Could you live free of politics?
Could you manage without someone setting up some kind of law for you?
We elect unknown officials to give them power over situations that we feel we can't understand or deal with. We give individual politicians the opportunity to have an excuse for us being braindead and when they mess up we crucify them and they, in turn, turn it around and say, "Well you voted for me."
I personally have never voted. Boring! I'd rather watch reruns of MASH.
We don't have a system of voting on the Pueblo. It doesn't matter. Nothing and everything gets done and somehow it works. We're a prime example of chaos theory running a tribe - a good-godly example of showing the world that anyone can run a government.
We do (to some extent) have a voting system, however, it's not to elect officials or to vote on a simple ordinance. Rather, it's tribal (although at its core it's a hand-me-down mash-up borrowed from the Spanish, the Church, the United States and so on and so forth.) It was our way of keeping up a faithful practice to that particular oppression.
Interesting.
In the old times any form of discrepancy or strife were basically dealt with in the moment. Anything without love at its core was immediately confronted (either vocally or spiritually.) If a community hunt needed to be done for people to have food that was dealt with as a community or from a societal standpoint. There are still shadowy versions of that in the Kivas, however, it's just that - a shadowy version.
I've noticed that anything that takes on the form of governance has failed for the people because:
For example, we don't protect people, we take away their guns. We attack others so they attack us. We send children to battle promising them a future. Ugh... and then we never care for them. We create bigger bombs to bomb others so they can bomb us. Enemies don't just exist, they are created by governmental institutions to make for sale: guns, bombs, experimental medicine and people.
Politics equals fame as big as any rock star and comes with all the perks. You get to smile while holding babies and grabbing ass because, like some demi-god, you have the permission to do as you please because you were elected by the people and for the people and they're paying you as you hide behind congratulatory signs of "Just say no" campaigns and "the war on drugs."
Tolstoy (the pacifist) author of War And Peace:
"... even if the absence of government meant anarchy in the negative disorderly sense of the word, which is far from the case - even then no anarchical disorder could be worse than the position to which governments have already led their peoples, and to which they are leading them..."
I'm not saying we should create a revolution because even history will tell you a revolution needs bylaws and those bylaws work against the other aspects of what is creating oppression, so in turn you create another form of government (DUH)!
We need to emphasize independent local thought.
When's the last time you read a newspaper from Africa or Iran and truly did something about what you read? Probably never, right? You just read something so you can brag to the cute receptionist at the local watering hole, bragging loudly that you know something about something - although it doesn't mean anything and you know it. That's the confidence that government gives you - a false sense of nobility.
Sooner or later people are going to find out that none of us are in charge and neither is government, the church, schools, police or anybody else for that matter.
WE: ME AND YOU, ARE NOT IN CONTROL!
Anarchy? Maybe...
It does create independent thinkers from the privacy of pajamas and dirty panties. Anarchy doesn't necessarily mean Cid Vicious and punk rock. It also doesn't necessarily mean you don't deal with consequences. It certainly doesn't mean no liberty. Anarchy has gotten a poor rap.
I'm sure you're thinking of crazy dumb shits riding four wheelers and raising hell, but even dumb shits gotta eat and stay warm and one day have kids (possible dumb shits too.) Republicans, Democrats, Anarchists - nobody needs an electoral vote to tell you you're a dumb shit - everyone in the community already knows that. Dumb shit is as dumb shit does.
ANARCHY then?
Communal home lives are paid attention to. Maybe you even pay less taxes, maybe everything is a dollar, maybe EVERYTHING IS A DOLLAR! That would be cool. Then the poor would be rich and the rich would still be rich, but in a different way. Money wouldn't mean anything which would eventually get rid of the hierarchical and centralized thinking. Anything is possible when we act and think for ourselves and not become slaves to work and slaves to shopping. In the end forming societies that took responsibility for their own family, community and culture wouldn't have time to kill anyone else.
"Anarchist's cant make bomb's... government makes bombs!" <Spoken like a true "punk.">

Clean your soul.
Clean your body.
Clean your heart.
You and I are free. Stop voting and giving away your independence to someone you have never meet.
I love you.
Your faithful muse,

Well that'll be great if only it happen
This blog post make me really think and in some point smile. We don't need "politicians",we need people who really understand the real life of men,womens,children..I like the sentence "my freedom ends when the freedom of another starts".We need some rules (total anarchy is never good) because "homo homini lupus" and sadly is true.We need good and positive people,true people. True guidances to feed souls.But.. as you say: "Expectations are too high, too broad and they do too much, so things - from the beginning in their essence - fail miserably.". Be a real good person should be enough,and if the expectations of politicians are to change the mind of good people.. no, wasting their time. Thank you! Nice, nice post.
the way this world is not a good way. I agree with you. People decorate houses all clothes, etc. but not their souls to the world should not be focused only on the outside of the human inside because what is at the heart of give you the world.one man's greed can lead to starvation (hunger)of thousands of people.if the world is not only focused attention on science but pure heart of every man the world would be a better ...
but these kind of people is not so many, and they are as people remembered the legend, because they are able to sacrifice everything for others ... when someone says about the evils prevailing in the world always answer the same way "people to people made(inflicted) this fate"zofia Naukowska.

it depends on us how this suite uczynimi ... if only we will it beautify the outside and our hearts...
"The expansion of Western society has been filled with abandoned fragments of nuclear families, and the children created and molded to fill the needs of the state. Corporations, churches and the government—the patriarchy—purport to be the extended family, but they meet their obligations toward “their people” only when it is convenient for them to do so; frequently evading responsibility for the pain, economic distress and dislocation which they have created by blaming the victims of their own policies." Wub-e-ke-niew, Ojibwe
It's too funny sometimes. I read a blog post by a guy who went through the process of explaining the thought life of politics. To say the least..I was astonished to see that my political thought life is that of an anarchist. And here you are writing about that as a choice.
hahahhahaha..a choice I've made, encouraged by others..It's nice to have affirmation.
in nature we are libertarians (and if we feel brave "anarchists" - but beware you may regret it, if too wild): for there we are govern'd by the laws of nature.
in rural groups we are "in between" and govern'd by nature and "man" (hopefully good and understanding, but not always).
in a country, we need the strength of all; but all too often the "people" abdicate. giving rein to the rich and powerful. and the people get screwed!
so i hide in my own landscape and take scraps from others to survive. i try to be "good", i love nature and respect her laws. i try to let her guide me (unfortunately i sometimes wander) and give me connection to etherity.
