rules are attempts to write down good ideas. nobody notices until it's not a good idea anymore. nobody will ever stop trying to act on good ideas. On Fri, Jun 5, 2020, 4:57 PM \0xDynamite <dreamingforward@gmail.com> wrote:
"the Reformation meant not the elimination of the Church’s control over everyday life, but rather the substitution of a new form of control for the previous one. It meant the repudiation of a control which was very lax, at that time scarcely perceptible in practice, and hardly more than formal, in favor of a regulation, of the whole of conduct which, penetrating to all departments of private and public life, was infinitely burdensome and earnestly enforced. The rule of the Catholic Church, “punishing the heretic, but indulgent to the sinner,” as it was in the past even more than today, is now tolerated by peoples of thoroughly modern economic character, and was borne by the richest and economically most advanced peoples on earth at about the turn of the fifteenth century. The rule of Calvinism, on the other hand, as it was enforced in the sixteenth century in Geneva and in Scotland, at the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in large parts of the Netherlands, in the seventeenth in New England, and for a time in England itself, would be for us the most absolutely unbearable form of ecclesiastical control of the individual which could possibly exist."
And therefore, by the elimination of the State itself, we will create a new system of freedom away from the State and ABOLISH ALL RULES -- even the ones that YOU make for your family or community.
There shall be no rule. Because rules imply rulers. Period.
