    I think my point above, to use the Scots, is that I know there are true Scots. So it makes me mad when I find false Scots that can only talk about needing to tear stuff down. Often they mean to use violence. In my life I have been cursed to see the violence that occurs in a vacuum of power. I’m also acutely aware that power can be of the people or over the people. I saw both occur naturally. A time when people came together to aid each other and disburse food and heating propane logically and a time when the next town over decided it was going to expand, no matter what their neighbors thought about it.

    So I do really want an alternative to capitalist and authoritarian systems figured out at scale.
