RE: Playing Politics is Immoral and Stupid
Thanks for sharing... I did ask for your own words but hey Plato's are as good as any :-)
My understanding of what Plato / yourself are saying with this quote is that none of the evil in the world will stop until good, moral people (philosophers) get into power through government or that those who rule us (through divine intervention) some how become good and moral.
I could see you seeing this as a way to solve the problem of evils in the world but I do not see it as an answer to how Anarchy is immoral and wrong. Did I missing something here?
Anarchy etymologically means the absence of rulers, not chaos. So having no masters, no slaves and treating everyone as actual human beings with rights is certainly not immoral. I do appreciate your response because I try to understand where others are coming from, especially in cases where I disagree because it helps build understanding. Thanks!
