I, too, read this on LRC this morning. Mr. Barnett is a good thinker but of course his message can be hard to hear especially to those who think America is the bastion of freedom. I have sent them to my father whose response is essentially the following: “ok what then, anarchy?” 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes, in the true sense of the word, anarchy. Since it simply means NO RULERS and self rule. I tell people all the time we aren't going to devolve into a barn yard situation if we have anarchy. If mankind was so bent on being evil as unfortunately many "Christians" believe, how hard would it be for a few of us to set up an ambush of the local police or sheriff department, wipe them out and then go on a killing and robbery spree? So it isn't the fact that they are there that is keeping people from doing that. Fact is, it is OBVIOUS that the majority wouldn't do that. The same ones that ignore the police now and rob, rape and steal are going to be the same ones that do it if there was no police. What would happen is good people would band together to form militias and the sheep dogs of society would take care of the slime who would prey on those who couldn't easily protect themselves.

I communicate with Gary directly quite frequently. And he and I have some issues because he doesn't see the non aggression principle in the same way I do. Many "anarchists" think that the NAP only allows self defense. I see it like this...some bully is running around my neighborhood robbing old ladies, murdering a few people and there is no government. I would have no issue with finding him and shooting him between the eyes if it came down to it even though I myself hadn't been a victim of his lawlessness. Gary can't answer me when I question him about that "hypothetical".

I have no doubt that the very concept of "anarchy" is a fake narrative developed long ago by the elites, turned into dogma by repetition to the masses, (think 150 years of "safe & effective"), and this goes hand in hand with another narrative I hear regularly which is "We have to have government, we need strong rulers" - and these narratives serve the very elites who are terrorizing humanity. It's very clever, and evil.

And I think the "non-violence" narrative, even down to "no fighting in schools" has been developed by the elites to stop people acting in self-defense. I once read that during the wild west days of America the country was filled with dangerous men and women - And after WW2 my country Australia was filled with dangerous men that came home from war, and yet we lived through the next 40 years as an extremely safe society - which only started breaking down after the 1980s. Why? We dumbed down our men, feminized them, denied the right to self-defence. And so courage and strength and the ability to fight is lost. And therefore people are easy to victimize.

A last thought to back up Courageous Lion's points of view - I read recently if you take the 5 worst cities in America - all Democrat run cities - and take them out of the gun statistics America falls from being about the 3rd highest murder rate in the world to the 189th. Why? Because in all the cities around the USA where they protect the second amendment the citizens stop hundreds of thousands of incidents a year because they are armed and can fight back.

The only reason the Democrats want to disarm Americans, and here they are still trying on the verge of WW3 they are creating - is because they want to kill off American patriots and take over American for global fascism. Period.

Yes, anarchy. Once anarchy is achieved we won't need anymore revolutions. All this pain and dolor is anarchy trying to be born. Decentralize everything. In our current system, evil gets rewarded and all of us are made to participate in evil practice a little bit (what color is your money? If it's green you're not innocent). Anarchy can only work if people are good and honorable. The work of priestcraft is to turn all men into swine from their natural state (which is the curse of the witch Circe, pronounced CHURCH). This is the evil impact of religion... you trade your rational mind for religious superstition and ritual, one Hail Mary at a time. Remove the impact of priestcraft and we would experience humanity in its true form and we would know that evil doesn't reside in the human breast, but is imposed on us from outside. The government is a form of priestcraft. It is a fraud, and its final goal is for the victims to see themselves as slaves to the church, or in this case, the state. Before anarchy can be born, priestcraft must be sloughed off, or purged off, like in a big fire. Have you ever seen a nest of ticks burn? You will.

Read from the good parts of the bible about what the Kingdom of God is going to be like. Not everyone makes it in. In Revelation, anarchy is named Jerusalem. William Blake wrote a long prophetic poem about it (this is one possible reading).

Did you ever read "Letters to Jessica"? If is a very well written dissertation about the Kingdom of God. Here is a link. I think you will find it very interesting and it makes a lot of sense. http://bornagainclassics.com/letterstojessica/

I agree. Anarchy is a child waiting to be born. It waits for people to become ethical enough to be free of the state. Priestcraft is what keeps the populace from becoming ethical enough. Religion is set up on an alter in the place of ethics, and priests depress the mentality of the masses with their main tool, religious superstition. This is the secret meaning of the witch Circe (CHURCH) who turns all men into swine.
