Each and every person who advocates “government” in any form – whether liberal, conservative, moderate, independent, communist, fascist, constitutionalist, or any other flavour – believes that:

Representatives of “authority” should, on a large scale, commit acts which, if done by anyone else, would be widely recognized as unjust and immoral.

All statists** believe that the people who make up “government” have an exemption from basic human morality, and not only may do things which others have no right to do, but should and must do such things, for the (supposed) good of society.

** Believe that a government or state has control or has authority over, an individual.

The type and degree of aggression varies, but all ‘statists’, advocate aggression.

In statist mythology, the political “left wing” and the political “right wing” are opposites.

In reality, they are two sides of the same coin, The difference lies only in what the different voters hope those in power will do with that power.

But in practice, “left” and “right” politicians all engage in wealth redistribution, war-mongering, centralized control of commerce, and numerous coercive restrictions upon the behaviour of their subjects.

As “right-wing” and “left-wing” stales approach complete power, they become utterly indistinguishable from each other.

Hitler’s supposedly “far right” regime and Stalin’s supposedly “far left” regime were virtually identical.

Whatever the original stated purpose of either, the end result was complete power and control for the politicians, and complete helplessness and enslavement of everyone else.

Being allowed to choose between the political “left” and the political “right” provides the people with exactly as much power and freedom as,

Allowing them to choose between death by hanging and death by firing squad.

Adding an independent third party only adds the option, of death by electrocution.

As long as the people bicker only about which gang should enslave everyone (also known as “democracy”), the people will remain enslaved.
