Hollywood is so corrupt it has made a movie that says lawlessness is bad, but government giving its citizens permission to kill is good.
The Purge is probably one of the most pathetic left-wing attempts at displaying a "libertarian world" period. The new one is even called "The Purge:Anarchy". As a strong libertarian, and an anarcho-capitalist, I feel a strong need to give my thoughts on a movie that is promoting a statist utopia by "showing" what would happen in a lawless society. I understand this is a movie, but if they're going to make a movie preaching an incorrect message, expect to be corrected. Here comes the kraken, I mean rant.
This is one of the most politically biased movies I've seen in recent memory. I usually ignore the underlining message in movies as they're always peppered with liberal seasonings, but this one puts its message up front, sets it on a unicycle and sets it on fire before it gets mauled by bears. (Right-wing bears) Its so up front about its political agenda it should have been named, "Evil Rich White Religious Male Ring-Wing Pro-Life Tea Party Capitalist Republican Pig Libertarian Anarchism Is Worse Than Terrorism Worship Your Government". Seriously. This movie is DISGUSTINGLY left wing. Another good name could be "Our Lord And Savior Obama, Son Of God The Father Our Government And Holy Mother Hillary Clinton" What the movie says, is that one day a year, all crime is legal. All assistance such as police and hospitals are no longer available for 24 hours... And in that 24 hours, literally all hell breaks loose as every citizen in that nation begin killing EVERYONE. There is so much wrong with 100% of this, you would have to be a brain dead moron to buy into this for a second. The movie says YOU, yes you reading this, it says that you would go out and kill everyone you could find unless you're rich and white and have money to protect yourself. I couldn't bring myself to watch it. I read the screen-play and script stuff online. I'm going to have to tackle each section in a different paragraph as this movie is that stupid.
Lets begin with the governments role in the movie. The government has created a utopia! All people are safe all the time. Isn't that swell, however, the utopia is created through mass murder one day a year where the government ignores its people and encourages them to all go kill each other. Sounds like government utopia to me, everyone killing each other, it ignores its citizens, yeah sounds about right. So first off, the idea that government created utopia is impossible. There is no such thing as this, you want me to believe that a word is going to keep someone from killing someone else? Honestly, people kill now right? And its illegal now. But I guess since one day a year, all crime is legal, meaning through government permission, you are allowed to commit crimes, meaning they have created a law to allow the murder of its own citizens. Which tells me the government is evil. Remember, everything Hitler did was legal. And lets not forget, the government in this movie encourages its citizens to commit crimes as they advertise it everywhere. So this chaos is government created, oops... I guess this movie is proving government is the problem.
Although this movie would have you believe that the rich white family is the problem. As the rich white family has the money to arm their house to stay safe from this purge. But not arm it with guns, no no no, arm it with homeland security. I'm not even kidding. This movie is nothing more than a propaganda piece. As it shows the poor under privileged poverty ridden minimum wage minority workers dying in the streets as the state is no longer there to keep them alive. As if people are literally one word away from killing each other. If all crimes were legal you wanna know what I would do? Everything I do every day. Save my money to buy nice things, relax while watching TV, and pet my cat. But this movie would have you seeing me cutting my neighbors head off with a saw while I steal 100% of everything I own after gutting my friends kids. As I can't afford to live on minimum wage so I'm forced to steal... I'm getting angry sitting here typing this as this is the biggest propaganda piece I've seen in my over twenty years of life. It makes me sick to think people saw this movie.
Speaking of making me sick, Hollywood, Hollywood has ruined movies for me. I no longer go to the movies as everything has a spin on it. There is so much spin on some movies I'm on the verge of puking. If you believe Hitler was far right, congratulations, you are the spawn of this disgusting media. Hitler wanted total government control, which is far left. I also can't stand how Hollywood forgets to mention that in this movie taxation is not thievery, government giving permission for everyone to kill each other is OK, and shutting off all emergency systems is fine as long as government does it. Seriously.. The biased view of government given permission to kill is one of the most atrocious ideas there is. That the one in power will allow those living under its law to kill each other at times. That is no different than dog fighting. But the media says its the lawlessness that's wrong, not the government giving permission to kill.
Now, lets move to everything they got wrong.
1.The word anarchy and anarchism. As they use the word to mean chaos and zero law. When the word really means to practice the art of not being governed, to have no rulers, and to have no masters. However obeying the absolute law which is the NAP and voluntaryism. Which is peaceful. Anarchy is the only non hypocritical and the only peaceful stance in all of the political spectrum. And true anarchy, anarcho-capitalism. Communism uses government meaning it cannot be anarchy.
2.The idea that if everyone were to break laws one day each year, absolutely no other crimes would ever be committed except for on that one day crime is legalized. As if evil is created through freedom, and all authority is pure and to be obeyed even though the authority in this movie created a corrupt law that gives permission to kill.
3.The idea that if there were no laws, all of a sudden everyone turns into a cold blooded murderer that only wants to steal, kill, torture and destroy. Which this is the theory that all creation is evil and must be given a leader. However since everyone is evil that means the leader is too, and he is now the most powerful evil human there is, and will only create an unjust, corrupt empire.
4.If this were to happen, not everyone would just go along with it, there would be an overthrow of this government the day crime is legalized and dismantle this government that allows blood sport.
5.Utopia cannot be reached through government, as no matter what decision is made, someone will disagree no matter what, meaning as long as someone is in control, someone will disagree, disproving the utopian through government theory.
6.If all crime was legal, people would eventually burn down every building, house and structure there is, with no one to put out these fires, cities would burn to the ground in the 24 hours and there would be nothing left. Defeating the entire movie.
7.The flaw is not lawlessness, it is the government granting permission to kill and commit crimes.
8.This movie COMPLETELY leaves out free markets. As, if this were real, the free market would see demand for safety and shelter during this time, and create supply for demand. Which creates jobs and would save lives in this case. Also would create clean up crews, police during this lawless time and you would see 100% privately owned police, fire fighters and other public jobs.
9.They believe that government is order, even though this movie demonstrates a government that steals through taxation, gives its citizens the permission to kill anything and destroy property.
10.The idea so terribly misguided its laughable that if a government were to do this, everyone would just go along with it.
There is so much more I could say but you get the point. This movie is nothing more than government worshiping propaganda. Stop seeing these movies. Stop giving these people money.
The government needs people to survive. People do not need a government to survive.
Live free.

Government is not permanent, it can only attempt fixing what has already passed, increases the number of people which increases flaws, and adds a third step to slow every process, at what point is government a good idea?
I can already hear the leftists complaining over my title. The idea that anarchy is order, government is a monopoly on violence, and you, yes, you, live under anarchy right now. Without anarchy, you would not exist. Allow me to explain in the following words, if this does not "wake you up", you are unhelpable, (for my sake, lets agree that is a word) if after reading this, you still cannot entertain the idea of anarchism, you can thank the schooling you probably brag about for giving you such a non accepting ignorant way of thinking. On that sour note, I say we begin!
So, you woke up today, at a time you set, probably 15 minutes after the exact time. (At least I do that) You brushed your teeth so you would have tolerable breath and some pearly whites. You've dressed yourself in some clothes you bought, you made a little outfit to wear to seem socially acceptable. You may have had breakfast, I usually skip, but its your choice! You want breakfast? Make the best breakfast you've ever had! Then off to work or school most likely. And to end your day, you stopped at the store to buy a water bottle. Now let me be the first to say it, congratulations on using anarchism! Yes you. By living your life the way you've chosen to live it, you have engaged in anarchism. You set your alarm, you're self regulating, you didn't need a regulation to make you do that. You've chosen to brush your teeth, an act of freewill unseen by the government. You've picked out your clothes, a government didn't buy those for you. You even went as far as making breakfast, all by yourself! What an outstanding anarchist you are! And yes I hear you, you statist, "But if muh government didn't regulate the food to make sure it was safe, then I could have been poisoned!" Are you saying that if food went unregulated, and you had a chance of hurting yourself, you would not have checked it yourself? You're saying that if government did not check your food, you would not check your own food? You would not even check what you're putting into your body? You're smarter than that, come on. And finally, when you bought that water bottle, you've acted in voluntary exchange that benefited both parties, which was an act of freedom by not being forced to buy it, you've also helped the business, meaning you're using the basic concept of a free market. However the government intruded on even that and stole its tax money from that almost solely voluntary exchange between parties. So if it went without government, the only thing that would have changed is after that transaction, you would have had more money left over! Wow.. Government sure is a downer..
Government is so intrusive and rude. If I were to use a metaphor, the government would be the bully threatening everyone for their lunch money because he was stronger. Or it would be the mafia, "selling" protection from violence, which is just saying, "hey, give me money, and I wont do violence on you". Government is really a forceful threatening entity isn't it? I am even offended that so many voted for more government. That's just the increase of people saying threatening things to me. I care about you, that's why I don't want the government to steal your money on my behalf. To believe the government is capable of running ANYTHING successfully is utter idiocy. "Yes, lets give complete and total power to someone that believes in 2014, that the only way to obtain money is to steal it", really? You're placing the foundation of a country on that? You're telling me that if the government ceased to exist, by 2014 we would still not have roads? If private companies were welcome in "capitalist" America, we would have had solar roads decades ago! Under government, ideas are not welcome. As taxation, the idea of collecting money by threats of imprisonment, which if you say no to imprisonment, you are shot, beaten, maced, tackled, and dragged to prison if you aren't killed. How is that better than voluntary cooperation? "Well if it were voluntary, not everyone would pay" My argument to that, not everyone pays now. "Well, it would be so small, the government would have to shrink and couldn't sustain itself" OK, good, that's my point. To agree with taxation, is to agree with immorality. Taxation being taking of property without consent of the owner. Let me type you a quote, since you disagree with morality in some cases. "If you disagree with morality, I may rape your mother". See? If you say in some cases immorality is correct, then anyone is allowed to define at what point morality begins and ends. What will it take for people to learn that taxation is stealing?
Taxation, citizens are placing their trust in a group of people that believe stealing is an affective way of making money.. That really points out how outdated the government truly is. "If we don't forcefully steal their money, they will not give it to us". Governments are perpetually outdated. A government looks backwards, to look at problems that have already happened, then tries to fix a problem that is already no more. That is not a valid way of operating. Just think, government doesn't help people BEFORE a problem happens, they help them AFTER its happened. Government only helps poor people AFTER the problem is too late. Healthcare only kicks in AFTER someone is sick. That is not innovation, that is a broken system. If government didn't help people, the people would be able to find the exact help they need, without waiting for months to see a generalized doctor that see's so many people that their practice is slowed to a crawl making everyone get worse before they're helped. If people were allowed to find the exact type of care they needed, they would be able to search all over the country for the right doctor, without the doctor being forced to treat so many patients, they would be seen for their problem sooner and become well before it gets worse. Free markets work. Black markets thrive. Government run anything is a broken system.
Something else government can't do. Government wont stop you from dying. It may drone you or have police come to your home which both could in fact kill you.. But do you really think the government is the answer? Its not. The government only perpetuates its own existence, and does not allow anyone else to do what its doing. It robs the rich and middle class, and the poor, forcing them lower, and gives a very very small amount of that to the the poor that is such a fraction, it only locks them in the place they're in so they are forced into dependence. The government even places so many tax codes, regulations, and permits into living off of your own business it doesn't allow most people to be free enough to do it. It also forces you to have to have a large amount of money to be able to pay for the permits and such. Its honestly depressing how the government doesn't allow those with less money to be able to take care of themselves. Its sad. However they get a bubble built around them. A safety net, that gives a false sense of security. "The government gave me healthcare", by stealing from everyone else, and if you're going to die, it will not stop it, nothing can. "The government keeps us safe from terrorism", then why do the terrorists still attack us? The government is not efficient at running anything. Private companies are sending us to our space station, the VA is sending vets to hospitals, and private companies are making solar roads!
Amidst everything that's wrong with government, what is the saddest part? The ones that believe in voluntaryism. The government has made everyone so brainwashed by giving them fake securities, fake because with healthcare people still die, with the NSA, TSA, ect we still have terrorists, those securities are all smoke and mirrors. The saddest part, is that everyone is so brainwashed, I am called insane for believing the idea that all interaction should be voluntary, and exempt of force. The idea that governing your own life, (even though you already do it every day) is considered crazy. The idea that being free, would lead to evil because of how humans naturally are, but putting these evil people in charge of all is a sane idea.. The disgusting idea that the TSA touching your crotch, that if you don't give the government money they will lock you up, that babies being harmed in unwarranted drug raids that usually harm babies and dogs, that not allowing some to defend them self by banning guns, that going to war and killing people half way around the globe is all in the name of freedom... That is the most disgusting lie I have ever heard.
However my political views are catching on, numbers are increasing. The idea of voluntaryism, anarchism, and anarcho-capitalism are all ahead of their time, those are the political views of the future. But we'll get there.This is just the birth of this political party, and its already come further than any other party has in their full lifespan. Jeffery Tucker is an amazing and intelligent individual that is an anarchist. If we want to see a true future, where everyone is equal, and where thievery, killing and all immoral actions are against the law, we have to stop allowing the government to commit these immoral acts and not hold them accountable. Immorality does not change if you work in government.
Now I'll end this with the best parts.
1. The concept of forced cooperation is very quickly being seen as what it truly is. Taxation is finally being called stealing.
2.The longer we have government, the more anarchists it creates, as it crushes someones freedom, they begin to research new ways to do things. Like voluntaryism and anarchism. Remember, anarchy means no leaders, not no rules.
3.Obamas second term has left a sour taste in the mouths of everyone that are not so ignorant they can't see the corruption. And as the government becomes larger, it creates more anarchists, more people that understand a centralized authority is not needed in this day and age. Meaning the state is killing itself with its own progress. What a tragic thought.
4.Finally, each person lives under their own governing every single day, even if they work in government, they still primarily take care of them self, meaning they are using a form of anarchy, so once people begin to figure that out. They'll see that anarchism is life, and is freedom. I believe I have finally converted from a minarchist. To an anarchist.
The government needs people to survive. People do not need a government to survive.

Laws affect nothing, people that want to commit crimes break the laws to do so
Can we take a moment to imagine a world without laws? What are your first thoughts? Murder? Thievery? Monopolies? Why is the first place we think of is crime?
Fear tactics, fear is used to create laws, meaning the law will not be respected, as cooperation built out of fear only creates followers as long as the fear lasts. Look at gun control, common debate points are, "If we don't ban all weapons, our children will continue to die". (When perhaps the people dying would not have died if they had been armed and capable of defending them self) But laws prevent that from happening, gun laws prevent people from using self defense, if the law were honest, it wouldn't say "preventing criminals from obtaining guns", when they're criminals. They wont obey the laws. If the laws were honest, they would say what they really do. "This gun ban law will remove guns from all who legally obtained a gun through the state verification process as they are listed in the state, criminals will keep their guns as their weapons are not registered with the state". Laws restrict those only living according to the law. Meaning those obeying the law have less rights than criminals. Laws restrict forms of self defense, you are allowed to defend your self if defense is on your property, within your home, if you have taken a significant amount of physical damage, if threats were made against you, if you do not use a firearm, if you hit the attacker only while he face you, if he broke into your home, if there are witnesses that see the fight based in your favor, and if the court agrees with your stance against the criminal. If those are met, you are then allowed to defend yourself, where if you don't obey the law, if you're being attacked, you defend yourself, its that simple. Looks like the criminals have more freedoms than citizens abiding by the law.
Now, what happens if someone in power becomes corrupt? They now not only have all the power, they can create corrupt laws that law biding citizens must follow. Look at the laws Hitler passed. It was illegal to hide or assist Jews. Or that blacks may not get an education. The idea of having corrupt laws passed is one of my biggest fears, I live according to the law and obey it, making bad laws forces individuals to break the law and become criminals. If an unjust law were set by a corrupt official, presented it as moral and mislead the majority to fall for it, we then have corrupt laws that punish those who once followed the law. Its far too easy to get caught with your pants down by stupid meaningless laws that do nothing but complicate things, raise the states income by catching someone standing in the wrong place, (which is real and called loitering) drinking unprocessed milk that you got from your cow on your farm is illegal, drinking a beer in the doorway of a bar is legal, lean one inch out and its public intoxication, hey in some states its illegal to create a user ID with a fake name and email! But you would never know, no one looks up their states laws every month to make sure article C of subsection 74-1 hasn't been modified to make an every day act illegal.
This leads me to question the true nature of laws, with each years brings only more laws, more restrictions and more regulation ON PEOPLE, these laws do not affect those putting them in place. Why would we need so many unnecessary laws that are so small such as standing, to big laws that allow the state to define how someone may defend them self? Killing someone has over 20 versions. That's wrong, killing someone outside of self defense is murder. But we place some murder above other, was it pre meditated? Or in cold blood? Did he know the person? Or was he a stranger? There is so much wrong with classifying some killing to be not as bad as other ways. "Well he killed that guy, but in cold blood, lets lighten his punishment", no, that doesn't make sense. To kill someone is to kill someone. But maybe its because I believe that hypocrisy is bad, and that corruption should be avoided.
While bringing up hypocrisy, laws ironically created the black market. Let me tell you what the black market is. It is true capitalism, real free markets, and zero regulations.
- Lets start with capitalism, you make money in a transaction, you keep it. Well that seems fair. Competition that lets more than one company enter the fold at making money. Meaning even you communists will get a kick out of this, as by government not taxing the mom and pop stores land, lights, power, water, sales, permits and income, there would be Wal-Marts, and mom and pop stores, because everyone is welcome in it. Meaning everyone gets an equal shot. What we see in America is NOT capitalism, its a disgusting nearly unrecognizable form of it, where the government helps only the largest companies. Meaning no one gets an equal shot.
-Now, onto real free markets. The black market is run on trade and supply and demand. Meaning if someone needs something, someone will see that need, meet it by providing said service, and will then make money. Making all involved better off. The seller wants money, so he makes something someone wants, that someone has money he wants to give for what the seller has, they make a voluntary trade, both parties win, its simple and beautiful! Also, if someone steals something, the seller will warn the other sellers to avoid that potential threat. Discouraging acting unlawful without placing any laws! And no, this can not be abused as they will have a database of transactions to check and see if its true or not. If a business wont pay a wage that seems fair, his workers may leave and find work ANYWHERE, as the government does not hold them back with paperwork and permits, the business will either allow work for the poor which will pay homeless to work, then giving them the money they need, allow kids to get jobs (if they want) and make money for that new Xbox coming out, while teaching them a lesson in responsibility, will force the business to pay more by lack of production, or even further use free markets by finding someone selling a service to help his! Which creates endless jobs, endless jobs! No government bureaucracy preventing all new comers. Not to mention the third party system that will track transactions like Bitcoin does, which will quickly show who is trust worthy and who isn't, thus losing their customers and naturally shutting down corrupt work places, and because it isn't of centralized origin, each place will have their own list to further prevent hacking.
-Here we go, regulations..."Well, they aren't great, but we need them!" No we don't... We need common sense laws like the NAP. Pollution? That's against human rights, no go. Slave labor? That's against human rights, no go. Monopoly? That's against human rights, no go. Buying out a business and forcing them to close? Not voluntary? Against human rights, no go. Forcing someone to buy your product? Not voluntary? Against human rights, no go. False claims to ownership or copyright infringement? Lying is an immoral act. Against human rights, no go. See? The world naturally takes care of itself with very basic laws that promote individual human rights. The black market is FLOURISHING ALL THE TIME. Why? No laws, no regulation, no government.
The more I study politics, the more I find myself agreeing with anarchists. "Oh they want no cops", no, it allows the free market to create jobs for private security firms that will make police and create jobs. "I don't like the idea of privatized cops, its just some guys with guns that stop crime", what makes regular cops any different? Nothing. Anarchism seems to be true freedom, true equal justice, and true forward progression for a society. The idea of giving one man power to run a country, and the strength of a military is utopian. "Anarchy will have people killing each other in the streets" why? Whats stopping them now? If you haven't noticed, laws are broken every day, if someone wants to commit a crime they are going to. A law will not stop them. And lets be completely honest, in this modern society, where every person in America understands the basic fundamentals of the concept to not hurt someone, why would a soccer mom begin killing toddlers with a baseball bat because there is no law telling her not to? She knows that killing will result in her own death, or loss of freedom and rights. If a criminal wanted to kill someone, do you think he would not kill them because the law? If that's true, why do people still kill? They break the law, the law does not stop criminals, it removes the human right to self defense and freedoms. What stops criminals is them knowing that they may be hurt, punished or killed, the only way to do that is to let people defend themselves in the same way as the police protect the president, the most efficient way, with a gun. Otherwise we are declaring that some human life is better than others. Laws are simply used to better control people, why can't we place laws over the government? In the free market, its immoral for a company to force you to buy their product, where government is allowed to force you, what if Wal-Mart forced you to buy their product? Not to mention that makes it impossible to gain truthful statistics. Saying government run anything is or can be successful is a lie. You cannot say a business is doing well if it forces everyone to buy from it or they will arrest them. Those are false statistics, show me a voluntary based government, then tell me your stats, until then, quit waving your Canada in my face. The wait times there are so horrendous people die waiting. People go in because their arm fell asleep, if you can see a doctor for anything, every hypochondriac would be wasting time seeing them for an eyelash in their eye while they force 300 people to wait for their arthritis to be checked. Forced participation is not participation. The government uses force because without forced participation, it would cease to exist, meaning it is not needed. The government needs people to survive. People do not need government to survive. That is a fact.
I'm not an anarchist yet... But I do believe in a zero government controlled economy, "anarcho-capitalism". Now remember. If it isn't voluntary, its force, if its force, its immoral, and if you agree with immoral actions, I then have the right to break your nose, as immoral actions are acceptable to you.
The government needs people to survive. People do not need a government to survive.
Live free.
