Every major accomplishment of Human history has been due to Statism.

The State:
>Allowed civilization to flourish
>Built the Pyramids
>Codified writing and laws
>Built universities
>Discovered America
>Circumnavigated the Globe
>Split the Atom
>Put the first man in space
>Put the first man on the Moon
>Replicated the Big Bang

There is nothing Humans cannot do when we pool our resources together. Capitalism itself exists thanks to the State maintaining the Rule of Law.

Libertarianism, Communism, Anarchism, AnCap and all other variants that seek to do away with the State are retarded and go against the very concept of civilization and Human nature.

States, or governments, are real agreements people make. Not everyone has to agree in order for power to be exercised, obviously.

I am not confident that goverment we would call a state today was involved in domestication or agriculture development, at least in the beginnng.

We have very little evidence of how it actually began. The places where it was first achieved are probably hundreds of feet underwater now.

Also, it is impossible to lay the concept of government at the feet of government itself, and since this seems to be that human achievement you most admire, it would seem your thesis is, at best, incomplete.

Are you telling me that people who vast resources who wouldn't need to give them up to a "state" through "taxation" couldn't use those raw resources to do any of those things?

Furthermore, what makes any of those things of any value? The person with the resources will use them to create something of value to them. The pyramids mean jack shit to us except someone built them a long time ago and that was cool, but we don't look to them and say "wow, and it was all thanks to having a centralized state," we look at them and say "wow, egypt had the MANPOWER and RESOURCES to create this." Any megalomaniac with the resources could do the same no matter where or when, state or no state.

They could, but no matter how rich a given person is within some state, the state can always acquire more resources than that person by taxing him. Hence, taxation opens up the door to bigger projects than any one person no matter how wealthy could afford.

Furthermore, there is merit in handing resources over to people who cannot use them merely for their own personal benefit (if they can, the state is corrupt and useless).

But the state doesn't only focus on that one area. The sum total of those collected resources go to many different sectors, with very little focus on the individual parts other than the fact that they exist.

The lack of allocation of resources to NASA and its private competition, SpaceX, will either validate the need for government allocating resources on its own or whether it gets in the way in the end.

All states are corrupt. None are useless, at least not to those profiting from said corruption.

The concept of just government is just as irrational as communism. People occupy the posts in government, and people are corrupt.

This is why communism cannot work, and why just government cannot either.

anarcho-capitalism is libertarianism taken to its logical conclusion. If your conception of government is that it is a parasite detracting from the common man, then anything less than its full eradication is ideological defeatism, the Neville Chamberlain of ideological stances. Purists will not only shun you, they'll use your ideological heterodoxy as a political weapon to drive you out of the decision making process.

This is why the French Revolution ended with a reign of blood followed by an imperial state, and why the Bolshevik Revolution ended with a totalitarian dictatorship And why Naziism lead to extermination camps. This is how it works in every ideology. Bad money has a way of driving out good money.

The final goal of the libertarian and the anarcho-Capitalist is the full privatization of society, including state functions, and the total commodification of labor. It would be a neo-feudalist state though, not a true anarchy, and it would invariably be a totalitarian dictatorship in everything but name, just like the rest.

You are looking for simple answers where there are none. Government, nay civilization itself, is a constantly adapting, theorizing and testing entity.

The problem with anarchists and libertarian types is that they don't get that humans are a species that live in groups to survive. Any group needs rules that govern interactions to function and thus survive, and those rules can only exist if there is some ability to enforce them. Any population size that exceeds the ability for everyone to know everyone else personally, and thus operate using simple social pressures, must create a codified impersonal system of rules to be administered consistently. This of course necessitates an authority ,whether democratic or authoritarian, to decide upon and enforce those rules and WHOOPS! you have a government. Libertarians, Communists, and Anarchists wanting to get rid of government and states are like Ant's going without a colony or Bee's without a hive. You can't get rid of states without getting rid of humans because states whether democratic or tyrannical are an integral part of humanity.

First of all, Libertarianism needs a state regardless of what whiney neckbeards say. Capitalism itself (as you said) flourished because of the state.

I'm not going to argue with you on the fact that statism has contributed to the wellbeing of individuals.

According to most anarchists, I'm a statist simply because I believe we should be ruled.

But the reason I'm against statism is because it doesn't allow for humane interests. And by "humane", I don't mean "activism" or "charity"; what I mean by "humane", is that statism doesn't follow a natural order; it utilizes anxiety to perpetuate surplus and progress. Capitalism and statism will always be "progressive" in the sense that people always maintain an anxiety and fear of being stagnant or regressive.

I mean, look at every species of mammal on Earth. Every one of them is content with their own lives; they're content with having to go out and forage constantly for food. They're content with shitting on the grass. They have no need or desire for anything that "aids" them or makes work easier, because work isn't seen as a chore or anxiety. ONLY in the middle class can a person enjoy his/her job, because it's only the middle class who have no fear of losing their money.

Religion and political beliefs are very indicative of the kind of society and people that have those beliefs. For hundreds of years, the Romans, the Greeks, The Norse, the Japanese, and any civilization that was a feudalist civilization, had more than one god, and they were as humane as the societies that worshiped those gods; being lustful, greedy, charitable, and sometimes stupid. The monotheist gods, on the other hand, were strict, non-human, lawful and often evil; such is the religion of a statist society where the rule of law replaces the rule of honour and loyalty.
>>
No state has ever practiced "statism" itself. A state is merely a tool in order to achieve political goals. This is why some states went as far as destroying themselves, as they gambled to achieve something. Such historical events show that the state necessarily needs its external reference in order to form itself, usually in the form of ideals.

A state which concerns itself merely for its own preservation leads to a decaying state, as it has lost sight of its original purposes, and/or has already achieved its practical limitation (as a tool). If that is statism, then it will certainly be a terrible idea.
>>
>>1713583
Once you get Agriculture going, it starts to happen. Because with Agiculture, you can start making a mega farm, but a mega farm can't be moved. The herd animals can be moved, but not the crops.
Its also a size thing. Instead of tribe being 15-20 people, the agriculture tribe can be 50-100 people.
Because tools is a thing, the tribe can make better tools than before.

Before that, there might be conflict because Tribes want to use the same hunting grounds, but its far smaller in scale.
Then again, I am talking to you, a Modernite.
As a Modernite, you don't understand what a city state is, or a migration tribe with agriculture.
As a modernite, you are used to fixed defended borders, and live in a state where warfare is viewed as something bad. The roots of said view comes from Enlightened Pacifism, British "Muh Price for War", etc or American/British/Euro Isolationism

Anarchists who isn't learned will do the same mistake.

I contend that enforced order perpetuates a struggle for immediate survival, and the repression of real virtue, more so than having a lack of such an enforcing entity.

The institutionalization of education, religion and law enforcement by the order-holding, bourgeois elitists certainly appears to me as being a constriction of my autonomy. It's constricting to the point that I've felt pressured to go buy a diploma, pay tithe and question nothing, and abide by laws that were only implemented to raise money for the state.

In my experience of the college system specifically, I've borrowed money from the bourgeoisie to follow a curriculum sanctioned by the bourgeois and purchase a diploma so I can get a bourgeois-approved job with a high enough return-on-investment-potential to pay the bourgeoisie back in time before interest adds up too much.

Sure, I could drop out and buy a library card or go traveling, but the flow of books is filtered to benefit the interests of a society sculpted by the bourgeois and I don't have the money, the patience or a reputably upright background enough to buy a bunch of visas.

Seems as though, instead of having the time or freedom to contemplate shit that really matters with respect to our evolution as a species, I'm relatively limited in my options: become a corporate sell-out, become a hermit, become the crazy doomsayer on the corner, become the voice of freedom and consequently have my credibility attacked and be assassinated, or i could become an hero. Under the current order-obsessive model, I don't see much wiggle room for pursuing truth to the fullness of what truth deserves.

>>1715667
>enforced order = slavery
I think this guy's got it. The western world still depends on institutionalized slavery to function; the bourgeoisie is just clever enough to hide its true motives under the guises of honor, virtue, higher learning and societal betterment.

Please, for the love of god, read up on Zomia.
>that has historically been beyond the control of governments based in the population centers of the lowlands.
Scandinavia basically had the same shit in the Inland(i.e Telemark and killing of Priests), and the Lappland(Sami).
Its not a Anarchy, its merely a area thats so far away from natural infastructure(I.e major rivers into lakes), that empires that claim the area can't actually conveniently go there.

So I repeat: Please for the love of God, read up on Zomia.
The reason Zomia is a big deal, is that its so far away from convenient land areas, that the local city states didn't want to go there.
The local empires sent a diplomat, and asked them to occasionally send taxes.
The modern nation state can just annex it by building roads, but technically its a area of so lose borders it might lead to Nation being built over night.

Cells do not act of their own accord. They react to stimuli, sure, but do not plan or act on their own.

While an individual is made up of cells, those cells are physically present and also subordinated to the individual, incapable of forming or acting out their own thoughts or designs.

States are not physical in any way, and so anything a "state" does must be done by individuals, individuals who are all independently thinking and acting, and although their actions may be coordinated it does not transmute them into anything greater than what they actually are. It's basic logic t-b-h.

Therefore the value in itself, the state, is something that compels humans to act together to further goals that pertain to said value. Anarchism etc. seek to do away with this value and replace it with.. freedom? Which is essentially nothing, as it is perceived differently by every individual.

When Socialists talk about the "State" what they talk about is the heirarchical superstructure construct that maintains Capitalism.

"Communism" and "Anarchism" still have a Government who foresees organization and distribution of resources and paperwork, bureaucracy etc. The difference being is that the Government is a bottom up structure which is subject to the will of the people through the structure, the people are not subject to the will of the Politicians, Capitalists and Police.

Noted I don't think this is a perfect idea, largely because I've worked in Government and there are some things you learn

1: The general public are legitimately retarded and the vast majority largely only care about incredibly micro issues of self interest, mostly "Muh rates" and "Muh road quality that is 100% fine but I'm going to complain about anyway" and "Muh NIMBY shit".
Direct Democracy thus is a incredibly flawed idea and educated representative with expert advisors is a far superior system.

2: The general public fucking hate politics. 80% of people imo would be perfectly happy to live in a technocratic dictatorship if it meant they never had to see a political headline again. People can't even stand a 1 month election, imagine people trying to give a shit about almost every single political issue there is and vote on it for it to go up through the chain.

3: The vast majority of shit Government engages in, like 99% of stuff, is mundane crap like wheat ergot regulation or some other obscure shit nobody has any fucking clue about. How do you expect people to vote on all these issues? It's a full time job for a reason. Most Politicians work very long hours, 6 days a week.

Technocratic direct democracy when?
It'd encourage the populace to get an education.

I'm pretty enlightened by my own intellect, kiddo. Let me know when your cells act on their own in a away that is not a fluke, ie cancer.

Everyone is fucking retarded, that's why government is bad. Most people don't even know what's good for them and statists expect the same people to know what's good for others.
>largely only care about incredibly micro issues of self interest, mostly "Muh rates" and "Muh road quality that is 100% fine but I'm going to complain about anyway" and "Muh NIMBY shit".
That's also why government is bad, you have self-interested people forcing issues onto everyone else that no one else cares about.

Unironically yes.

Not the anarchy though, that sounds terrible. I'm an ecofacist so my end goal is the culling of humans.
