How We Are Going To Change Politics

How are we going to change politics? That’s probably the number one question on everyone’s mind. Almost everyone believes in the incompetence of our current politicians. Almost everyone believes in the corruption of our current government agencies and institutions. From the DMV to public schools, we’re absent of institutions which can competently license our drivers or educate our children. But, how do we change it? How do we change politics? How do we change society? To fix something, we must know what is broken. Some might say government is what is broken. But, it’s not just government that’s broken. It’s freedom. Freedom is broken. Government is the break. The solution to fix our broken freedom is to eliminate government.

Eliminating government must be based on solidarity and agreeability. If we want to fix politics and society, and if we want to fix the problems that are facing us, we must fix these problems for everyone. We must find solutions that appease everyone. We cannot base our agenda or battles solely on our own personal needs. Rather, we must recognize the battles that reap benefits for all people.

We cannot afford to make enemies of our peers. We must remember, agendas and goals that many people do not find acceptable are not agendas that support freedom, rather such isolating divisive agendas are manifestos of government. Such governmental manifestos breed wars between nations of peers. These peers are no morally superior or inferior to each other. Such manifestos and peer wars destroy freedom, kill freedom, murder freedom. Our battles must not consist of coercing, enslaving, or robbing our peers.

In contrast, agendas, goals, and manifestos which are agreeable by the bulk of society allow and entice voluntary solidarity. While our fights and our battles may not remain easy, safe, or lucrative, these battles must remain agreeable. We must work in a way that is compatible with our peers. If our freedom is not compatible with the equal freedom in our peers, then our freedom is no freedom at all; it would be either tyranny or slavery. But, if it is compatible… if we work in a way that benefits us and our communities… if we work in a way that is incompatible with tyranny… if we work in a way that is incompatible with slavery… if we work in a way that is compatible with freedom… then our labor is our fight… then our day to day struggle is our battle… then our intelligent determination, our daily hard-work, and our communal solidarity is our revolution!

We must turn our backs on government. And, we must put our labor and intelligence into promoting power and strength in our own communities. But, as we build are communal strength, and as we claim are rightful wealth and power, we must exercise ourselves and our power in a way that is void of the governance of our peers. I’m no pacifist; I believe in self-defense. BUT! We must never mirror the governmental tactics of our oppressors. So, we must not ever use our wealth or solidarity in governmental or coercive ways. Our wealth must be based on our own labor and intelligence. Our solidarity must be based on voluntary concord. Our revolution must be based internally. With labor and solidarity, VIVA LA REVOLUCION!
