Reply #14: it is a small point [View All]

It is a small, but perhaps very important point. Thanks for considering it. A small shift - may be a very powerful one that would strengthen your excellent thesis?

"No government" to me just means that the wealthy and powerful few will rule directly over us as feudal lords. Government and politics are to protect us from them. Otherwise, powerful wealthy lords simply enslave us without worrying about any governments, laws, or politics. There is no democracy, no rights, no justice without politics, and there is no such thing as politics that does not seek those things. What the right wingers are engaged in now is not politics nor government, it is the destruction of politics and government. That is why they have such an easy time - it is easier to destroy then to build.
