The Myth of Authority
18th June 2016
By Tim Bryant

“People should not be afraid of their governments; governments should be afraid of their people.”
Contrary to what many people assume, most of the suffering, injustice and conflict in the world is not the result of greed, hatred or intolerance. Instead… Most of man’s inhumanity to man is the result of one particular belief; one irrational superstition which is shared by almost everyone, namely, the belief in authority.
History has taught us that trying to fix the world by way of government always ends in disaster. That in the end the political process empowers the ruling class and no one else. Constitutions don’t fix it. Elections don’t fix it.
Once there a position of power is created, it is always the megalomaniacs and sociopaths who will sooner or later, one way or another, get themselves into that position.
Decent people are tricked into believing that it is perfectly acceptable and righteous to control and rob their neighbors, as long as they do it by way of voting in the political process.
Tyrants love it when they can get the people to cheer for their neighbors to be robbed by way of taxation or cheer for their neighbors to be forcibly controlled by way of regulation and legislation.
