Governments have wedded their citizens to the idea
that there is no government without a government as a State.
I suppose that this is because governments believe
that the State—as Aristotle said in his ‘Politics’—guarantees that “the poor
shall be in no greater subjection than the rich”. Which raises the question:
Just how are the rich being ‘subjected’? Yes, there is the French actor Depardieu,
who fled France for Russia because the French State
But let us go over this again.
Should not all human beings be as equal in an urban
environment as they were when they lived together in the wood? It is no doubt
true that some families had greater animal herds than others, but then the
environment within which all live had a richness about it that the city cannot
come anywhere near. This is one of the reasons why I conclude that Aristotle,
though a man claimed by Athens
[No, not sleeping as a homeless man or woman in a
doorway.]
The disparity lies in the fact that the urban
environment is human-made from scratch, whereas Nature is a cooperative effort
by unseen forces working for millions of years.
However, if human societies began in the wood and
their ‘government’ was an ever invisible King who may have had a court, but no
bureaucracy, then the government today is riding on the back of what it took
away from the King and has never justified it except as the most cynical of
power grabs.
We saw such cynical power grabs in the acts from the
Vikings (who, incidentally, were famishingly poor) and the barons or bully boys
(who beside their city mistress, liked to humiliate country boys by demanding
the right of the first night with their brides) and who put a sword to King
John’s neck to make him sign the Magna Charta. We see a repeat act in the U.S. government threatening war against Iran
This writer would like to bet that if all the
‘separatists’ in the headline link http://rt.com/in-vision/spain-basque-protest-rally/
and map are given the opportunity to freely
secede from their present governments (after they had a congress that discusses
the various proposals of how to implement a stateless government), most of them
will likely go for it.
Following the secession of the above (over 50
communities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_separatist_movements_in_Europe
), it is likely that there will follow secessions on all continents of the
globe, and many of the Super States: China ,
Russia , the U.S.
None of governments have served their people well, but
have treated them as de facto citizen-slaves. The story coming from the governments
is that they are among the best leaders of the world.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
There will be, of course, those who claim that actual
separation will result in chaos, but what greater chaos could there be today
than that already created by the Super states? It is not a chaos created by any
King, by any dictator, or by any small state. It is chaos created by the
presumptuous descendants of past barons, princes, and kings who governed and
continue so sans self-sacrifice http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-15/nigel-farage-booms-europe-now-run-big-banks-big-business-and-big-bureaucrats
.
As Nigel Farage so correctly states, the nations of
Europe do not wish a United States of Europe, but a Europe
of sovereign nations. It is perhaps time that these sovereigns (also ‘free’,
‘Z’, nations of Europe (ZNOE) should meet at a congress of their own, and put
up against the EU, the ZNOE. It is likely to be a challenging congress, because
the BIG argument on behalf of the EU is that it will avert among disorderly European
Nations future wars. One would think that it is possible to work out a world
map that consists of many hundreds more new nations that manage to live in
peace, deconstruct weapons factories and weapons of mass destruction,==even if
it were to take one exceptional State located on a far away island that would garrison
a ‘foreign legion’ were their interference ever necessary.
