[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1077293, member: 2189"] O' Flaherty has taken an interesting approach and it will be interesting to see how well or how far it works. Glad to see the definition of anarchist reported correctly but kind of a contradiction for someone who claims belief in "no rulers" to then go out and get themselves elected to be one. On one hand he does have a point in dismantling before alternate systems have emerged but at the same time as the last 4 years have begun to put pressures on states towards austerity measures, alternative systems have in fact begun to emerge. But some of these alternatives are now starting to feel a backlash from states who are either protecting turf or acting on behalf of cartelized and monopoly business interests upon whom the state has granted such privilege.

In light of the example, Walmart as everyone knows has grown all across the country and much of that growth has come from making political friends in local communities. And sometimes with heavy hands too. In 2009', of Walmart's total sales of $258 bil, 51% of that came from it's grocery division so we are talking big money from food sales. As the idea of local/community/individual food production grows, an economic flashpoint will emerge and some have begun to question if such flashpoint has and gov't reaction are a result of pushback from state privileged fictions like a Walmart for example. It's a good question but a cloudly answer at best for the moment. But if someone like an O'Flaherty could at the very least hold the Corporations hired muscle in this case being the state from interfering in the emergence of alternative systems, we'd have the paradigm shift needed to begin to actually dismantle the state or better yet it would fall apart as a result of non-use. Even now real freed market healthcare alternatives are waking up to challenge ObamaCare so look soon for the backlash from this. If you don't like ObamaCare and you even have half a brain, if called to sit on a jury, vote not guilty regardless of what you think of the person just as a means to undermine the state itself. Same thing in regards to food production as well. When the state drags in someone who dares challenge the state in any area of Big Mother, for once THINK instead of acting like moronic, drooling, mindless automatons only capable of following orders from an illusion called hierarchy. I find it funny how some here will parade their guns and even wax long about how they will stand up to the state when need be and yet when one can stand up to the state in a moment where no gun is needed, they fold like a so-called cheap liberal newspaper and tow the state party line.
