For the individual wanting to break free of the unending sea of collectives and institutions contending for his soul...and more...put together by a Visionary Philosopher, so I've been told. Maybe you want to stay tuned to see if that's true... with notes on The End of the Nation State.
Yet for most of my life, I believed that social
order depended on government. That is, I believed
that freedom depended on force, and ultimately
that a great good depended on a great evil. I’m

accept armed men in uniforms as their benefactors.
I also believed that lie.
