Privatization, Only Way Out of Mess

Nature rules the universe. The only thing 100% certain in our world are natural laws. Whether it is personal life, family life, social life, community life, science or technology, alignment with natural laws leads to ease, safety, success, prosperity, growth and peace. Violation of natural laws always ends in disasters in the short and long run. All the progress humans have made in over 200 hundred thousand years is by discovering, understanding, mastering, confirming, building on and improving natural laws. If you dig up any disasters caused by human activity, it always turns out to be due to violating natural laws.
You can jump off the sixth floor but must bear the consequences. You are much better off taking an elevator or going down the stairs, which are built in obedience to the natural law of gravity.
A fundamental natural principle is the non-aggression principle or axiom. “The non-aggression axiom is an ethical principle often appealed to as a basis for libertarian rights theory. The principle forbids “aggression,” which is understood to be any forcible interference with any individual’s person or property except in response to the initiation (including, for most proponents of the principle, the threatening of initiation) of similar forcible interference on the part of that individual.” Libertarianism.org. Almost everyone realizes that initiating force causes conflict, violence, chaos, disharmony, distrust and division, while non-aggression promotes peace, harmony, trust, trade, growth and prosperity. But, the problem arises when we are taught that certain entities like government are exempt from this universal truth. So, the government acquires a monopoly on the use of force, and it causes war, murder, genocides, oppression, theft and violation of individual natural rights.
Human behaviour, societies, cultures and civilizations grow spontaneously in confirmation with the laws of nature. No coercive force is required. The coercive forces always interfere and misdirect the natural structure, evolution and organization, causing divisions and pitting one group against another, leading to conflict, violence and war. In essence and principle, natural systems are always voluntary. In contrast, coercive systems are always involuntary and can only be established and maintained by brute force, leading to oppression, genocide, rebellions and wars.
The government is an example of such a coercive system. It is a parasite that lives on sucking blood from its hosts or victims, aka citizens. In the long run, governments always end up bankrupt because they plunder the stolen wealth and money, unrest because power corrupts them and war. After all, this beast always wants to grow at the expense of others.
A complete opposite of this is free markets that evolve due to voluntary interactions and transactions between humans. It leads to peace, harmony, cooperation, wealth, and prosperity and, by its nature, makes all participants more competitive. All the growth that humans have experienced in their existence of 200-250 thousand years is the result of this natural order market system. Participants must create, innovate, invent, learn, acquire skills and work hard to survive, grow and prosper in this system.
In spite of the obvious and undeniable benefits of natural order market systems, coercive religious forces have always convinced a significant proportion of human populations otherwise.
Intelligensia, priest class and academia have been on and off successful in convincing people that because they are more intelligent, divine or knowledgable, they can provide better leadership and guidance to humans. Governments have convinced people that they are needed for safety and security. Every human is indeed a unique package. We have a completely different set of knowledge, learning, skills, moral values, cultural traditions and beliefs. Just like everything else in nature, we are 100% unequal to each other. Some people are taller, others are more muscular, others are more beautiful, others are more intelligent, others are more scholarly and yet others are better organizers.
So, yes, some can be better leaders, others can be better scholars, others can be better producers, others could be better service providers, others could be better visionaries and idea persons, and it is beneficial if everyone does what he or she does the best earn with that work and then exchange the fruits of their labour with the help of the medium of exchange of their choice. This is how natural order market systems have evolved and how these work.
These voluntarily evolved systems work best when they are voluntary. But, when the government decide that its regulations and laws are necessary for the good working of these systems and when intelligentsia, academia and the priest class insist on people following their “I know it all” approach, it always distorts evolution, maintenance and growth of voluntary systems. Plus, the authority and power to regulate and mould gives rise to lots of cronyism and corruption. Quickly, an ever-growing class of freeloaders and opportunities started accumulating, ready to do anything and everything for the powerful and influential. This becomes an “I scratch your back and you scratch mine’ kind of relationship that goes against the creative, innovative, inventive, entrepreneurial, productive and skilled class.
Society and the overall economy are divided into productive people who pay and freeloader class that live off stolen money in the name of taxes, fees, tariffs, penalties, fines, and inflation-causing fiat money. So, ultimately, there are benefactors and beneficiaries. Because of the inherent nature of the artificial coercive structure, the benefactor class keeps shrinking. In contrast, the beneficiary class keeps growing and then comes a tipping point where the beneficiary class overwhelms the benefactor class. Despite their best efforts, the benefactor class could no longer provide for the ever-increasing demands of the beneficiary class.
This is where every major empire and economy collapses. The ruler and the so-called victim class ultimately sink the whole ship. This has happened time and again throughout human history. But rulers and opportunists have always been able to create a “Victim” class. This is often referred to as “Problem, Reaction, Solution.” They create a problem, i.e., a victim class, generate a guided reaction, and then offer a pre-meditated solution by becoming the saviours of the victim class.
