That's a great idea. We should all organize into a civil organization. Some people will be in charge of maintaining peace, they'll be trained into the use force, about laws, etc. We'll call them not-the-police.
Then the rest of the people can worry about other things in their life.
We are not talking about the west alone are we?
@DanielKO lol yeah, I was explaining how police force is delegated from the populace
I am totally with that but the government or an organization needs to regulate the militia
@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) Who regulates the regulators?
Through payment and make it their job.
The public through legislations and a perfectly working democratic system.
The public can regulate the regulators by deposing them through elections.
"perfectly working democratic system." gonna have to stop you right there bud...
@Deleted User It was meant to be sarcastic lol
And a plitician is supposed to stop a guy from creating a posse to take over people's property?
He already paid off 40 guys
he can pay off 40 cops
And your small posse is going to stop my even bigger posse?
very true but so can one militiaman
Right...
Everyone already has their own posse: It's called their community
The point of paying off a shit ton of people is very hard
Which is why an organization of such men is needed.
Of course it can be possible but it is raising stakes
@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) YOu're advocating for an organzied volunteer militia to maintain a presence throughtout the area.
Yes, it's a good idea
It can either be controlled by a public institution which we call the government or it can be private as well as long as that private institution is trusted
People will have guns to protect themselves from such organized militia in case they feel their intervention is unjustified.
The US invented a thing called 'seperation of powers' that decentralizes power down to the smallest level
I love it.
@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) The people will BE the organized militia
Not all certainly
That's their *duty*
Other than being a militia there would be people who will not be militia and would prefer doing other jobs
It would be a volunteer militia
the US invented seperation of powers?
i thought it was the French
So only the willing shall join.
The french fucked it up lol
@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) yes thats thepoint
if you're willing, then you are deserving
All I am saying is without a formed organization to pay these folks what's stopping a band of these men to unite and kill other bands
@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) If you pay them, that's when it gets dangerous
