Freedom? image - The Debating Society

When you restrict industry you will have better employment but there is less pay, unions have less power, and there is increased likelyhood that corporations will leave your country- making you economically weak and other nations more powerful. I wholeheartedly agree with you that they need more restriction, but you must also take into account the rights of the consumer.

There are more political definitions of anarchy than you think.

Stuff like healthcare, wellfare, and education should be run by the state, but allow for private industry that meets certain standards- security as well to an extent.

Defense and security are a responsibility of the state, but must adhere to some very strict checks and balances.

I'd be willing to pay at the VERY maximum a 30% income tax in order to sustain a healthy nation and allow ourselves to remain free. Of course taxes are still one of those things we need to work out before western society progresses. It's very easy to manipulate a society with high taxes (massive government).

It is up to the CITIZEN to keep our government in check. If you don't have political power/disagree with the powers that be, ARGUE WITH THEM. Speak out. Protest. Some people may call you a whiny liberal degenerate, but in truth, you are the backbone of any democratic society. Remember if we are being oppressed in a representative state, it is likely our own fault for not being politically conscious.

I get really ****** when I see politically apathetic Americans COMPLAINING about issues that suddenly affect them. I want to slap these people across the face, ask them if they voted, and regardless of their answer, slap them again and tell them it was their fault.

Employment cannot be denigrated by sweatshops thousands of miles away. To bow to those who's only objective is to monopolize, you have surrendered before the troops have even mobilized.

Welfare is entirely unprofitable, healthcare when defined by a profit is ill-dispensed, and undirected non-compulsory education will leave humanity ignorant.

Militaries are becoming majorly unnecessary and will effectively have no used beyond political nonsense and international policing. Undoubtedly the role of solely the state and thus weapon providers must have minimal to nil influence on the state; something which obviously is not so.

Taxes are necessity, obviously those with more or less dispensable income will have a duty to invest in their nation. Though the "size" of a government is utterly irrelevant and simplistic a phrase, the true shame is that it has become a prevalent focal point promulgated by idiots attempting to inform brain-dead morons. It is no more than a tool to relegate the populace to either the corporate butt plug faction or the diamond encrusted ***** the other faction very openly waves about.

If you expect citizens in a sedated nation to change anything of significance--to purge the heresy which has taken their nation. You are well beyond a century too late if revolution is what you seek. Idleness has made the populace docile and totally defenseless in such capacities.

Much time will have to pass, many attitudes will have to change, the young now must be the elderly for there to be any hope of a refined world without incredibly fortunate circumstance being a necessity.

Though that said, resistance must be maintained, fed, grown, and any and all oppositional forces must be aligned united against the true enemy. The monopoly, the outside influence heartless yet with its fist firmly up the governments ***.

For what is the reasonable solution to dealing with a parasite. Would you lash out and kill the host or identify and remove the parasite?

You know very little about what you're talking about here.
As much as we like to blame it for our troubles, big business is not something that we can just choke to death and expect to continue to benefit in regard to our quality of life.

You're idea is of your perfect world, you can't speak for the rest of us. You even said it yourself, a lot of people's mindsets are going to have to change. Problems are rarely solved by solutions, rather, they are solved by mindsets and the conscious human beings who have time and time again forwarded human progress despite our past setbacks.

My point is that nobody- no single person has the answer.

You claim the poison either sacred or indeterminable, yet a cure necessary. I will waste no more time on this.

There is no cure. There is no poison. There is only us, and the world we wish to live in.

I'd happily fight a "lost cause". So long as someone's fighting it, it is never lost.

and fortunately for humanity - Empires crumble, there are no exceptions
