Let's Not Defund The Police, Let's Defund The State

Hey Jessactivists

As the protests heat up and start to fragment into various groups all with their agenda and demands, I've seen one compelling call, and that is to defund the police. I find this a fascinating call, that I don't think people understand the gravity of it yet.

Having no police can and will allow criminals and opportunists to run wild of that I have no doubt, but why do we have so many criminals and people desperate enough to turn to crime?

We're currently in a tizzy, as government suck up the wealth and give it to corporates we see more crime, more crime calls for more police and heavy-handed policing, it sees an overcapitalisation of the police and inefficient use of funds.

This is true of the police; it's true of the army, it's true of every state-owned enterprise. The bottom line here is governments waste YOUR Money. The government doesn't have money they either tax you directly or indirectly through deficit spending, also known as inflation.

Your vote has been stripped and made worthless

There was a time where governments had less power, before central banking when they had to convince the people that they needed funding to act. They would sell government bonds to the citizens to raise funds for civil services or wars; this was when the real democratic vote was being used not this farce we see today.

Today your vote means nothing, it's worthless, without the full weight of financial backing what does your vote do besides provide useless statistics for the media to promote.

Protect and SERVE the customer

Governments like the police are there to protect and serve their citizens who fund them, but they are doing anything but, there is such a disconnect between the service provider and the citizen that it could be two different worlds at this point.

I feel that there is no incentive for governments to protect and serve only to pander to it; there is no incentive to improve their service only to promise to think about doing it.

Defunding of the state

The state under the current policy has near-endless resources; they can keep printing and using inflation to their benefit and push us further into an economic gulag. The concentration of power and wealth for them and concentration camps for us and the fences of those camps are slowly getting closer and closer.

State of urgency before the state of emergency

We're in a state of flux right now, and there is a need for action and urgency before we end up in civil wars. The movements are fragmented and directionless and need a way to push forward, and I feel that starting by taking money out of the government's hands is a great way to get them to listen or fund and form our governments.

I'm not sure what's going to happen with all this, but I feel that if we want to be heard we need backing and support, we can't do that with the current financial system. We need to find another way to protect our wealth to combine and collaborate our purchasing power and push for change.

Have your say

What do you good people of HIVE think? Can we remove government power?

So have at it my Jessies! If you don't have something to comment, comment "I am a Jessie."
