is not legitimate

Even so-called judges are obedient to someone...

Authoritarian sociopaths want more and more power (to fill the void in their self-esteem)

Governmental courts foster the ultimate conflicts of interest (adjudicator and prosecutor on the same team)

"Do as I say, not as I do!" is the favorite line of those living in self-conflict

We need a movement of new intellectuals who ferret out contradictions

Government is the new religion

It's important to question the hypocrisy of those advocates of statism who believe they are moral

The personalities who favor coercion of politics stand opposed to creative minds

Government: The equal opportunity offender

About the Show - Survivors - BBC America http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/370/about-survivors.jsp

Ever notice that those in government have no problem with the pervasive crimes (rights-violations) they perpetrate?

The more "laws" that governmental employees create, the more "criminals" they can apprehend (ruling via fear of punishment)

"Just doing my job" is not a moral argument; shirking responsibility is not moral

The anti-conceptual mentality dominates America (and the world) http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/anti-conceptual_mentality.html

Religion, being a ready-made system for controlling people, promotes the ethics of self-sacrifice, i.e., sacrifice of one's mind and life to invalid and erroneous concepts

"God" is based on a conglomeration of invalid concepts, unable to be logically integrated: infallibility; omniscience; and omnipotence

The "supernatural" is a fantasy designed to enslave people's minds; there is only the natural http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/mystics_of_spirit_and_muscle.html

Complete liberty is not just about politics; it's about a worldview in which you free your mind of contradictory beliefs and behaviors

Ultimately one must redeem one's mind from all the hockshops of authority; no gods and no governments

Intense introspection and self-knowledge is key

Twenty-one Reasons Why Statism Is a Radical and Radically Incoherent Theory by Jakub Bozydar Wisniewski http://www.strike-the-root.com/twenty-one-reasons-why-statism-is-radical-and-radically-incoherent-theory

Governmental employees who regulate people are unproductive, anti-creative, and anti-entrepreneurial

For many, Government is like God, and needs no explanation

Since individuals can govern themselves, why have government?--unless you want to govern other individuals and seize their property

You can't have a valid contract when one side doesn't agree to it; thus, the "social contract" is a myth perpetuated by people who want to control others

Robbing Peter (via taxation) to support Paul is not benevolent; it's the doctrine of sacrifice http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/altruism.html

Disobedience is the basic crime against those who presume to rule over you

The basic axiom of any civilized society is to respect persons and property of others

Since life is the ultimate standard of value, we must look for ways to solve the problem of aging and death
