I think you are absolutely correct. They also have no business making railroads, roads or airports but they usurp those roles anyway, don’t they?

Voluntarism is one sort of system that would work well. It is market and voluntary action orientated, no centralization going for it. Just thinking, though, how to keep the gangs from forming and taking over?
reply
Education. The gangs already exist. They are the state and the many cartels / families that control the state.
Socialism as an idea should be dead but it isn't because of very poor opposition to the ideas at their core.
The problem you state is real and its the same thing. Education and it must start with parents.
reply
Not just education. Virtue. Education will just make the gangs more sophisticated in how they extort others.

That's very true. I rarely talk about this but the secularization of American culture is a huge factor with so many of our problems. Moral decay is real. I know it triggers people but the impact of Jesus on western civilization cannot be ignored. The more we move away from that the worse things will get.
I'm not suggesting a church state. I'm suggesting we need virtue and the virtues that Jesus lived and taught have led to the most amazing prosperity the world has ever seen. Many that wear the name of Jesus have done this a disservice. I'm not pointing the figure at anyone but the church. We need to do better.

Church-state has existed before almost everywhere. They are trying to impose it on the West again with Sharia Law. We need a kind of virtue that may not be connected to an organized religion.

I think this is how most major changes are made, from the bottom up. Those are the changes that actually stick.
That is the parent’s main job. With virtue, the kids can be invulnerable to the isht they will encounter in daily life. They need the other things to thrive in life.
reply
OK. But if the parents are feeding the children the same isht that the state feed them, then there is no escape from the merry go round. The parents have to teach them critical thinking and how to read and cipher. The kids can pretty much self-direct from there.
