A Graphic for Trump Protesters
OMW, yes! Attention: Trump protesters lighting cars on fire, throwing rocks at police horses, and everything else… There is wisdom here. As well, your viva revolution, fighting the man, wishing for fewer cops and less government, is not going to bring about socialism; it will bring about anarchy and libertarianism before that. That means you still are going to have to get off your ass and take whatever job is available … Just like the rest of us have had to do for decades.
Let me move a little bit more on this point … the Worker’s World crowd is trying to bring about a socialist utopia. But by protesting an end to cops, an end to authority, etc., won’t bring about its utopia socialist dream; in fact, just the opposite, in my view.
If society eliminates the police, just, makes them illegal, the onus of protection of self, private property, etc., becomes those individuals who have the power to protect themselves. See: “The Walking Dead,” as an example. Those people with power and arms protect themselves, a very libertarian principle; there will be little – if any – top down sharing from a government only the set up authority structure.
If society then bans authoritarian structures altogether, like government or the military, then, I would surmise, we would move from the libertarian to complete anarchy. How do the Worker’s World crowd get their free college and healthcare and everything else at that point? They don’t. They’ll get their open borders, true; they’ll get their mayhem, true, something they seem to be enjoying now. But the end-game of the structure that is doling out $3,500 for insta-protesters is socialism, not libertarianism or even anarchy, which requires fending for oneself, by theory and probably practice.
