Power, Corruption, Aggression, Freedom, Honesty, Cooperation
World history is marred with power, leading to corruption. It also has proven that voluntary relationships are the only way to peace and success. Power brokers always try to blame violence and corruption on competition and emulate it with war. Nothing could be further from the truth. War is purely a political phenomenon. War is so expensive and bloody that it is impossible without a coercive authority to tax and force people to go to war and die, causing incredible harm in the process with injuries, disability, destroying families, destroying property and business. On the other hand, competition and voluntary relationships in family and business generate interdependence and care for each other. Bush sending you to the Iraq war based on deceptive propaganda of WMDs is entirely different from Walmart, McDonald’s, Amazon, Ulta, AT&T, or Verizon offering you a highly competitive product or service at a competitive price and making you voluntarily buy something or subscribe something that benefits you a lot and that you want and need a lot.
Of course, the warfare and welfare agenda that keeps the sheep in the loop is extremely expensive, and governments have to tax you to that death to implement it. They must implement this agenda because there is no survival and growth for them without it. This is what maintains their authority and extends and expands it. On the other hand, for products and service providers, the only way to remain competitive is by keeping their products and services competitive in the middle of cutthroat competition and rapidly growing technology. This requires intense R&D, remaining vigilant, improving, and remaining relevant. One group must keep increasing the coercion, loot, and theft, while others must keep serving and satisfying you to the greatest extent possible.
This is a sharp contrast that politicians, bureaucrats, corporate media, academia, experts, and gurus never want you to realize. Once this realization hits you, you immediately say bye-bye to the worst coercion possible, i.e., the government, and embrace the voluntary transactions of free markets. I mean, look at our journey from caves to the current incredibly comfortable and luxurious lifestyles. Even the people who could not stop complaining and criticizing the markets and competition could not even imagine living without the comforts and conveniences invented and provided by markets. On the other hand, what have governments done throughout world history? War, theft, coercion, slavery, fraud, and deception. In just the 20th century, the government mass murdered about 170 million of their people in genocides, and the figure does not even include the deaths in wars, which are also a political phenomenon.
Even in America, the people from Europe and other parts of the world who ran away from the incredible coercion of the governments in their own countries were busy building extraordinary lives with ingenuity, hard work, creativity, innovation, invention, and organization; the governments were busy in murdering natives, enslaving blacks, enforcing segregation, putting barriers on trade like tariffs, Taxation, and wars. I have no clue why most people still do not see this sharp contrast between free markets and governments. It has a lot to do with the ingenious ideas of organized religions and governments invented by gods in Sumeria thousands of years back. Religion was invented to conquer the brains, and governments were invented to enslave the bodies.
When both religion and government work in sync, they become a well-oiled machine of enslaving the people, and the people have been indoctrinated since that time to think that this is their only way to safety and survival. It’s such a farce. It has nothing to do with the people’s safety, survival, and prosperity. It is all about the dominance of a small elite group over the vast herds of the masses. This makes the impossibility of controlling everyone else possible. Whether it was gods, demigods, pharoahs, kongs and emperors, dictators or presidents and prime ministers, the same old still survives, and the basic structure of enslavement never changes or goes away. The bottom line idea is oligarchy, i.e., few bossing around everyone else. This has been the central idea of every political system that ever existed on this planet and never changes.
After every epic failure, they rebrand, rename, and rewrap the same and throw it back on us, saying that it is fixed and will work now, while the undeniable historical fact is that age-old rotten ideas and systems have never worked and will never work. As Einstein said, insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. They have been fooling us to the level of insanity for thousands of years worldwide. We keep trying the same with other labels and brand names and expect different results every time, getting nothing but disappointment. When people finally revolted against religion instead of rulers and governments, they brilliantly managed to fool us again. The rebranding worked again, and we had the same old one more time.
Think about it. What did we get by the so-called separation of church and state? Absolutely nothing. They just took out God from the religion, invented a new religion without God, and married this new religion to the state. This new religion is called Atheism. Please, do not get mad. Take a deep breath and think. Is there any actual difference between the Theism and Atheism? Of course not. Both are illogical and demand blind faith. Atheism, by denying the First Cause, became just as irrational as Theism. For well over a hundred years, the so-called Atheist philosophers and scientists have been trying everything possible to explain away the Cause, with zero success. An incredible amount of money stolen from taxpayers has been spent on this research, hoping that one day, they will prove the logic wrong. Let me tell you this: It is impossible to prove logic wrong. Logic always has and always will prove its deniers wrong. Logic is the most fundamental truth, and it cannot be proven wrong by so-called great minds who are stupid.
