"Government doesn't work. We just need to make a new government that is much more effective and far reaching in controlling people's behavior."

- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoBanding together and refusing to accept harmful money is indeed akin to creating a government, and would indeed be more effective at controlling people's behavior. But participation would be voluntary, and the restriction of harmful behavior would apply to it's enemies, not its citizens. So I'm not quite sure what the problem is.
- satvikpendem 2y agoThat's not what they said though. Seems to me more of a libertarian ideal than making a new government.
- jrflowers 2y agoReinventing government and calling it a private corporation is one of the main activities that libertarians engage in
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoI don't really care what you call it so long as participation is voluntary and it effectively curtails harmful behavior.
- jrflowers 2y agoA system of governance, if you will.
