Is LIBERTARIANISM just another UTOPIA?
Ralph Schoellhammer joins me on Kate Wand Podcast.
Is libertarianism a viable political system, or just another utopia?
Ralph Schoellhammer, political commentator, joined me to discuss this and much more. It seriously challenged some of my premises and gave me a lot of food for thought. Hope you enjoy it too. Please leave your comments in YouTube or below!
ALSO! We have been very busy renovating our house to put on the market for our move to Mexico. We are almost done the intense, all-encompassing renos, and will soon have much more time to produce video and written content as usual.
If you want to read more about it, check out my last piece below:
The Revolution That Was
Very Opinionated is a publication written by me and my partner William Gervais. We are passionate about producing podcasts, videos, and this Substack. We write about culture, society, ideology, politics, philosophy, liberty, and more. If you enjoy reading, watching, and listening to our work, please
Nice!
Humans evolved from family structures, social organizations, Our ancestors did not hunt Mastodon, Alone, nor, could they have.
I have seen places without a functional " state" places of pure anarchy.
Hierarchy developed, order developed, the strong, the ruthless, established dominance and control.
The weak, had to either Die, serve, or band together with others in order to resist the strong.
Anarchy doesn't produce freedom, it produces struggles for dominance in the real world.
For evidence, examine any region on earth , at any time, without an organized state.
( West Africa at times, Somalia, Central aAfrica.)
Take notice that even primitive cultures, ie, Amazonian tribes, New Guinea high lands, their is an organized functioning socio political system.
No Anarchy.
That said,
Minarchism,
In form of a Constitutional Republic, provides, to date, the greatest preservation of Individual liberty, security, stability.
Which is why I favor Minarchism.
Though,
If only Humans were not so, Human..
Total liberty, freedom and love between, for, in all is a beautiful dream.
That's all it is though, a fantasy.
Like, Marxism/Socialism/Fascist utopia's,
Fantasy.
The reality of those fantasies is brutality, cruelty, and mass graves.
Thank you for sharing such a poignant and beautiful family story with us. Out of curiosity are you moving to Mexico for better opportunities or to get away from Canada's ever growing totalitarianism? Whatever the reason, it's none of my business, and I do wish you nothing but the best in all your endeavors. I do hope you will continue writing and producing content in the future regardless of where you may go! Blessings
