I feel the answers will be vast. I tend to really like the Mutualist concepts , but I do not feel any one is sufficient nor realistic. <br /><br />In a world without states and borders controlled by powers of governments we will see also a rise of communist, socialist, and syndicalist pockets and alternatives. It is my belief that the Anarcho-Capitalist has only one part of the whole. <br /><br />I also think that history has shown that agorist actions can be successful. One incident I would point to is the Mau movement in the early 1900's. Tax resistance and actions taken outside of the mandates of the state led to the liberation from the state.<br /><br />Under the system of governments the problem we see is that invading forces do have a centralized target and a system of control to gain power of. The negative of a pre-built vast monopolized infrastructure of tax and control of citizens is that there is one to control and the whole nation itself is easy to gain power over because the infrastructure is present to exploit. Under many voluntary systems the invasion tasks become more difficult in that you would have to go around and take control of each and attempt to enslave or assert some power over every individual. The reigns are no longer there to take control of.<br /><br />In the same sense to have one state or government is to limit our options to the one the state imposes often. To embrace anarchy is to embrace the idea that we can have many of the solutions that even the state proposes often, just without limit or defined commitment of "law".<br /><br />Ending war and violence I do not believe will happen until we have reached the 'kingdom of God' but to strive for structures suited for individuals. Rejecting the power of violence as the crux of society is something we can do.Punk Johnny Cashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944483492898971907noreply@blogger.com
