There is no confusion. There's all kinds of factions within each party. You have in Libertarian the people that just want drugs,the Jefferson classical liberals, etc. Republicans you have conservatives, chamber of commerce , military hawks, teddy roosevelt types,, erc

The people burning and stealing and defacing may indeed have Marxists ideologies whether they ever heard of Karl Marx or not.

The people in the background, pulling the strings, want total control of all wealth and property. They have no interest in Karl Marx other than using his ideas to get others to do their bidding. When they say they are Marxists they are lying to get followers.

I agree. But isn't that how it's always worked in Communist countries?

How can one persons ideology, that has been proven to fail in all trials, still get a foot hold so many years later. One more crusade is all we need.

I'm curious WiscoNate, what precipitated you to land on anarchist as your philosophy? Is it the tradition of the slogan, "No god. No master?" Or you just "wish" there wasn't any hierarchy in state or religious affairs of any kind?

Marx was a governing board member in his region for the Anarchy Council in the 1860's as I recall. People throughout history have ALWAYS cried out for a ruler, mainly to protect them from the next bunch over the hill, not so much because folks like to be ruled.

Curious as to how you landed on your philosophy?

Blessings,
Mark

I find most of us hold pretty firm views on societal philosophy, so it's difficult to discuss. Logical fact checkers over here, and emotional moral warriors over there, and so on. One thing is sure. The push to have our next generation of workers trained, like no generation before, almost universally in the university setting, has changed the culture of debate. I don't think they teach critical thinking anymore?

But, we live in the best time by any major measure, in human history.
Thank you Lord.
We pray it continues.

You want the official list of former police officers in currently in jail or the list of dead ones that weren’t paranoid enough?

The police aren’t called for cake and ice cream at birthday parties. They are called when there is a conflict. To train them to not be suspicious will put a lot more in body bags. Defunding won’t be an issue then because there won’t be anybody that will want to be one.

Don’t think so? How many women have been killed because they allowed themselves to be in a bad situation because they were taught to be suspicious is makes you a bad person.

Unfortunately a few Republicans/Democrats see the monetary benefit of becoming a government for the government by way of the people!

I think you may want to read my original post that said cops need to be held responsible if they break the law like the rest of the citizens. And I stand by that. And as far as the cops having such a dangerous job, maybe you need to look up the numbers. Cops are not even in the top 10. As for defunding, read my original post.

Pretty simple, Mark. I've watched a constitutional republic crumbling my entire life. It doesn't work. I don't believe there is a better government system out there than a constitutional republic, and since it's a failure I find government might as well not exist at all. I don't believe that any form of government would work under the immoral population of the U.S. today.

I do have a master, but no man is my master. We are all born with the free will to embrace that or not, and accept the consequences of our decisions.

I don't know what an Anarchy Council is, but is sounds oxymoronic. Might it perhaps have been some Orwellian type DoubleSpeak? People who want to bring down the system to create their own are not anarchists. I suspect that would be why Marx would be involved in such things.

You're right about people always wanting a ruler. People like authority in human form. Someone to tell them what to do is all well and good until things go too far south. Even when things are terrible people have a tendency to cling to the shreds of the structure they're a slave to. Israel wanted a king, even though they already had one. Kings in human form only help for a short period of time at best, and are quite often tyrants.

I am trying not to keep my feet in two worlds, and this one isn't all that important to me.

Hope that helps.

WiscoNate,
Well stated. True, Israel did in fact get their first king of their united Monarchy in Saul, when God instructed Samuel to get on in there and anoint him... for the people grumble. The people's choice award! Never works it seems. So I follow your apologetic.

But here we are in 2020 trying to honor as best we can the instructs that the Son of God gave to his disciples, prayerfully doing our best, with what we have, where we are, with what we've got... as you say, with two feet in two different worlds. But I encourage to not forsake the widows, and orphans, and lesser among us, because hard hearts are not honoring to the One who gave all so that we may have two worlds as a wondrous option.
I know you know that full well. Just being Barnabas with a bit of "encouragement" brother!
Until the trumpets sound.

Thanks for the post!
Blessings,

Mark,

Just wanted to say that government is about the last place I would take a widow or orphan to help them! I believe Reagan said that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

My heart isn't as hard as you may think, I just believe that government has a tendency to create problems rather than provide solutions. Even their programs to help the needy (I use that term loosely) tend to promote dependency on government, rather than personal responsibility and self-reliance. The problem with government is that it always wants to grow. If people aren't paying attention or are apathetic it gets too big to contain. That's where we are today, and I believe in the near future there will be a global reset.

But that doesn't mean I'm bummed. I enjoy life. I spend a lot of time outdoors. I have a great family. My job is tolerable. From the standpoint of being comfortable and having access to knowledge, my life is better than any king's 200+ years ago. There is much to celebrate, especially when one gets away from the artificial world. So I find myself withdrawing from it. I quit watch sports years ago, and am really glad I did. I pay attention to current events to a lesser degree than I ever have in my adult life, and I'm liking that as well. I'm not ignorant to the political circus, yet I'm not invested in it. Other than pointing out hypocrisy, and sometimes debating philosophical issues.

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Thanks for the great conversation, and for seeking understanding rather than immediately condemning my position.

The way our system is set up widows dont get much help and orphans get tossed into the foster care system if they have no family to take them in.

Protect your wife with some life insurance.

Protect your kids by finding them godparents before a tragedy strikes.

Our welfare system is designed to reward irresponsible behavior.

Ending welfare will not stop people from voluntarily giving aid to widows and orphans.
