Voluntary Society - Home

Collectivists always want to change man for the better. Like all life, humans are inherently inclined to private property and trade. It is the natural order. No "improvement" is required. Only the avoidance of indoctrination by government and religion is required for a non-violent and prosperous humanity.

God and Country, Religion and Nationalism, Superstition and Ego, Fraud and Force, Lies and Tyranny have always been the means by which the few plunder the many. To placate the minions while eliminating the need to placate the church, government-sanctioned religion was replaced with government-sanctioned education.

So many think they know what's best for others that it was safe for the few to enable democracy, because it made the many believe they were free while they enslaved each other with their votes. The minority acquiesced to the enslavement without the cost of enforcement by Knights of the Realm or Praetorian Guards, because the losers participated in the vote. A little fluoride in the diet promoted acceptance of authority, and information control after government schooling assured votes for ever more laws, bureaucracy, taxes and borrowing from a central bank that could cycle credit to transfer all assets to the few.

Taxes, regulations, direct financial subsidies and indirect military subsidies were adopted as the means to control the uppity merchant class, and solicit their wealth.

Religions were then left to demonize others to sustain their authority and wealth as the religion of superstition is replaced by the religion of government.

Hopefully, the Internet window of opportunity will remain open long enough to help those disenchanted with government and religion adjust as government and religion fail to keep their promises, and the wizards are exposed.

We may not have met, but we have traded, however indirectly. We own ourselves. You have the need for sustenance, shelter and security as do I. You specialize your labor so that you may voluntarily exchange your excess production for some of mine. In so doing we maximize the return on our investment such that we have time for procreation, family, pleasure, education and innovation. That is our self interest. That is the Natural Order.

As humans, we have come a long way from hunters and gathers to farmers with crops to be stolen, taxed or taken as tribute. From tribal lords and witch doctors by acclimation, guile or conquest to kings and theologians by birth, membership or conquest to presidents and pontiffs by election, membership or fraud, we have tried ever larger and more sophisticated forms of organization to protect our property, but every time we exchanged some of our wealth and freedom to government for security, the government soon grew to serve and secure itself rather than protect the life, liberty and property of individuals from others, and at far more expense in wealth and freedom than we agreed in our contract or by our acclimation or indifference. That is the self interest of government and those who work for it, and benefit from it, the mercantilists and other parasites.

People have always fled starvation, poverty and persecution. Many of those arriving on the shores of the New World just wanted to be left alone. Others wanted to establish their version of utopia. After enduring despots and potentates and the oligarchies by which they ruled, in 1774 there was an opportunity to skip the "balanced powers" experiment in federal governance entitled the United States of America, and embrace anarchy, but it was premature. People needed to experience a republic of democratically elected representatives before they could embrace self-governance.

It's taken over two centuries for a majority of The People to realize that they are still sheep to be sheered as free range livestock in a democracy instead of penned in fiefdoms. Democracy was a great invention. It saved the oligarchies fortunes in fences and guards while the sheep enslaved each other with votes, and blamed the majority for the crimes of the oligarchy.

There are those who just want to be left alone and there are those who just won't leave them alone. You are tired of people who think they know what's best for other people, want to "do unto others," or otherwise want to control your life, liberty and property by way of government. To fight back, you may have made and distributed signs, and attended political events to express you fear, disgust or outrage over a government gone mad. You may have become active in a political party or movement, or supported its candidates. You may have run for office. You may have been discouraged by the failure of your team to achieve enough influence to limit government.
You're stressed . Relax. There is an alternative to the quest for political power in order to achieve limited servitude.

You may have come to believe that politicians and bureaucrats cannot be so stupid so often, and assumed they must be taking bribes, being blackmailed or otherwise getting instructions from an oligarchy with interests other than those in their jurisdiction, so you investigated various conspiracy theories.

Frustrated, you found this Web site, or feeling your pain, a friend recommended it.

This need not be this or this .

The list of countries is growing as jurisdictions fragment to make the livestock happy. Eventually, the livestock will realize that the optimum number of countries is the number of people on the planet.

As the worldwide economic crises deepens, and governments fall, they need not be replaced with Machiavellians promising sustenance, shelter and security. They need not be replaced.
