>I can run a country without spending any money and without collecting taxes. It's actually very easy.
>- Teach the people how to govern themselves.
>- encourage them to do it.
This is literally how anarcho-communists think the world would work. No, seriously, *literally*. "Teach them how to govern themselves" is achieved through the Communist Manifesto. Marx said that the final act of a socialist government would be to abolish itself and after that, true communism would be achieved.
>go get your friends and a lot of guns and ammo and ride down to Mexico and exterminate them.
Everybody will always leave everything to "somebody else" to solve. That's basically the core of most of our problems today.
Go to anywhere conservatives chatter and they will say shit like 'SOMEONE PRIMARY THIS POLITICIAN'. They never say '***I*** WILL PRIMARY THIS POLITICIAN'. This place isn't any different. Everyone here wants to bitch about the government, zero people here actually engaging anything productive to fix it. It's just a complaining game propped up by hopes that 'some day, somebody might do something'.
Not everything a communist says is wrong. The core argument of "letting people run themselves" isn't wrong. Their idea on how to get there is retarded and evil, though.
And yes, whining about every perceived injustice hoping some external force will remedy it is one of those things that makes communism evil.
RE anarchism -- the key is "govern themselves". You CAN have anarchy, but it requires people take responsibility for their own actions and their own property etc... A true "anarchist" society would have a whole lot of "archy". That's why "anarchy" is a ridiculous idea. The question isn't whether we should have someone governing us, the question is WHO should govern us, and my answer is "Take that for yourself, and let no one else have it!" It is, curiously, the same answer anyone else who has ever studied politics or history realizes.
