  7. Lu Fo I’m pretty sure I as an Anarchist understand freedom and liberty a little more than you, possibly. A nation that allows centralization of Federal government, continues to support two corrupt political parties, let’s corporations take over legislation, and continue to smear everything outside the capitalist status quo is an uneducated mass. Now I cannot say everyone in America is irrational, but it’s institutions and social structures makes it a nation lacking liberty and critical thought You’re forgetting a crucial role of civilians in the ideal of Republicanism is CIVIL DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY! The civilians must remain vigilant of government and the State. And instead of taking DIRECT ACTION and civil disobedience the American populace (as in most liberal democracies) rely on electoral politics and legislation. These shams of representative governments are tools of the neoliberal world order, the ruling wealthy elites. But there lies rule 1 of Anarchism/Libertarian Socialism... education of the masses. It also made me sick to watch the elite Democratic news network smear these working class people for protesting. I think they are acting stupidly to appease Republican leadership, Fox News started this trend of downplaying the virus. I can accurately point that those that have not realized the establishment is playing them are uneducated folk. That however doesn’t mean their situation isn’t understood. Get off your erudite hill. The fact that you think people that elect their representatives are completely free of their government’s actions shows lack of genuine criticism. That’s like saying the American people were not responsible for government upholding slavery as an institution for 400 years, or that the public couldn’t do much about government segregating citizens. I thought we were in a Social Contract and that government comes from consent of the governed. I admit my rhetoric is harsh, perhaps too much and you accurately point out I can’t generalize a population. But my point stands that liberty is a responsibility, and these actions are not.
