yet more of the stateless order we saw during uprisings in egypt. i banged on about it in blog comments back then too.

egyptians organised neighbourhood security, refuse collection, an international media centre, a field hospital in Tahrir square. all on a completely voluntary basis.

now, during a revolution this voluntarism is unpaid but a commercial transaction is just as much a voluntary exchange as a charitable donation is. the key is the absence of coercion.

lets hope someone somewhere realises that they dont have to rebuild a state just to get bin lorries.

Indoctrinated acceptance of state monopolies

Evidence of statist indoctrination in education

Why are all the 'jobs' we learn about at primary school in the public sector? Police, fire, nurse, soldier, teacher?
If not the conspiracy of indoctrination perhaps this is evidence that the state has siezed all essential services. Kids will learn about easily recogniseable fundamental and essential jobs with a clear purpose. For these same reasons these jobs are socially important. For that reason the state has seized them to concentrate power and increase control.
