RE: Crystal meth or SHABU as it's known in the Philippines...in "pursuit of happiness".
I ask myself the same thing about those who commit heinous crimes of aggression while on alcohol. In any case, such acts are worthy of indignation and they should be dealt with accordingly.
Interestingly, I think justice could be meted out quite well in an anarchistic, free-market society, without government as we know it and without taxation. As is today the case, civil government is itself an unjustified aggressor, and it's especially true in the war on drugs.
The Philippines isnt as bad to resort to anarchism as yet.Nor have the resources to replace taxation,and maturity or mentality to progress without the government.
By "anarchism," I simply refer to the organization of society on a voluntary basis. More precisely, I advocate for what has been called anarcho-capitalism over and against any form of statism. It would do away with the BIR, the BI (which extorts money from me every two months for being here), and other governmental organizations which can legitimately be regarded as gangs in their own right. It would also do away with marriage licensing, business licensing, and all types of licensing.
Self-government is practiced daily in households all around my barangay, so I have trouble believing that people aren't mature enough to live without what can collectively be called the state. If you're interested, some good, libertarian resources can be found in the works of Murray Rothbard and, if you listen to podcasts, The Tom Woods Show.
in response to your last reply as i cant do it in my previous post..unwarranted aggression is precisely what the govt is aiming for with President Duterte's war on drugsJust maybe in the future people will realise how their actions under its' influence can make them act stupid and can victimised other people.check the daily news ,all we can hear are rape&murders,even lil kids are raped.Did you see the news of a 2nd grader that was raped by 4 addicts,murdered and thrown in the river? This is today I think.
Maybe in the future there wont be no need of guns by private individual because it is safe in the neighbourhood, just maybe
Unwarranted aggression is what the government is guilty of in the war on drugs and other matters. If I am caught with an illegal psychoactive substance or with a gun in the Philippines, I am kidnapped (i.e., arrested) and caged by this gang called government, even if I haven't done anything wrong. That is unwarrated aggression against me.
And it's not only non-violent drug users/dealers who are aggressed against by government; it's also people who aren't involved with drugs, but are framed. Case in point, Damien Berg: http://themaharlikan.info/world/australian-man-ill-never-go-back-to-the-philippines/
Anyway, as I've said before, murder and rape need to be dealt with on their own accord. The fact that some users of illegal drugs murder and rape people doesn't justify drug prohibition or the criminalization of all drug users. Since some alcoholics murder, rape, and assault people, should you be criminalized for possessing or consuming alcohol, even if you haven't done anything wrong?
