Let me explain myself a little. I am an American and I have lived here all my life. I know no family that lives outside this country so I too was well indoctrinated by the American propaganda. At a time I once was a proud American that would stand up and pledge my allegiance to the flag when ever the time called for it. But after reading A LOT of history and studied economics I have come to the conclusion that there is no point to all this Americanism. Am I really a traitor to America? I dont think so. America is just a land mass and I prefer to deal with people no matter where they come from I judge on an individual basis. Is government control (The monopoly of force and violence) really the only way to have a society? Don't governments kill more people in a year that us "citizens" kill in ten? What is this backward logic that we must always fight against an overwhelming power in order to live peacefully? What has government done to keep peace? There is always an American occupation of a number of countries or fighting some proxy war even if they are not in direct combat themselves.
The three branches are obviously useless when it comes to individual liberty. If we want a moral health care system we should build one. but we cant because the government has regulations preventing us "regular people" from starting something from the ground up. If we could build one ourselves we wouldnt have to wait fight or wait for the government to decided who is gonna get the monopoly of the market. The only reason these corporations are so large is because of the protectionism that government provides. Read history (not your school book history that the government approves of) the pattern is obvious.
