23A024 A Future of Freedom by Jim Davies, 6/13/2023

Government doesn't work, as 10,000 years of warfare clearly attest; and last week's ZGBlog shows there is a complete lack of rationale for any to exist.

The alternative of doing without any has to start somewhere, so let's suppose it had first been tried in Ukraine, say around the year 2000. See how different history since then would have been.

There would have been nobody in Kiev to apply to join NATO, and had NATO invited the UkeGov to join, the letter would have been returned to sender marked "NOT KNOWN HERE, POSTAGE DUE". Victoria Nuland would have had no need to bake cookies or to use naughty words on the telephone.

Nobody would have troubled residents East of the Dnieper had they chosen to speak Russian and trade mostly with Russians. Neither cause of the present war would therefore have arisen.

The people would have learned how to depend on themselves and work productively, trading with anyone anywhere, and would have excelled in producing food and fuel - becoming by now one of the most prosperous societies in the region. They would have emulated the Swiss by keeping guns in every household, so as to deter any criminal domestic or foreign - but, there being no government, there would also have been no army, and therefore no "Azov Regiment" that so aggravates Mr Putin.

What's not to like?

That's one country only, which would not be very significant but for the present War of Russian Independence. Now suppose that instead of Ukraine it was America, whose government had imploded at all levels in 2000.

As well as the vast range of benefits to the domestic economy and population, which have been described or mentioned in very many of the ~800 ZGBlogs in the archive, that would have meant that no American presence would have been seen in NATO. Very likely therefore, that military alliance would have folded; and for sure, it would not have been perceived in Moscow as a serious threat. Hence the major casus belli of the present conflict would have been missing.

The secondary cause of the war was the persistent shelling by the UkeGov of its people in the East who wished to secede, and to whose rescue Russia came in February 2022. Probably the absence of US influence would have made no difference there, except that the UkeGov could not have depended on US help. That in turn would have meant a considerably swifter Russian victory; by now the conflict would be long over.

So that gives a couple of examples of the huge benefits of zeroizing government even in a single country - one small, one large. But freedom is for all, so before long (albeit after my own time, alas) every country will embrace it, and so all government everywhere will be only an ugly memory.

How? - by withdrawal of labor. Think of what is essential for a government to exist. One might name money, ie tax revenue; but no, they can and do all print money at will (or create it electronically.) So they can do without taxes; a tax strike will not bring them down. Or one might say they depend on votes, but that's not so either; elections are a complete farce and make little or no difference and if nobody turned out to vote it would make even less.

True, all governments depend on general public support (of which votes are one expression) but that's primarily shown by obedience to its commands and by agreeing to perform a government job. If nobody will do that, they're finished.

How, then, can everyone be persusaded not to accept a government job? There's a non-trivial task, especially if jobs are scarce and the offered wages, high. The answer lies in systematic, universal education, which is what TOLFA provides. Every graduate is so disgusted with what government is and does that he makes that firm resolve. On a regular basis he also finds a friend to take the course too, so the number of people refusing to work for it grows exponentially.

That's how. It's very simple, and completely infallible. If that is done, government will vanish - for it consists only of people who will work for it.
