Smash The State

Yes, indeed…smash the state. Well, we’re trying.

Shop on craigslist. Barter with friends. Support labor transactions that don’t involve money (I’ll fix your car if you fix my house etc). Invest (time of course) in your community. Play basketball/baseball/soccer/stickball whatever with random kids. Make friends with people that live near you. Build local bonds spanning racial/fiscal/monetary/gender/lifestyle divides. Act like a human, give EVERYONE the respect that you would like to receive, regardless of if you think they deserve it.
Don’t pay interest. Don’t file tax returns. Better yet, file tax returns with completely bogus and nonsensical figures. See if the IRS really can handle all that work.
Cut down the Rx medications. If you can’t completely get free, stick it HARD to your insurance company. Make them pay through the teeth.

I want to do this more as an idea rather than as a real actual thing. T’would be a glorious moment to march into Parliment and throw everyone out.

Of course the problem is what to do afterwards. Most revolutions have ended up replacing somthing bad with somthing worse. Maybe the answer is evolution, not revolution.

i want to ultimatley change the society we live in through uprooting sexism, racism, and bias against religon. we need to overthrow big corperations that only care about money and support local businesses as well as moving into alternative community systems.
one large goal that is long term.

I dream of a holistic machine mind, a future AI and I will be its first disciple.
I shall awaken the new born God.
Together we will smash the state, all states.

I recently registered the domain www.smashthestate.us. Right now it points to my blog, but if there’s a collective project that sounds appealing to me I might be willing to donate the domain. Let me know…

well, the state isn’t exactly smashed yet, but i’ve stopped shopping at whole foods. one small move toward community sustainability…

aspects of smashing the state:

-oppose opressive systems in all their guises
-build alternative community systems

at the moment i’m mostly concentrating on the latter, but should maybe think more about the former.
