    If anything, you get things done more effectively if rules are clear and straightforward.

    One could make a lot of exceptions to rulings. Like literacy tests being made more difficult for black people.

    Or…

    One could make that stuff more accessible to everyone, by educating everyone equally and well, free from both homeschooled illiteracy and from fear-filled rampages.

    Capitalism is the enemy of all who seek to seize liberty. Only through full anarchocommunism can all be freed.

      “Capitalism is the enemy of all who seek to seize liberty. Only through full anarchocommunism can all be freed.”

      Agreed. My concern is always how to get from where we are now to where we want to be.

      One of the problems that I tangentially referred to, but didn’t get into because of space constraints is the way capitalism is colonizing governance. Any large project or disagreement brings in highly-paid consultants like ants to a picnic. And for them, there is every inducement to stretch-out the process as long as possible because they get paid by the hour. I wonder how long things would stretch if all consulting contracts were by the job instead of by the hour?

        What I personally think would be a nice way is to set up thrift shops, have communally owned farms and woods. They’d work together and give each other priority in giving goods.
