Reader Submission :: Government: Personal Statement

My personal response to the prompt: “Write a personal statement expressing your feelings toward the U.S. Government.”
 What are my feelings on the U.S. Government? In my personal opinion it is simply unnecessary. The government isn’t necessary, so why have it at all? Why restrict freedoms with laws, and pay for a system to be put in place, when it preforms no vital  function in society?
I believe that a society can be fully functional with anarchy as a system of order. I have seen anarchy work in person. Anarchy would not only work, but flourish, if human beings would simply cooperate in peace and mutual respect instead of trying to establish control and superiority over one another.
Throughout human history, the longest lasting period of government style was, in fact, no government whatsoever. Even today countless communes, tribes, and organisations function without any sort of formal leader. All anarchy is is a different way of organizing things, one with more freedom for the individual.

Fear: Activist Writers Collective

We the people have been trained to fear. Fear the future, fear the past, fear the present. We have been conditioned to fear those in authority, with mindless conspiracy theories arising to reinforce this fear. We have been pushed towards an abyss of endless fears: fear of poverty, fear of the oppressors, fear of loneliness, fear of not belonging.
I for one, fear no man. I fear no rich man, no violent institution, no corrupt corporation. I fear no police officer, I fear no oppressive system. I fear no mindless teacher, no system-worshipping professor. I fear no petty bourgeois politician.
I am ready for the struggle, I am aware of the consequences, of the meanings that are replete in the act of standing up against the system. No man is higher than me, no billionaire is worth anything more than me, no ‘successful’ person is more human than me.
I will not allow society to define me, I will not allow racism to objectify me. I will not allow the business as usual model to scare me. I am not afraid of unemployment, I am not afraid of poverty, I am not afraid of police brutality.
We the people should not fear, but as one should stand!
