I enjoyed the interview, and I know it was skewed toward Adam but I thought Larken 'won' on points.

I have grown to distrust Adam from initially being intrigued by the ideas put forward. Somehow it seems like the rhetoric is wrapped in a cloth made to appeal to a growing disenfranchised group that may have some weight behind it, anarchy/voluntaryism. He may be just trawling for votes from a sea of those willing to turn their backs on it all.

Now to the part where I will probably be attacked... :-)
I think the way society has been manipulated into being mostly a group of selfish individuals with minimal morals is obviously by design to counter a pure anarchy breakout.
Much as I like and appreciate Larken and his good logical work, and can appreciate a black and white stance on the issue of self-governance... I also understand that we as a human race are no longer bound by the morals that could allow it to happen without total chaos (which is where, of course, the 'order' will just step in).

I believe there does still need to be a little 'governance' in the form of maybe volunteer peace keepers etc. as an interim toward true self governance. I don't mean upholding statutes etc., but just generally able to try and keep the peace if this sudden switch were to occur. People on the whole cannot think clearly these days as evidenced by the very fact they look to the current circus to rule them. The state really forces us to abide by the 'rules in their house' and will not let us come of age.

Morals and values were once imparted to children by their stalwart parents.... children were under their 'governance' until of age where hopefully they were given these to live by. Anarchy or volunteerism was and is seldom allowed in children.
Now there is a parent to 'rule them all' and we all suffer under the strap because in their eyes we are just the equivalent of a child, an 1800s chimney sweep if you will.

We cannot, though, expect others these days to have our moral compass view, as it has been skewed from the agreed societal morals and values of old. Thus chaos would ensue should the system collapse tomorrow.

I hope what I am trying to convey makes some kind of sense....basically, I think there needs to be some shades of grey mixed into the anarchist paint tray to make it work.

I can almost hear the keyboards clacking from here........
