People want to use the power of the religious cult of 'the state' to enforce their world
view, wants and wishes. The girl getting married wants a legally
binding 'marriage contract' to make it less likely the father of her
child will just push off and never pay for the raising of his children
(and the feller wants his wife to commit to not sleeping with other men
and dupe him into paying for a child not his). The voter prays for a new
school, road, hospital built in their town at the expense of tax-payers
in other towns who do not get the same. And people wish for the idea of
what is 'their property' expanded to include all 'state' controlled
property and have influence on what can happen to that, the same, by
usurping the power of the state to do their personal bidding.
I
question: what gives one set of people living in one part of the world
divided by imaginary lines, (drawn a century ago on a map by an elite
oligarchy of psychopathic priestly manipulators), apparently no right to visit,
live, work or invest on the other side of that illusionary divide?
I
believe Joe Soap is fully entitled to say he does not want, for
whatever reason, whosoever in his bed, home, garden, farm, business or
property. That is his business and if he wants to, say, run a hotel
that bans Japanese people, transvestite people, tall people and smart
people that is up to him. If there is a market for having a hotel that
does not have such a dull and muddled outlook on what is necessary for
commercial success Joe will never get to own a chain of hotels
around the world.
If a whole island is owned (roads, beaches, the
lot) by a conglomerate of Joe Soap's mates: they can do the same.
There will also be places in the world where everyone is welcome to come
and spend, flourish and thrive. Backwaters like Joe's Island
will soon enough become a thing of the past.
But whilst there is
the power of the state, which will always be usurped to do the bidding
of individual's preferences and xenophobic based beliefs, there there
will always be a perversion, a corruption, on the form of balanced human
societal structure that would rapidly manifest without it, that is
without 'the state'.
