Libertarian presidential candidate looks to get rid of the federal government
Libertarian presidential candidate Adam Kokesh explains why he wants to abolish the federal government.

Smaller government is one of the leading ideas of the Libertarian Party, but one 2020 presidential candidate Opens a New Window. is taking the principal one step further. He says that if he wins, on his first day in office, he would abolish the federal government and then resign.

“America is too good for this government,” said Libertarian presidential candidate Adam Kokesh to Judge Andrew Napolitano during an appearance on FOX Business’ “Kennedy” Opens a New Window. on Monday. “It’s time for us to be united in freedom instead of government.”

Um, he would not be able to do that. And even if he thinks he can...then what? Libertarians make no sense. Their ideas, if implemented would just create more chaos and misery for ordinary people. And the corporations and oligarchs would still exist...so would other governments that could take full advantage of a country with no government and no leader.


I listened to Adam Kokesh and Sam Seder having a discussion...and he couldn’t answer several of Sam’s questions about how the country would suddenly operate and what to do about certain circumstances. I think Adam likes the attention...and he sounds like an ok guy, nice enough...but he hasn’t thought his ideas through to logical conclusions or even to some more logical questions.

LIbertarianism is self-limiting. Apparently, the target number of people who can function without a system of laws, responsibilities, rights, is in the 150-200 range. Explains how Inuvit communities so successfully self govern, and why church communities of a certain size tend to chug on quite happily.

So what would happen to everybody else? Libertarians say they believe in non-violence but if a country that size suddenly had no federal government (their government is in shambles at the moment but some things are still working properly for good). Is it not violent to take the action to just abolish and drop all the structures keeping the country afloat, with all the people who need help? I think it’s irresponsible and immature (of Kokesh) to not consider that. (Beyond my first question, the rest was more for @Ritafee)
 
It’s a recipe for tribal violence and civil wars to break out - or occupations by other governments. That’s what happens when governments fall and the vacuum is left to be filled. It’s not freedom.

He sees it as powerfully corrupt? How regressive ...

Self-limiting can only go so far with great men that confine themselves to very sharp points and don;t know they are well whetted ... the rhetoric of fiery words ... a' roue in past linguistics! Word can stir just about the most stunned folk you can imagine ... if displacing the thought thereof!

Doncha think now ...
 
It’s corrupt...the government is corrupt...but wouldn’t it be corrupt, and an abuse of power - for him to unilaterally abolish it all (if he could)? Just think of how many people would be hurt by that and how much chaos and harm could happen in the wake of it. Descent into total dystopia, even worse than now. Masses of people would die in the struggle for daily life, if the US had no government...some Lord of the Flies...”Piggy” on steroids, worse than Trump - an oligarch, a corrupt foreign leader - would fill the vacuum. That kind of chaos is ripe for fascist authoritarians. I don’t understand how libertarians cannot see that they are helping the wrong side of history. It’s hypothetical that it could even happen (Kokesh being elected and successfully abolishing the government)...but thinking of it, if I would surely rather support democratic socialism for good government...not libertarianism, for no government.

Perhaps it is because we don;t know any better ... due to that famous scripture about the damned tree of knowing ... the arc of the upstanding thing creating shadow! In Nordic Lands this was Odin ... and nice young ladies wouldn't be caught dead in the woods with a woodsman ... for fear of hacking, coughing and sneezing ... sneezing causing temporary loss of essence ... in spirit ... something blew!

Life is like a shot in the dark ... since for those who listen ... nothing is told of past Eire ... to maintain perfection ... thus we remain stunned if not stumped --- the Lorax! (on how it all come down)
 
Does Adam Kokesh have a messiah complex?

It is a sacred complex in politicians that brings out simple wars ... over things we haven't a clue about unless you read deeply ... that's myth for yah!

I'm not political ... so I have no clue about political complex ... except it appears quite simple from my subtle position! I am really lo' due to theological displacement and denial ... it is insane to know what's going on in this world ... as clues appear abstract ... not quite gathered well! The passage could continue as a hole in Alice's dark glassy eyes on the onset of endogeneity ... a split in data/statistics and dreams/imagination!

Projection is denied as improper ...

You’re not political? But you mention political issues often.:unsure: :)

I'am fascinated with confusing situations and attempt to figure on the totally indeterminate nature of extreme emotions ... god-like idealisms ... thus there is potentially no end to my pilgrimage ... although some of the determined would like to put me down ... like a sheep in the temple?

I imagine the sheep thinking: "why me Lord?" Thus we move along in the darker fringe ... black sheep in the religious community?

Could be the pits of immersion ... never ignore the extreme points ... a sun flare has some to point out ...
 
It provides us something to climb out of according to the Kubler Ross Depression curve ... a line all bent out of shape by excessive emotional input as wild tempers? Be Kohl ... then up chi comes as Chi Roue ... the overheated rule? Explains maddening mobs too ...

Some of my surrounding host describe me as sobering in appearance ... but what do they really know? Flowering cacti ... flower drumming is a prickly situation so as to add to the poesy ...

Learning of the extreme ends of the scales is painful process ... thus we learn in pain ... explaining life as prescribed by some lording demons ... a cross connect? Transference ...
 
“The government is not the solution; the government is the problem.”
No, no. You’re obsessed by “the government”. It’s irrational. The government is you, it is me, it is people, it is who we vote for, it is how we choose to structure the system, it’s how we cooperate with others...and what we choose to cooperate in. If you took the “government” away you would still find more corrupt forces, like peeling an onion. Some greedy people would still be plotting for power. And another “government”, for better or worse, would replace it. The government is mostly composed of people working in offices, getting by. Greedy power hungry human beings are the problem. The solution is responsible government that is led by and composed of people who care about people.


Maybe Kokesh has forgotten that the collapse of systems after coups...like the Iraq war that he fought in, is deadly. Have you even thought at all about what the collapse of an entire country’s government looks like? There are plenty of examples...it causes chaos and starvation and mass exodus. Have you not seen the devastation and chaos that happens when there is no government? There would be no USA. There would be a lot of dying people, though.

Libertarian politicians are morons:mad:, and they irk me. It’s great Kokesh protested the war. But that does not mean he knows what he’s talking about beyond that.

All is chaos ... chaos being a measure of disorder created by rising eruptions ... this myth can be expanded upon ... an ankh to the generally restive ...
