You dingbat. What's unprecedented in the world is complete elimination of government, as a way to end the oppression once and for all.

 

There are plenty of examples in the world of such attempts. They end up being less than anarchist would hope for. Mainly tyranny and dictatorships that gravitate to the vacuum created by no on at the helm.

By contrast, you also make confident predictions about the impact of the "fair tax", which are easily seen to be absurd on their face.

So far you've revealed two ridiculous assumptions about humans. First, you assume that they do not adapt to new conditions (they do). Second, you assume that, unless Teddy Kennedy keeps a sharp eye on them, they'd all suddenly start raping, pillaging and murdering each other (they wouldn't).

Foolishness and total fallacy at work, lets see you succumb to the use of both adhominen strawman attacks not to mention total absurdity to bolster your lack of plan to get from where we are today, to where we ought to be.

You are welcome to your anarchy. I will have none of it. The world has seen the results of anarchy and it isn't pretty.

It has seldom or never been tried in history.

It has been attempted endless times through out history every revolution is merely the anarchist at work, unfortunately the promise of anarchy morphs into tyranny before the revolution even completes it process. Sorry not interested at all in your idea of a utopian world without government.

Of course not: you believe in oppression; you simply want the oppressors to do things your way.

Since we know that in your lexicon, government = oppressors. That is merely stating the obvious.

Yes I want govenment to operate in a particular manner, that being the expression of the Constitution as written and established by the founders of this nation. Always interesting to watch an anarchist at work in twisting even the basic meaning of words to couch his arguments in language that hides the reality of what he actually is saying.

It's safe to say that you've never seen an anarcho-capitalist society in all your life. You're picking some random hell-hole and labeling it that, meaninglessly. I might as well counter, "I've seen enough brothels to know that your philosophy doesn't work either."

Since you claim there never has been one, you have never seen one in all your life either. From what I have seen of you I doubt I would ever care to see the result of such. All anarchy guarantees is no one at the helm when the ship hits the rocks.

Classic muddy thinking. You have no idea what anarcho-capitalism is, yet you imagine that it's been tried many times. Your statement is easy to understand: since you don't know the difference between a house-cat and a saber-toothed tiger, you see lots of house-cats, and leap to the conclusion that saber-toothed tigers are common.

Yes I want govenment to operate in a particular manner, that being the expression of the Constitution...

You aren't interested in following the Constitution. You're willing to continue over $1.7 trillion in completely unconstitutional spending, and would rather argue about the best place for government to get the $1.7 trillion that it isn't entitled to in the first place.
