04/25/12(Wed)20:14 No.2810615That's a very interesting list of all the retarded political philosophies that won't work anywhere but fantasy land.
The question is: which is the most retarded and unrealistic?
Also, have a quote:
"Hereby
it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to
keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war;
and such a war as is of every man against every man. For war consisteth
not in battle only, or the act of fighting, but in a tract of time,
wherein the will to contend by battle is sufficiently known: and
therefore the notion of time is to be considered in the nature of war,
as it is in the nature of weather. For as the nature of foul weather
lieth not in a shower or two of rain, but in an inclination thereto of
many days together: so the nature of war consisteth not in actual
fighting, but in the known disposition thereto during all the time there
is no assurance to the contrary. All other time is peace.
Whatsoever
therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to
every man, the same consequent to the time wherein men live without
other security than what their own strength and their own invention
shall furnish them withal. In such condition there is no place for
industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no
culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may
be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving
and removing such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face
of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and
which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and
the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." |
