Governments, given power, inevitably hurt people

>governments, given power, inevitably hurt people
>people, given freedom, inevitably hurt themselves or others
So what the fuck do we do?

Kys

Hurt people and have fun.

accept it. and stay on top of that shit. people and governments can't be trusted so don't let them hurt you, or hurt them preemptively.

>Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam

Retire from the world and seek enlightenment.

Don't be on the wrong side.

change the definition of people/citizen

>governments somehow aren't people
>give them a monopoly on violence?????

Balance

Is

Key

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance

The price of security is eternal surveillance

Have a balance of order and freedom.

freedom aint free

Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. Those without the ability to remain vigilant or simply unwilling to stay vigilant do not deserve, and will not keep their freedom.

Suicide

I find myself relying on balance in pretty much everything in my life. I understand that it's primarily an eastern way of philosophy, of which I haven't read anything about, but just applying balance to everything seems to work out pretty nicely.

remain an hedonist, but not too much so that you can cling to your fantasy that you are not so degenerate

Hedonism is natural state of humans, degenerates are the one who reject simple happiness.

Smaller states

...

but searching for constant pleasure ultimatly leads to bigger suffering.

We give the power to the machines

dogmatically pursuing either hedonism or asceticism is degenerate. The civilised man will study both until he has a full understanding and appreciation of both and come to a synthesis that is best for him and for society. Superstitiously clinging to either monastic masochism or mystery-cultesque debauchery is the mark of a degenerate who has dragged himself backwards into the mind of a pre-enlightenment man.

We give power to those who heal.

Philosopher kings.

Adopt anarchist communism, where there is no power, for there are no institutions, and every man works for the benefit of his fellows instead of himself.

>there are no institutions
>everyone works for someone else's benefit
?????

He's a double-thinking leftist, lad.

Teach people to be virtuous.

The problem is people's minds are full of spooks that are difficult to overcome. Normies would rather listen to someone telling them what they want to hear than what they need to hear.

So virtue is not just about high ideals, but the effectiveness of implementing them, maintaining a distinction between "is" and "ought" of course.

but if i was going to get money regardless of how much work i had done then why would i work at all?

plus a system without power or institutions is easily exploitable. Just take a larger group of people and take over the power (since no one has it). And poof ... your anarchist communist government with no power is gone

Orwell was a socialist.

Look I'd rather have that than getting the shit kicked out of me by G4S because my Police Silver Subscription doesn't make me exempt from civil rights violations.
Explain to me how you'd prevent private policing from devolving into a protection racket?
