Was recently thinking about this stuff.

I discovered, in my mind, we only need 4 laws, they appear at the bottom of this note. The fact that we have hundreds if not thousands of laws indicates that all governments even the most mellow, those outside of the great superpowers such as the US, UK, etc, there are more than 2, but those top they list of arrogant superpowers, that most if not all governments have hundreds to thousands of laws, indicate, that there are several hidden agendas.

The sooner people say no! and refuse to cooperate and refuse to [financially] support these hidden agendas, the sooner these governments will collapse, and true limited government will exist. That term, "limited government", 95% of the time I hear people say they are espousing everything but, limited government. I'll have to start asking them to start defining these "limits".

It is true, I don't deny, I am an anarchist. Many great ideas have gone under the names anarchist and communist. This note is long already, so I won't go into the c-word too much. But suffice it to say, nobody knows what communism is, since it has never truly existed. Anyway, if these ideas, the limited government idea, the only 4 laws idea is to ever be implemented and insisted upon, the words like anarchy, x-ist, x-ism, and communist, and -ism will have to be abandoned. They are loaded. I don't beleive in throwing bombs, bthat'sat's the imagery brought up by the a-word, and the c-word, it was tristolenlen, and sabotaged by power mongers and their detractors; Stalin, the cold war, and all that nonsense.

1.Don't kill anyone.

2. don't injure anyone.

3. don't steal.

4. don't destroy anything that doesn't belong to you.

I know its been asked, I discovered when I Googled it. But it needs more though.Don't fall back on ancient doctrines use original thinking. Its a philosophical question. Once you classify it as a religious question, you've lost it.

If you fall back on the doctrine that we were created in God's image, then the conclusion God is imperfect. Then you need to determine the nature of God. Is it separate from the universe, or is it the universe?

I call it additional savings, and wrote a Microsoft excel worksheet for it. If you save $1 (it works for any currency since its just a numbers scheme.) tommorow you deposit $2, the next day/time, you put in $3, and each time increase it $1. When you can no longer increase another [dollar] reset back to $1 or any lower number and repeat the process until you hit the cieling. At 50 times when you deposit $50, your balance is $1275.00, at the $100 deposit your balance in $5050.00.That jump is a quadruple. In fact about every 10 days, and amount quadruples. And the account you deposit into probably earns interest.

What do you think of this, and have you any better ideas? That last questions isn't necessarilty sarcastic, but a genuine question.

Does anyone know what communism is? I have never met anyone who really knew what communism actually is. And most people I've talked about it seem to buy the lie that there have been communist governments. Of course, they therefore must also believe the myth that a communist government can exist in the first place. It is impossible by definition for any government to be communist. If it is communist it therefore, cannot be a government; if it is a government, by definition, cannot be communist. "Communist government" is an oxymoron.

By definition, communism is a classless, stateless society, with no concept of money.

Does anyone know anarchism existed intentionally and successfully for 3 years. From 1936-1939. in Catalonia, [Spain], Barcelona is the capitol of Catalonia. There are again seeking to separate. As far as Catalonians are concerned, Catalonia is not Spain.Lets here from some Catalonians on this one.

In the 30s was the Spanish Civil War. Fought by the Republicans (Fascists), Communists. Though all are diferent, the anarchists often considered themselves Libertarian Communists. And were the truest Communists that have ever existed. True communism being something the USSR, Cuba, Cjina, eastern Europe, N. Korea never achieved. Catalonia in this period was anarcho-syndicalists, anarcho-syndicalists believe in worker managed factories, shops, restaurants, etc. After the republicans retook Catalonian in 39 and the the factories retook by the original owned found them in better conditions. In this period, Catalonia had no form of money, operated on barter, and had schools. There were no police. Without money, there is no motivation for crime. These facts need to be known so people know anarchy is possible and desirable.

I often dream and speculate, if I had millions or billions of dollars, I'd do this or that, and speculate what this or that would be, and why I'd do this or that. Everyone does this, especially people like me, who don't have it. But, what if I had say, $50 billion, that's about what Bill Gates has, but, what if I took, say, $5 million dollars and live frugally off the interest, but did nothing with the rest, let it sit in an account collecting interest, and every few months or years checked on it. But I did nothing with it. I spent nothing with the $49,995,000,000 or its interest?

That much money is a big chunk of the economy. What effect on the economy would this idle money, the mere fact of its idleness have on the world economy?

I've figured it out before, but I lost the Excel formula. You deposit $1 the first day, the next day you deposit $1, and each next day, you increase your deposit by $1. This works for any currency. Does anyone know what the excel formula for this might be? If I recall correctly, at deposit 100 which would be a $100 deposit, if you still have the previous deposits, you will have $5050. But I want the excel worksheet for this. Theoretically it'll put you into the millions. Theoretically. Since you won't likely be able to afford to keep it up for a long time, I'd suggest resetting back to $1 when you top out. Each time you must reset, you will lively reset at a higher number. But I need that formula.

And I hope I've opened eyes to a great idea too.

Add some details of your beliefs about this. No. my soul doesn't need to be saved.

I'm a pacisist anarchist? We can have a pacifist revolution. You may know the name of a pacifist-anarchist, he called himself an anarcho-pacifist, his name was Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace. Pacifism or non-compliance is the best weapon against the state, they know who to respond to guns and bombs, can do it effectively, without bad PR, not so with passive non-compliance. People like to for instance, smoke marijuana (this is not about drugs or any particulate legal issue) , which hurt no one, and if it does it only hurts the smoker/user. What if people smoked/used marijuana without care for the consequences, went to jail or paid the ticket or not. Or people don't want to pay taxes because they want to keep their money and/or they don't want to support the things that taxes support, and as for services like to the poor or needy causes they can be more effectively supported without taxes, people are most generous in giving to charity voluntarily. So they don't pay taxes. They go to jail and soon the jails fill up with marijuana smokers and tax evaders. This can only go on for so long. With everyone not complying with laws they don't like, the power of the state will be neutralized. There will be nothing they can do about it. Soon, the state will collapse or e so powerless that in effect, it won't exist. Sure, some people will vote on election day, but that will just be a formality. The government will not exist anymore than borders. The government will collapse without a shot.

Note: I did ask this before but miscategorised it. Got 2 answers.

I might also add the realization that we cannot afford governmet. Checkout www.iousa.com

Considering US debt, the US is the poorest and largest 3rd world country in the world, US wealth is artificial. It's like if I'm a millionaire, but its all on credit. My net worth is a million dollars, but I owe $50 million to the credit companies.

The economic problems of the world are cause by large countries such as the US, UK, China, etc. If we had a thousand to a million countries and "governments" the economic problems would not exists We have the US$, and all the other dollar currencies,the GB pound, and the Euro. They are each controlled and manipulated by the central banks and the federal reserve. If in the US were 49 different currencies, the demographics would be different, and depressions and recessions wouldn't be so widespread.

Everything after "note" is additional to the original question.

I want to hear answers from all. Republicans, Democrats, democrats, Communists (true communists as well as the statist varieties) , Socialists, Mutualists, Anarchists, Libertarians libertarians, libertarian socialist, and whatever groups I left out.

It is now the time for anarchism isn't it?

The need for anarchism has never been more obviously important. Anarchism not anarchy.

Anarchy, or actually anarchism, predates punk rock by several decades and centuries.

By definition, I am conservative and so-called conservative Republicans are not, they are in fact, everything but conservative. Conservatism means less government, Thoreau said in Civil Disobedience, "I heartily accept the motto,

"I heartily accept the motto, `That government is best which governs least`; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe--`That government is best which governs not at all`; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which the will have."

Checkout the Spanish civil war on youtube and you will see some interesting stuff. Look up anarchy and anarchism there too.

You will see from the Spanish civil war, anarchist speaking, you will see anarchists in their 60s and 70s speaking of the Spanish Civil War. The combatants in that war were the monarchy, Communists, and anarchists. For 3 years in Spain anarchism existed. Specifically anarcho-syndicalism. Anarcho-syndicalists believe in labor unions and worker owned factories. In the anarchist regions of Spain there were worker owned factories, and no money, there was barter. Apparently, that is what I am, an anarcho-syndicalist. Though, not 100% pure to that. I am an anarchist without adjectives, got that one from youtube from Brainpolice, look up his videos too, he is a bit more for the so-called freemarket, but he is an anarchist without adjectives, so, he tolerates and respects the other anarchists and their adjectives.

Here is what I'd like to see, worker owned factories/businesses, with barter, but not absolute barter. Play with the surrounding money systems as long as they exist. But, hoping you can predict and manage the abolition of money, and convert enough if not all of it to real estate and other goods, before the money concept vanishes. Keep the ownership as long as that concept exists, to keep it out of the hands of the greedy. Practically, we can use money to abolish it, if there are ever enough millionaire and/or billionaires who can keep their greed in balance. Though, currently, most super wealthy buy into and play along with the delusions of the system. No telling when enough people as in Thoreau's words, are ready for a "government" that governs not at all, I believe it may happen in my life time, and I'm 43, so if you're younger than I, you have a lot to look forward to, and I in the next life..

Being anarchists, but fighting a war, the Spanish anarchists, had no draft, but always had soldiers to fight when needed.

It might also be interesting when you realize that George Orwell also fought with the Spanish anarchists in this war.

If you are interested in peace and/or active in the peace movement, I might add that, government is the primary cause of war, and religion too. I heard John Lennon singing Imagine, as I finished that sentence. :-)

Also, when you go to youtube to look up all the stuff I mentioned up there, also look up Emma Goldman.

How might we achieve this beautiful world?

Lets hear from Jews, Palestinians, and Gazans.

Both sides must all want a peaceful resolution. Can't you sit down and talk?

If neither of stop throwing bombs at each other, there can be no progress, progress being, peace.

There can only be peace if all sides want peace.

If Hamas is the problem, both Israel and Palestinian authorities can solve that problem, if they really want to.

I asked this question before. Did I violate some rule? It wasn't posted.

Does anyone know anything about Christiania? Are there any Danish people out there? I'm wondering if it still exist or has changed. If it has, how has it changed? If it still exists, how is it, how is it different than the Christiania that existed when it emerged in the 90s?

I hope this question makes it.

If you could do whatever you wanted to to help the world, what would it be? I'm not talking phyically miraculous like walking on water or through fire.

Btw, La_Rose, you wanted to discuss some of my answers, but I lost your email address. Please send me email.

What are your beliefs about the true nature of God and/or Universe?

Agnostic=There may be a God, there may not be a God, we cannot know. The metaphyical fence sitters, metaphysical cowards, just lazy, or don't care.

Atheist= There is no God, most are rationalists, believing there is a rational scientific explanation for everything.

Theist=There is a God who created the universe and intervenes in its affairs (synonymous with monotheist)

Monotheist= synonymous with theist) Modern Jews make this clarification.

Deist= A (separate) God created the universe and left to observe and continues to observe but does not interfere..

Henotheist=There are many god, different people worship different gods. Early Jews believed this til Yhwh (too sacred to pronounce, hence the absence of vowels) which were latter added by man. Each tribe worshiped a different god, so I guess there were 12.

Polytheist= Many god, such as early Greeks and Romans

Pantheist=God and Universe are one and the same. I am a pantheist. Hindus are pantheist, some might say Buddhists are. Some say Hindus are polytheist, but that is a misinterpretation, they worship different aspects of the one God, these "aspects" are misinterpreted as God in and of themselves.I know you can find videos on Youtube about pantheism.

panantheism=God exists and the universe exists inside of God. I don't know of any religions with this belief, but that doesn't mean there are any. Believe it or not, sit down :-) , I don't know everything. But maybe there's something on Youtube about that too.

What happens after death? You don't have to have an organized religion to answer.

Do you think major radical changes are in store for the world in the near future? What? if they're good, how do we get there sooner? If bad, how to prevent or delay them?

How do I extend the life of a question when I get the 48 hour warning?

It says I have to click on the action bar. But I cannot find it.
