I belong to a culture of people who had no formal government for thousands of continuous years and yet managed to prosper and thrive. Just look at the wiki entry on Coast Salish people. There is no word for government in our sacred language. No word or even concept for tax. And yet one of the cardinal rules of the community was that everybody was taken care of and nobody would be hungry or go without clothing or shelter... no matter what -- A Siem (or high honored person) was the first to eat and the last to starve. So I respect immensely that you are trying to build a new culture where such constraints on freedom won't be happening. I am just very lacking in hope that it will happen. I watched a movie last night that seems to indicate where things are going "The Circle". In it, we are moving towards a system of voluntary total surveillance and total control. If we can't get people to give up smart-phones where the govt and it's organs can spy on you continuously, what hope is there for the kinds of reforms that freedom lovers would wish for? It just makes me unbearably depressed.
