Replying to Avatar Marakesh ð“…¦

Are you speaking of America, or the United States government? I think of the nation/country and the government that rules over it as not exactly the same thing (despite the "We The People" nonsense). I do agree that one may persist, while I hope the other goes the way of all governments...

I don't think we're transitioning to anarcho-capitalism any time soon. Or ever.

I don't think 'Muricans are ready for it either. It's like when they said you can't expect a Thomas Jefferson to arise out of Iraq and create a democracy over there, because the people didn't have the cultural background for it. I fear 'Muricans have been too steeped in Statism to regain their liberties. And so, if it's not to be anarcho-capitalism, I think it will mean greater Statism trending toward totalitarianism.

I think we are tribal from a fundamental nature standpoint. It's not a matter of indoctrination. The fact we formed civilization the way we did, was path dependent from our genetics and environment. It wasn't some arbitrary idea cooked up for the benefit of a uniquely corrupt elite.
