So, the goal is? Do nothing? Repeat all the same mistakes over and over?
No one but you thinks that it will be utopia, a free society will have plenty of struggle and chaos. Life itself creates challenges we all must face in an ever changing world. Maintaining the status quo creates more violence because humanity is constantly improving and evolving.
Show me a civilization that has survived/maintained totalitarian control forever. Empires always fall, usually for the same reason. Freedom! Thomas Jefferson knew there would be revolution every time power and control over reached its limits. Was he being cynical? Is America an impractical dream trying to be imposed on others?

We keep on going off half-cocked, coming up with new ideas, for instance, communism was one of them, so idealistic but also so destructive of the human spirit.
It is important that this time we think long and hard, facing the truth when we come up against flaws in our theories, evolving it until we are reasonably certain this plan is workable.
Any theory that cannot be debated, does not deserve to demand the right to be implemented.
The biggest flaw I see, is thinking there is a plan that is workable. In a free society the free market will decide the plan. No demand for implementation needed.
Sorry, I thought your argument was that we do not have a free society?
With me, it is a case of, if we do, then I'm happy with the status quo and only want our society to evolve cautiously, so that we do not lose what we have achieved.
If we are not, then I want a revolution, but I do not trust it will bring us the free society mankind keeps dreaming of, again and again.
The only good thing about revolutions is that i shakes things up and gets the blood flowing again in our veins - and if we do it right, we might also find a way to get rid of the ultimate masters...and that is not the government.
The only difference from the society we live in today, and a voluntary society is "Taxation is Theft." Thats the only difference, please read Adams 100 page book if you still don't understand. www.thefreedomline.com
