http://www.theanarchistalternative.info/zgb/ Rational Refreshing Reflections on What's Happening Now en-en Fri, 01 Jul 2022 15:51:28 -0500 http://www.theanarchistalternative.info/zgb/recent.gif http://www.theanarchistalternative.info/zgb/ http://www.theanarchistalternative.info/zgb/index.html http://www.theanarchistalternative.info/zgb/index.html 22A026.htm 22A026 Wars in the ZGS by Jim Davies, 6/28/2022   They are inseparable; war and government go together. You want government, you'll get war. Therefore, if you're not yet an anarchist, you are endorsing war. That makes you morally defective. Wars consist of violent quarrels between governments. It follows that after all governments have vanished from the face of the Earth, so will wars. So, again, I could leave the rest of this page blank to convey the point; there won't be any wars when all humans live in zero government societies. However that most desirable change will not happen overnight - not even in a single country, let alone all 215 countries. My Transition to Liberty suggests how it will take place in America, first. Let's suppose we're at the stage of having a ZG Former USA (FUSA) but with governments persisting elsewhere. A temporary but confusing and tricky period; hopefully, very short. News of the very radical change in this country will have spread everywhere, so things will not be black & white; many other societies will be in states of flux. Their populations will be realizing that their own governments are neither necessary nor beneficial, and will be learning (from such as TOLFA, duly translated) why and how to live without one; State employees will be quitting their jobs in accelerating numbers and the rulers will be shaking in their boots. When those rulers perceive their pending doom, they will get desperate, and may lash out. That's the danger of this transitional period. One or more may think to wage war against FUSA in the hope of strangling the movement to freedom. Suppose they plan to invade. What then? Given that their own employees will have begun to walk off the job, they will first have a problem assembling an invasion force. Then they will face the severe difficulty of knowing what to do after landing, say on the coast of Maine. "Take me to your leader" they may say, but there won't be any leader. So their army sweeps through the country, trying to govern all residents - who will know to ignore them, or at least not to work for them in any way. How exactly are they to administer their conquest? To whom do they go, to obtain a surrender? Oops! There will not even be a spokesman to announce he will not speak! And the task of imposing a government when none exists will be so formidably expensive as to motivate the invader to declare victory and go home - much like Napoleon did, after reaching Moscow in 1812 but finding it had been vacated. And if any extra persuasion is needed, there will be plenty of residents eager to practice their gun-control skills on patrolling soldiers at the dead of night. The costs of victory - or rather, of occupation - will be far too great.
