you know how most our tax dollars right now are going towards "defense", well imagine if we cut 95% of that.

That's one of the most anti-American statements ever made. Private property for some but not for others. Sure, that'll bring peace and tranquility.

So you don't know history, no wonder you can't plan a rational future, "with the same freedom and luxuries as you have grown accustomed to as having here."

Are you really that ignorant? Military spending is 21% of what the feds will spend this year. 60% is spent on the things like, "all the benefits which come with it." Who's going to pay for those benefits for the rest of the world?

Hey, what a great idea. No police, the "Global Army" will protect us from everything. Somebody else will have to call them though, after you've been hacked to pieces.

I don't want to reach a puberty where you are waiting to fuck me with your idiotic schemes.
It's crystal clear you don't understand how the economy works, how the military works, how government works and most dangerous, how people/society works.

American economy? The only way to get other countries up to the level as America is for them to work. If get into their politics it will only end up in pieces.

You can not cut most of the funds. A lot of it goes to scholarships and other things that can not be cut.

He is talking about a stateless society much like real Communism (not USSR communism) or true anarchy. This type of thinking is usually any extreme left-economic style.

Not you. It would be the people that are multi-millionaires and billionaires.


The only way to get a world like Rexmons is proposing is make a very far-left economic society. If you did use captialism, it would never end up like that.

He's saying super-state not stateless. I don't see how a government that removed from the people would be accountable. We've got a big enough bubble of unreality in DC, can you imagine when Pakistan hosts the world congress?

Anarchy (An-Cap flavored) I could live with, excepting that little problem where violent people keep trying to make governments to rule others.

He/she said private property was fine for some, that's communism where some (pigs) are more equal that others.

If you took all the millionaire's and all the billionaire's, money, you wouldn't even come close to that tab.

No, there is no way... at all, ever. It's a poorly thought out pipe dream.... John Lennon/Yoko Ono territory.
