So why don't you offer some arguments about why it's wrong instead of simply declaring you won't accept it?
Alright, let's try this again...
My goal is a genuinely free society.
Utopia. How...childish. Beautiful. But, quite immature. Try setting an attainable goal; after all, goals are meant to be attained. How about shooting for a Minarchy? Perhaps attempt to correct where we went wrong with our republic the first time?
I believe step number one in achieving that goal is increasing the percentage of liberty activists.
Provided they are well armed, I have no objection to this.
The FSP, even though by no means perfect, and perhaps having too high of goal (20k), I think is the best chance for accomplishing step number one.
I disagree with your opinion entirely. I believe that the best chance we have is to resist tyranny whenever it presents itself and at first sign, NOT after goals have been reached in order to pacify some political aspiration or migration to New Hampshire. My point is this: If the PEOPLE collectively refuse to take a stand on their own, then what chance do they have of ever doing the same in New Hampshire? It is true, there is power in numbers, but you said so yourself; the 20k member goal is too unrealistic. Why do you suppose this is so?
According to Denis Goddard 60 people could entirely shutdown the statists in NH.
Oh, well if Dennis says so, then it must be true. (sarcasm) Yet, I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Let's wait and see, shall we?
Government is an idea.
Attacking an institution that exists only because people believe it is legitimate is absurdly useless.
Wrong. I propose attacking the tyrants and enemies of the republic. I do not believe that the current government is legitimate, as it operates under cover of national security and emergency of war powers. The entire monetary system is empowered by a single illegal act of Congress (USCA Title 12, Section 95(b), enforcing the Trading With The Enemy Act of 1917, as amended by FRD's Pres. Procl. of March 6, 1933) thus making all citizens enemy of the federal Gov't.
I don't have a moral problem with violence against government, but I do have a problem with completely useless activity.
Uh. Try not to be overly contradictive, now.
Why don't you try striking at the root instead of at the limbs?
Are you trying to get under my skin? This question should be directed to you, not I.
Why do you think that you always fail? It is because your enemy is one step ahead of you. Right at this very moment, average citizens are being classified as "domestic terrorists" for committing even the most mundane crimes, we're talking about having a spool of speaker wire in the trunk of your car kind of ridiculous, here. As TIME passes, while some continue to fight with words and picket signs, the path toward revolution is being buried by increased gestapo tactics and brutal efforts aimed at the civilian populace. Let's be completely honest, folks. Your enemy us not stupid. They know very well what an uprising would do, they know that guerilla warfare is a no-win situation. And when your non-violent plan fails, when you have less than a precarious chance of victory, it will be far too late, as the moment has passed. All hopes for a free society will be forever lost due to a few thousand timid spirits who could not accept reality.
Absolute moronic bullshit spouted from the depths of paranoia, fear, and ignorance.
Why? Because you say so?
The truth is liberty is ripe for the picking. The minds of men are growing more complex, and ignorance is ceding to reason. Liberty is inevitable.
Very optimistic. Now, what do you propose to offer that entails making progress?
Time, ladies and gentlemen, is NOT on your side. It truly is a commodity which is quickly running out.
Time is on no one's side.
"Give me control over a nations currency, and I care not who makes its laws." -Who said that? I believe it was somebody who had time on his side.
Goddard, by "fighting force" I mean a well armed and prepared militia. I mean utilizing the application of force against tyranny.
Tyranny is a byproduct of the illogic of the idea of government. Fighting it achieves nothing in the end.
REALLY? So, we shouldn't resist tyranny. We shouldn't fight government because it will achieve nothing in the end? No wonder why you cannot gain supporters...
And I am not building an army, I merely suggested this rational, yet radical logical solution for the current problem.
Sorry, it is neither rational nor logical. It is a consequence of a faulty understanding of the problem at hand, and blames the proximate cause for the ultimate cause's problems.
Incorrect. The application of force is not illogical since the result of change will often times produce results. "Blaming" insinuates WORDS and inaction, as applied FORCE does not blame, it punishes...and more specifically, creates change and the opportunity for progress to be made.
I just don't see any point in discussing the futile attempt of trying to change the system by voting and picketing.
Yes, I can see how if one dismisses ideas out of hand because of preconcieved notions one would be led to this conclusion.
We must learn from our mistakes, or be destined to repeat them. For a person who carries around so much animosity for 'gubments', you sure do defend the democratic process a lot.
Sure, you can vote for the privilege of raising a militia, but it is counterproductive and doesn't make any sense. What I proposed to discuss is the actual action required to overthrow tyranny, not semantics and blind faith in democracy.
Your inability to grasp how one may successfully utilize the system at hand demonstrates your failure as a thinking individual.
Please teach me how to "utilize" the system, then? Perhaps I may direct you to a little cause we have been fighting for several years now:
http://www.wethepeoplefoundation.org/#LatestNewsIf you want true freedom in this lifetime, or any other for that matter -you must be willing to spill some blood.
Certainly I am. But your ill-conceived reasoning of what works and why leads you down a path of absolute insanity.
Again, you have been swayed by propaganda and decadence. You believe that a patriot is a hindrance to your precious cause. And, just as expected, once our cause succeeds, the timid and fearful will join...but by then it will cost NOTHING to be a patriot. Not my words, just some more ill-conceived reasoning, I suppose.
Freedoms are sufferable, you cannot expect others to get out of your way simply because you claim to have moral superiority or just cause, without backing your proposal with the intention of force. Dictatorships and mobs do not part way for fanciful slogans and peaceful picketing. End of story.
Dismissing ideas is no way to get to the truth.
You should take some of your own advice.
