small scale
(Also, stop boosting my ego. It's not helpful.)
whereas the state is a larger governing body
i am not so sure your grasp what i am refering to
you see to assume the "community" is the people
and the state is seperate
in the USA, we were ALWAYS defined by acceptance of certain core VALUES
community enforced these values and ridiculed those that didn't respect them
I'm saying you are missusing terms and my misunderstanding comes from his missuse
today, the mechanism of social ridcule has been hijacked
when you say "community" it appears to be that you are talking about the people
there is not community
and the state keeps filling the void
not a hypothetical community
But a concept of the people as a collective
which is wrong
don't talk to me if you are going to be a post-modernist
I'm not
yes, it is a concept which i labeled 'community'
is the the proper label? perhaps not
that doesn't invalidate the concept
just the label
Well the concept is flawed
as well
but the post-modernist can't see past superfical labels
indeed we must have decentralized communties that makes their own laws, if we can achive this the state becomes unneccessary
which are you?
The state should exist just shouldn't intervene in domestic affairs as it does.
not 'laws'
and your miss use of the terms is hiding the fact that it is a flawed concept
we have the state for that
@SageTheory no it shouldn't exist at all
besides, 98% of life happens BEYOND the 'laws'
I can't explain why your concept is wrong without explaining that the terms you use are wrong
because if I didn't I'd have no way to explain why your concept is wrong
you don't learn killing is wrong because someone breaks the law and the state punishes you
How are we gonna go to war if we don’t have a state
Lol sorry ancap Utopia is retarded humans aren't built that way.
the community influences people to follow certain social norms that are aligned with the 'law' because law takes it's cue from community precedence
Humans are social creatures, so they'll inevitably create some sort of community.
