RE: Hey, minnowboosters!
Yep, rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.
Glad to know you are not afraid of ideas not spoonfed to you by a nanny state.
Theanarchistlibrary.org has more reading than we can ever do in one lifetime.
This is a good one, short, too.

Id like to visit viet nam and talk to the old people.
Im betting very few remember Ho preaching from the books i spread, too.
We get our info from many of the same sources from the early 20th century.
I was in Vietnam for 5 years & people talked about Ho Chi Minh and Vietnamese in Saigon say they don't like Ho Chi Minh, socialism, and they are forced to pay more money when they shop in Hanoi than other local Vietnamese in Hanoi. Many times, Vietnamese have told me that the north and the south Vietnamese are still divided against each other. I was in Hanoi and didn't like it. I felt better in Saigon. I like Russia. I see revolutions happening in Russia now.
Yeah, its the application of the ideas that trips them up.
Communism is a better system, but you cant force it on folks.
They have to choose it because it benefits them better.
Nestor Mahkno is my hero, but he only fought russians, he defended the ukraine from them before the 'revolution'.
I do not like communism because it does not reward me to work harder and harder like capitalism does. If we all get the same in communism, then why work, compete, try?
Itt a matter of switching money for esteem.
If money is the sole evaluator of success then crapitalism is the game, but if the girls are taught to seek productive guys because money no longer enslaves the havenots to the haves, then productive guys will have reasons to contribute.
Also, as long as the current distribution of money exists you dont stand a chance at standing out, but with everybody on a level playing field, you could invent something that makes you a household name and folks with money couldnt steal your idea as easily.
We live in a world of money. Hypothetically, living without it would be great but we do not live in a world like that. We can try to volunteer and do things without money but to what end?
Without money as a goal, leisure would be the aim.
Leisure is not already the goal?
For some of us it is.
