I find great resonance in this Fearless Arts Truth and Revolution Café; how fortunate that I stumbled upon it.

Given that Truth is the lonely way, I think I shall linger.

Thank you for your hospitality and perceptive, inviting artistry.

And Happy Birthday, Steve! Hope you enjoy enchanting days ahead.......

"The urgent need to remove the Anglo-American Ruling Classes."

If you mean the urgent need to remove ruling classes, in general and as a 'legitimate' concept, and to be replaced with nothing and no one, as I suspect you do, then hear, hear!

The question for those of us that agree with and are willing to face the "only way" assessment is how might that be done? Starving the beast would seem to be the only way to achieve the "only way".

I wonder what would happen if all the energy, time and money that people put into fighting public school policies, in court and at board meetings, was redirected? If all those parents just took their kids out, kept the taxes and lawsuit donations in their own pockets, spent the time and energy elsewhere? If just that one thing happened, I wonder what the ripples of that would be?

Has to be one of the most futile and wasteful fights I've ever seen (and no positive ruling or other outcome could ever be trusted, anyway - no parent can knows what goes on all day at a school). I think the (perpetual) "fighting the good fight" concept probably needs contemplation before anything else.

Happy Birthday and Feliz Navidad, Steve.

All good points and worth an in-depth discussion.

You are Libertarian if I remember right.

While I incorporate elements of Anarchism, Agorism and Libertarianism—such that I understand them—in the Kionist Manifesto, the Kionist Magicfesto side is a spiritually based vision.

I don't think we can get out of the current world crisis without recourse to Higher Powers.

The Fearless Arts summary tag is:

Hard Politics, Magical Realism and Deep Spirit

Where Deep Spirit faces off against Deep State. I work with Rudolf Steiner's ideas of social renewal. I find them to be very profound and starting with my latest stack I shall be talking much more about Rudolf Steiner's ideas. Many of the solutions I propose will be based on Steiner's insights.

Working with angels is an anathema to many people, even in the Truth Movement. What to do? After two years of writing I decided to do the Only Way thing with spirituality.

I don't think human beings are ready for anarchy right now. Perhaps when we are far more enlightened we can live in a caring, sharing, voluntaryianism social order with no rules but the moral order each person lives by. Rainbow Gatherings give a little glimpse of what this might be like.

There is an urgent need to remove the Anglo-American Ruling Classes, but it would not be followed by nothing and no one. Brevolution cannot happen, or would be wasted, without a vision of a new society. The old system is replaced by Nuremberg Trials 2.0, Waldorf Schooling, Bio-Dynamic farming, Three Folding, Beau-capitalism, money based on trust and real exchange, no advertising and much more.

Thanks for your feedback.

Blessings

Steve

A voluntarist, yeah (don't ever use the word anarchist due to its deserved associations, and because voluntarism is a much more clearly and further defined concept by now, the word completely untainted and not at all ambiguous).

There will, of course and obviously, be a transitional time and circumstances, but I think voluntarism contains a great vision for a different form of human community. Surely one for more enlightened souls, though, I would agree with you. I wouldn't argue too much either that a higher power might inevitably be required to help things along to a permanently higher level.

Gotta start somewhere, though, and this current thing is super broken, unfixable in my view, and I can't spend any more time or energy on anything that suggests it can be. Communities of voluntarists would not be doing that, with each other, anyway, and the thought of that I always find a very positive and optimistic one.

The world at large is another matter.

Hope you're well. Jim
