Shutting down businesses on Independence Day weekend may be the most symbolic act of a government without limits.
Museums are opening today, some businesses. Might July 1 be a new day to celebrate? A day where community organizations and entrepreneurs lead the way to a more free existence?
The enforcement arm of government is constrained by lockdown policies and a public relations landslide. Is this the time for free people to be free? Will we refuse to tolerate the suffering of those who improve our community by providing desired services and products?
Anarchy isn’t what you see on your TV. Corporate media gave up on truth telling a long time ago. If it ever was their mission, I wasn’t alive to see it. Anarchy is what we do everyday, choosing how to spend our time and resources without a governing body directing us. Anarchy is freedom. Will that be Utopia? Certainly not, humans are fallen and will continue to screw up in new and imaginative ways every day. The market will get things wrong, individuals will get things wrong. Individuals are motorcycles in an action movie, we can turn on a dime and course correct. The market is chasing those motorcycles. The relationship always has an element of adversary, but the market follows.
We go out today as free individuals who do not believe in the monopoly of violence held by the government.
Happy Anarchy Day,
Jason
