Larken Rose should be declared a national treasure, but that can't happen because he has declared the nation state to be illegitimate.

But "end politics" is not a plan.

The power hungry psychotics ye always have among you - so long as children are traumatized and become narcissists and worse. They will manipulate and deceive their way into control over groups of people, and conquer and assimilate groups less powerful. Anarchist collectives have no way of organizing cohesive resistance on the necessary scale. Shared principles don't stop organized psychotics with guns.

Democracy is the worst political system ever devised except for all the others. -Winston Churchill (an eminent psychotic). It's like in Gulliver's travels. We Lilliputians, having contrived to bind giant Gulliver with tiny constitutional threads two hundred plus years ago at an immense cost in blood and treasure, have had to listen to his constant blandishments - "Trust the government" - the entire time since, have come to believe him, and now he is rising to reassert the dominance of psychopaths.

This is a dilemma and I hope someone will persuade me that anarchism presents a politically viable alternative to the nation-state. Gulliver is getting busy.
