    Way too long but well worth watching the first 10 minutes to understand our Karen provoked police state. Look how calm this guy remains when dealing with tyrants.

    Latchkey kids or feral children? What we call helicopter parents don't really spend that much time with their kids. School, sports, music lessons. Before the lockdowns, kids lives were nonstop busy. Do people go on vacation anymore? Better yet, do families sit down at the dinner table?

    Phan scolded me for lack of parental supervision. I bet she worked most of her life and didn't get home for 3 hours after school let out. Who's raising our kids?

    This is a direct result of capitalism.

    Do you consider yourself a "Marxist Anarchist"?

    Do you know what an Anarchist is? Our founding fathers were about as close to being Anarchists as you can get.

    I do, and you do not. An anarchist is one who wants no government structure, e.g. no republic

    Sigh. Don't you think it's about time you abandon the dogma imposed on you by the people you allow to do your thinking for you?

    The founding fathers worked tirelessly to bring us a republic. They were DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED to anarchy.

    So is the answer that yes, you ARE a Marxist Anarchist?

    Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that is skeptical of all justifications for authority and seeks to abolish the institutions it claims maintain unnecessary coercion and hierarchy, typically including, though not necessarily limited to, governments, nation states, and capitalism.

    Read the Declaration of Independence and the Federalist Papers.

    Anarchism is opposition to any government. Stop trying to pretend it's somehow so much more.

    What does government of the people, by the people, for the people mean to you?

    By the way, there are MANY such videos.

    I've watched them all, from beginning to end. They totally resonate with me.

    The only ones being represented are the oligarchs.
