]]> Comment on Universal Health Care without the State by Jeff Engert http://theconverted.wordpress.com/2007/03/07/universal-health-care-without-the-state/#comment-766 Jeff Engert Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:36:49 +0000 http://theconverted.wordpress.com/2007/03/07/universal-health-care-without-the-state/#comment-766 Great post. I've only recently come out into anarchism, so in many areas I'm still feeling my way around in the dark. Healthcare is definitely one of the big issues being a literal matter of life and death, and its definitely worth discussing alternatives to State monopoly and Corporate oligopoly. Great post.

But I'm not a HUGE fan. While I can say I agree with most of what Alex says, I can't put my faith into anyone 100% anymore. My biggest problem with AJ are the ridiculous fear based commercials that are bombarded every other minute, they are mind numbing, he needs better ad salespeople to say the least and maybe take a lesson from Howard Stern and bunch them up at the end o f the hour as not to torture the audience so much. I fact check and look into what he says once in awhile and overall he has a decent record, but he definitely puts his own spin on things and at times outright distorts the truth. But I will say one thing. He was the one that opening my eyes to quite a few things and for that I thank and tolerate the imperfections.

Which is only applicable if we were to accept that voluntarism is the only justfication for coercion. I know some propertarians who would object to that. Not to mention some natural rights theorists, utilitarians, and every other system of thought outside voluntaryism. “No one that I know agreed voluntarily to obey the diktats of any state, they are forced to by the threat of violence.”

Pity you can’t grant that same right to me or others and feel the state should be allowed to invade someone’s body." Except buying up natural resources and then charging for them does harm me. Forcing me to prostitute myself to a business in order to even eat does harm me. Fencing off property arbitrarily according to some esoteric philosophy does harm me. You shooting your neighbor for harming your child does harm me. You smoking in a restaurant does harm me. Polluting does harm me. Overfishing does harm me. Speeding does harm me. We are not discrete olympian gods who only meet to agree to exchange things on equal footing. We are inherently social creatures inseperably intertwined in prexisting conditions of privileged and exploitation. Your market anarchism is just coercion of different variety. Also: Ten year olds are not psychologically or morally capable of making informed rational decisions. There may be some ten year olds that can but 16-18 is the best median value which to separate adults from children legally. “But you are free to live as you will, so long as it doesn’t harm me.

I am a scientific attitude type of person and I strongly disagree with the views of this article bashing Jones without any evidence. Can you say specificly what Jones has claimed that really didnt happen. Mr Jones is a hardworking truthsearcher. Listen to his show, research the evidence behind his claims and you will see, that the masses arent always right and that corporate media lies and lies and lies and brainwash and brainwash and brainwash. It is not scientific that the masses knows what is going on. A very small percentage of populations are informed...those who are informed will be suprised how much conspiracies actually are goin on against populations by their governments.

I'd agree that Jones is pretty crazy. I think he really became more and more sucked into his conspiracies once he had a viewer base that he couldn't afford to back down from. I'm not concerned with his fight against the NWO since it is simply not provable, while government oppression and corporatism is. However, as far as 9/11 goes I've gotten to several points of realization in it's corruption. After watching many documentaries on the subject with various flaws in them I finally ran into 9/11 Blueprint for Truth. Yeah they all have cheesy names, but this one is different in that it is a lecture presented by a reputable architect. With it coming from an angle other than Popular Mechanics defending the initial story from Loose Change, it brings out simple laws of structural engineering that would have to be broken to prove the original theory. After watching it, it'd be hard to convince me that the buildings were not brought down by controlled demolition. As far as the government being responsible? Who knows.
