The universal law for a peaceful and prosperous society is
the Golden Rule. All other laws are just ways to violate the Golden Rule. Since
humans are subjective, the Golden Rule means voluntaryism. We must strive for
all human interaction to be voluntary (consensual) and so without the
initiation of force: nonaggression against non-aggressors. Have that as the
core principle of society, instill it in everyone from birth to death, and relative
peace is possible. Short of that is just different variations of constant war. Aggression
leads to defense, which leads to conflict. The conflict only ends if the
aggressor is tamed/defeated. If the aggressor wins, the Golden Rule loses. At the
start of conflict the aggressor is clear, but in a society made of circular
layers of aggression, all are aggressors. Society organized around the state (government)
is circular aggression. For instance, taxation, public spending, public debt, central banking and general wealth redistribution is all just a fancy form of mob looting. Stealing is a clear violation of the Golden Rule. If you accept stealing, you are inherently suicidal. That is because acceptance of stealing means it is okay for someone to steal your life, even if by simply stealing your food or oxygen.
Statism is the belief that the political
authority of the state (government) is legitimate and necessary. Political
authority is an attempt at a monopoly on the initiation of force in society,
not an attempt at the absence of initiated force in society. In that sense, statism
is a prison made by making exceptions to the Golden Rule. Statism is a
societally conditioned ruse where people accept the prison of force as a given
and just fight over who controls the force and who is subject to the force. Truly smart people leave the prison the best they can; at the very least they
leave mentally since physically it is usually technically impossible (statist
gangs control all inhabitable land on earth).
I sympathize only with voluntayists. The
statists are welcome to fight each other to the death, whether with bullets,
bricks, or ballots. There is no peace in statism anyway. Statism is just a
Frankenstein monster of force that when in a tame state is a coercive prison
guard. But from time to time the monster always turns deadly and becomes the
prison executioner. The monster isn’t just the
people wearing special uniforms; it is also the mobs of prisoners that accept
the prison (accept violations of the Golden Rule in society). In the big picture, everyone
who isn’t a voluntaryist is fighting a fight that, due to its self
contradiction (inherent violation of the Golden Rule), can never end. So, to
all the incessantly fighting statists from communist to republican to
progressive to plutocrat to democrat, I say, choose again and choose
voluntaryism. Because you'll never forgive statism versus statism if you remain in the mental prison of statism.
And to leave you with a joke. Realistically, since the Golden Rule is the only system that can work due to not being self contradicting, all I have to say to those who refuse voluntaryism is:
