He is way beyond me. Truly inspiring. Great man.

Nevertheless, he is not correct about everything. Absolute i regulation is not the best.

Sorry. Tom is great.

Some regulation is okay.

Minarchy!

After a redirect on Wikipedia that links to a shamefully disappointing article that "blames the Right" rather than the ruling class, while completely missing the many great features and positive points of minarchism.

Minarchy deserves more respect and a greater place in common discourse. Anarchism (no-rulers, but still with rules) must be the unobtainable abstract objective of absolute freedom and autonomy for all, but minarchism is the real-life practical solutions (because some people are legit crazy, criminal, violent, etc. and mobs/mafias/governments will inevitably spring up if actual anarchy is ever achieved).

The talk page is much more informative.

A lot of people don’t understand anarchism. They think it’s some kind of mad max world.

That's by design - just as they've botched up the Wikipedia article on Minarchism.

Masses ignorant of alternatives and solutions are easier to control as dependents. "Govern me harder, daddy!"
