My Anarchism

Great post.

It is also important to note that all too many of these problems that governments set out to fix where caused by government in the first place, or atleast made worse.

Why did Americans see a need for Social Security? Because the "private" banking system failed. Why did it fail? because the Fed essentually blead the economy to death.

Why do we need Medicare? Because the price of healthcare is skyrocketing. Why is is skyrocketing? because all the regulation eliminates the motivation for companies to cut costs amoung other problems.

Yes - the downward spiral becomes irreversible when the government is providing solutions to problems caused by its own unwieldy interventions.

Imagine if we master robotics to the point we can have robot helpers (like in I-robot). Then the robots figure out how to make robots, and they overrun us. That's the equivalent of government's "intervening to fix interventions".

It is the ultimate result of the tyranny of the majority, and leads inexorably to collapse.
