I'm an anarchist who believes
I'm an anarchist who believes in a strong police force and a good, stable representative democracy. Capitalism is pretty cool, since through a hard work ethic it lets people rise up to the point of being a manager or owner of a company, and thereby contribute even more. Also, I firmly believe in America and the American dream.
-- Noam Chomsky
This my response to the above post from Anarchy.com
These are not Chomsky's thoughts and that kind loses me in if you are an Anarchist at all? Capitalism is a poor basis for government just as communism, while being a find personal practice, also makes a poor form of government. The strong police force sounds comforting; yet, these kinds of enforcement are almost universally abusive to the public.
Freedom is the key to all moral success. Weather it is reaching success as a business owner or as a state employee, freedom is the key and is what makes America different than any other country and why no other countries system can apply here. The government is the peoples will. Let's take this a little further. America has a great deal of Federal and State lands containing vast resources. The government oversees the harvesting of oil, gas, timber, minerals, water and on and on. These resources are the property of the citizens of the United States of America. So when these resources are sold by a business why don't you receive royalties. The Alaskan government does this. It is called the Alaskan Permanent Fund. All sales of resources from state land are levied for 25% of the royalties and these funds are collected for five years. The money is invested and the five year average is paid out to the citizens if Alaska.
Every man, woman and child each year receives a check for around $2500.00-$3000.00. Even though all resources may be taken the checks will continue because they are from the invested monies profits. If we the people are the government then we are owed a great deal of money because we are not England or France. We are the only government that is representative of the people. We are not members, slaves, employees, or the population. We are the owners and rulers of our government. If we started behaving as such we would become prosperous again and have our freedoms returned to us. Think about it... it is yours. No where else is this true. Only America and that is the reason America will not fail. We will once again take our government back.
Funny that Chomsky is anti-Zionist. Another Diaspora people are the Armenians. Although the Armenian Genocide was in 1915 or so they have not had a homeland for a very long time. You can see the work or their stone masons in the first churches of Jerusalem. A few years ago they got their own country. They are a different religion too. The Armenian Orthodox Church. Maybe he forgot to get excited about these people seeking to have their native land returned to them after a few thousand years.
Now as an Anthropologist I have had problems with Noam's recent ideas(from the late 60's on. He became a mainstream leftest spokesman and no longer a dissonant anthropologist and linguist. I thank him for his taking a stand when no one else would. That was brave. Even if I don't agree I respect him for seeing differently. We who propose something other than the status-quot are frequently discredited.
I don't consider myself an Anarchist. Many others do and that gets me fired often. It comes with the job. I think different and see a bigger picture. I am brighter than most but that isn't what makes me different. I prove my theories even if I have to pay for the experiments to explore my ideas. Sometimes I am wrong. That's OK. It is good to be humble.
So what am I saying... be yourself and don't ever fear to be different. You very well might end up a martyr and death is a price we sometimes pay. It's OK. It is one of the industrial diseases of our profession. (Thank You Dire Straights)
