Governments replaced those robbers, you just cannot escape nor defend yourself :-)
- akiselev 6y agoMost people couldn't escape or defend themselve from robbers if they wanted to, let alone vote against them. That's why governments replaced them.
- natmaka 6y agoAFAIK (at least in most European countries) such robbers didn't attack villages, and people willing to travel tried hard to do it in groups (pilgrims, merchants). You now have nearly no way to escape your (Occidental) government. Wherever you go, whatever you do, whoever you associate with. If you really believe you can change the power-that-be by voting let's say we disagree.
- Meekro 6y agoEscaping your government is easy. There are plenty of places on Earth you could go that have essentially no (functional) government. People tend to run from these places, not to them.
- natmaka 6y ago> Escaping your government is easy. It isn't, and technical progress (transport and communication means) made it more and more difficult. > People tend to run from these places, not to them. It depends. Historically see for example the Zomia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asian_Massif#Zomia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asian_Massif#Zomia ) , and some Spanish cities during the civil war ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_in_Spain#Anarchist_presence_in_the_Spanish_Civil_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_in_Spain#Anarchist_p... ). For an ongoing case take a look at Rojava ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_Administration_of_North_and_East_Syria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_Administration_of_N... )
