Hello,

I do not see why you are such a hater of authority. History shows that there will always be a good government in those nations and civilizations that are to put their mark on world history. Anarchy is fascism in practice if you ask me, there is no legal system to protect the weak and there is no government to stake out the future and walk the road ahead. This is a sad fact, but it is just the way it is in this world. We need our leaders. The anarchy-fascism we see today is covered behind its capitalist dream-system of illusion. Their pathetic products and so-called good democracy fools us all; they dirty our minds with their drugs, sexism and so on. This is pure anarchy - the rights of the strong are protected, while the weak are beaten upon.

This is not what we want. We do not want the corporations to take over the functions of the state, by bribing our politicians, speaking of free trade and democracy as if they were saving gods. Nope, not for me. I do not want their feudal system.

In my system there is a strong and good government to protect the weak and beat upon those who are trying to destroy for us all. We are all equal. And we have to fight the evil circle of religion, politics and economy to achieve this goal. It will not be easy and certainly, some of the elements will have to stay.
