I don't like the idea of "one person" or business controlling the investment and planning. A far better solution would be a group committee act that would hold each member responsible for decisions and financial tracking. The story about the mastermind behind Ciii being a convicted extortionists...

I thought the OP meant that the current era of the world was over ... Global Spring sort of thing.

Freaking excellent video. Thanks. This amped guy is exactly right; we have to find common ground and put aside petty orthodoxy when it prevents discourse.

Sorry I didn't get back in to respond. Thanks for the responses though. I recommend everyone read "The Gift" by Marcel Mauss about exchange in "archaic" societies. I often seen the Linux model as being open and what might could happen with a libertarian but sharing spirited society.

But be respectful and don't just start in with "property rights" and Ron paul 2012. Talk concepts and how the Fed is a private cartel.

If all the banks failed, all issues with the financial system would be irrelevant. Do you not see that they, the bankers cartel and the Fed, create these measures because they believe in fiat growth that has no limit? Do you not see that they exploit billions for their ponzi scheme? If 401Ks...

What about shared land or community owned territory? Iceland seems to have had both and so did the Natives in the southeastern United States. Property was weird in the free state period of Iceland and in the days just before "enclosure" in England. I still have mixed feelings on this but I do...

I think it and the Big Dams act ruined towns and displaced a lot of people economically and it was expensive. It was all a big crocked up scheme to support the automobile industry and Fordism. Robber Barron corporatism. Towns and cities should have found their own means. Maybe Rail? Maybe...

Depends on who the planners are. Libya was hardly a good example of a people electing their own organization. It was a proxy for neocolonialsm and as long as we paid Ghadaffy well he would keep things under wraps.

Thesis/ Dissertation - matter of extent, but I may go with a thesis first. I my field is very broad with lots of sub-fields so what I mean by "course of study" is more about what methods I use and whether I focus on the past or present. I apologize for being vague, but believe it or not, it...

I'm in graduate school now (don't laugh) and looking to pick a course of study in the social sciences (anth). After I do my book studies I PROMISE to work on my SHTF self-sufficiency studies. But until then I want to find ways to defend and document stateless alternatives. As the title says, I...

Of course that's the gotcha and why I disagree with it. I edited my first post to be more clear. I agree with the blond guy when he says that property rights require force. I disagree with his embracing the Fed and saying we need a centralized banking system. I, OTOH feel that we should be able...

Don't jump to conclusions and write them off. We have a real opportunity for freedom here and we can draw attention to the bad banker class and Fed practices then have a real discourse with them. Approach from anarchy or Bakunin instead of from orthodox Rothbard and Hayek. Talk and listen -don't...

Don't jump to conclusions. I have read the manifesto and I think it is the best explanation for the historical process of wealth accumulation by states. I disagree and diverge when Marx around chapter 3-4 starts advocating for a "temporary" central government. You should check out Bakunin's...

Rep+ pcosmar We had fake capitalism and crony power republic that helped bankers hold the keys to everything. Reboot time.
