What's the most effective way to kill statism?

More bullshit. Authoritarians that are out of power will use you people to bring down the existing government with the sole purpose of building their shit control authoritarian reign of terror upon the people who are left in the rubble that you create. You are tools of those authoritarians, dictators, rulers the likes of which you have only read about. Anarachists are just fucking tools.

Yes, itā€™s semantics, but itā€™s important to focus the argument and understand the history.
The things Iā€™m stating are my opinion of primary source documents available on-line to anyone willing to take the time to read them.
Most of the responses I get are talking points people get from radio talk show hosts or MSM.
Most people donā€™t take the timeā€¦ or are uninterestedā€¦ in learning.

I doubt it will. As a litmus test, imagine if JFK were running for President today.

Mine as well. I doubt weā€™ll end up in any heated arguments either way.

No litmus test needed. Just Rate of Change. Weā€™ve already outlasted every other constitution.

Nailed itā€¦

:rofl:

Eliminate government, sure. Then you are going to have a whole heck of a lot of people clinging to whomever will guide them to their food, shelter and clothing.

You do realize there are many who are followers, not leaders? Couldnā€™t find their way out of a paper bag even with directions?

So you create a vacuum which will be filled by those who lead and those who follow.

That is as delusional as believing in world peace and that we can ā€œall get alongā€.
Youā€™re just the opposite side of the kumbaya coin.

Without ā€œsomeā€ rules anarchy will turn to total chaosā€¦and thus inviting authoritarians to step in with people blessing.

I view Anarchist as tools for authoritarians.

And ā€œsome talking headsā€ had to learn what it means to be Constitutional Conservative from people like us. :wink:

What Anarchists are advocating is driving the people into the arms of goverment itself. :wink:

Or, driving themselves out of the arms of government and into the arms of whatever nutbag fills the void.

Iā€™m sure they did, we also saw the rise of Marxism and Socialism at the same time, coincidence? I donā€™t believe that. I believe the obvious, capitalism and Democracy are most vulnerable during periods of social and capital dislocationtions that technological progress can bring.

Youā€™ve got to be kidding! If this is all you understand about the Constitution, you should go back to school.

Our present day Constitution includes the original text and 27 Amendmentsā€¦ALL of which are now part of the Constitution. If need be, we can amend it again to either add a new amendment or to modify or repeal a preceding amendment.

What you offer with anarchy is no laws, no government and no recourse to being attacked by your demented neighbor.

Though I doubt you will read it, I suggest you read The Original Constitutionā€“What It Actually Said and Meant by Robert G. Natelson.

Regardless of how you learn what it said of meant, you will not be taken seriously by those who have already done so.

FUCK ANARCHY!

To answer the OP. Best way to stop statism is to educate the people what it means to live under Constitutional Republic.

Sadly they arenā€™t getting that in our schools today.

Against a Bernie Sanders? Which do you suppose most would take? The path of least resistance?

It really goes back to parenting, Conan.

Again I say, you expose your ignorance of the Constitution all too often here.

Read Article I, Section 8 for 18 of the enumerated powers of the US Government. Read Amendment X for authorization of powers of the states.

Article 1, Section 8 states nothing about enumerated powers.
The Constitution is written in a vague wayā€¦ purposefullyā€¦ by lawyers, bankers and businessmenā€¦not common people.
The ā€œnecessary and properā€ clause, the ā€œsupremacyā€ clause and the ā€œcommerceā€ clause are examples of how the Constitution was written to allow the US general government unlimited authority.

Anarchy doesnā€™t mean without rulesā€¦ it means without rulers.
Libertarians are the only political group that has ethicsā€¦ the NAPā€¦ Non-Aggression Principle.
Being that the state assumes authority through aggression, it is illegitimate from an ethical standpoint.

Iā€™ve likely read more about the US Constitution and other founding documents then you ever will.
Iā€™ve also read about what government is.
Could you define that? I can.
Anarchy is the natural state of human beings.
