Wow. At least you're being original :p

Actually, as long as we have rulers, we can't even do that. You may be aware of the US quickly turning into a nasty police state. Do you think the people being "governed" had a say in that?
The only possible solution is to have no rulers.
- snowwrestler 13y agoSaying "let's get rid of rulers" is like saying "let's get rid of the ends of a piece of string." It's a logical impossibility. All you can do is replace rulers.
- whatevsbro 13y agoAll it takes is for the belief in political authority to dispel. Unfortunately, that's a massive change from where we are today.
- snowwrestler 13y agoAnd how does massive social change come about? Via organized campaigns. Which have leaders. Who become the new rulers if they succeed. In the last century the Chinese and Russians collectively agreed to give up concepts of property and privilege for the betterment of all. Except, some of them only pretended to do that. So they ended up with everyone else's property and privilege. It's not hard to convince every single person that they should not be ruled. It's impossible to convince every single person that they should not rule. There's always someone who thinks they could do it better if they were in charge.
