I am afraid there aren't enough of us, rather many people are conditioned to antisocial personality disorder, the main symptom of which is the need for power over other people. Since government is the exercise of power, these worst of these people are attracted to government office, hence even if government was intended to be free of corruption, it always becomes corrupted.
When agriculture was invented, people became invested in land and this made them ripe from plunder by groups that remained hunter/gatherers. The raids by those not invested in land were destructive of production, and eventually agriculturalists made deals with the strongest group of raiders for regular tribute (tax) in return for protection against other raiders. This was the birth of government, and essentially those in government had the upper hand because their business was the use of violence. Government has always been plunder and control by those in power, despite the illusion that we are free because we can vote for our masters.
My husband and I were talking the other day about politics and I said if I’m anything I’m an anarchist. This substack just confirmed it. Proud to be one, tired of all the political crap and governmental control!
Welcome to the Revolution... err.. evolution! In my book, "Government" the Biggest Scam in History... Exposed! I make the case that the organized crime system behind "government" has used their control of the dictionary (with evidence!) to change the definition of Anarchy from "Without a Ruler" to "Chaos and Dystopia." We are rebranding to Voluntaryism which means the same thing BUT comes from the moral high ground that all relations between humans should be voluntary without all the "Brute Force Manufactured Consensus" behind anarchy.
"Do you believe that most politicians are selfish, egotistical swine who don't really care about the public interest? Do you think we live in an economic system which is stupid and unfair?"
Fantastic thinking.

Agree.. but they are now being exposed.. I am going to be the guy who widely exposes the illegitimacy and criminality of "the system"
