You're right to point out that I am talking more about voluntary socialism and not the corruption of the state in all its subversion. Perhaps a little socialism is fine when in the hands of the grassroots, but when that force manifests itself in government that's what poisons everything and it all becomes about control, dominance and division.

However, I think if we abolished all state governments we would soon run into trouble. The blockchain is a perfect example. I have seen both the best and the dark side of human nature on the blockchain. There are many good people in crypto who would do a much better job than governments. However, without government and laws sadly there are just too many other people susceptible to corruption and they will always fuck it up and ruin it for the good people out there. I have seen it too many times on the blockchain. And wasn't the blockchain supposed to be part of an alternative solution to government and fiat slave money?

I suppose the difference with socialism and communism, which are very closely related, is that they are projects with a defined objective, whereas conservatism and liberalism are movements with no destination point.

Thank you for stopping by and engaging me with what was a simple post. I will be elaborating on my political and societal thoughts as I develop my blog. I have only restarted this blog after a couple of years away. Thank you also for your vote, always appreciated.
