Most Hated Word #3: Anarchism
The Third Big Mistake made by America's Founders was to reinstate a government when they had just succeeded in abolishing the one they had.
If they were logically consistent with their ideal of "Liberty Under God," America's Founding Fathers would not have replaced the government they abolished with another.
 
Tragically, America's Founders were men of their age, products of their times, and they labored under the mistaken belief that God commands men to form civil governments.

This was the third huge mistake they made.

The time has come to bury this belief.
It's time to put the Bible ahead of human traditions.
 
The government America's Founders created turned out to be more tyrannical than the government they abolished.
They sold the Constitution to America as a document of "enumerated powers," “checks and balances,” “separation of powers,”
and popular representation that would
prevent another tyranny from arising.

Or so they said.

Their Constitution failed miserably.
 
Every Single person who signed the Constitution
in a convention presided over by George Washington
was concerned about tyranny,
and worked diligently to prevent it.
But they would all admit
that today's government is
a greater tyranny
than the one they abolished,
and the Constitution is a complete failure
as a document intended to protect our so-called "rights."
 
The tax on tea in 1775 was three pence per pound.
The tax on gas today is ten times greater.
The total tax burden today is 20 times greater than all the taxes imposed on the colonies by Britain combined.
 
And the British government never dreamed
of using the tax revenue they collected to
fund abortions,
or pull copies of the Ten Commandments
off classroom walls or Courthouse plazas,
and promote homosexuality to first-graders.
 
Instead of declaring that we had a "right" to
"No Taxation without Representation,"
We should have said,
politicians have a duty to God
not to steal.
 
The British Empire was not as atheistic or totalitarian as our government is today.
Washington and the Founders would be horrified at our tolerance for atheistic tyranny.
 
Once you admit that some men have the right
to rule over others, on what basis do you stop them
from "going too far?"
This question has never been successfully answered
in the history of political science.
It certainly hasn't been answered in America.
What about Romans 13?

We'll cover that.

Believe me; we'll cover that.

The common understanding of Romans 13 and the Biblical doctrine of the State is more of a bumper sticker or sound-bite than a complete theory of the State that takes into account the entire Bible.

This is not a difficult or complex issue. It simply requires a degree of boldness to say "yes" to the Bible and to reject the theories of human institutions.

You will have many questions and objections to these ideas. If you have the courage to wrestle with the ideas with an open mind, then iron will sharpen iron.


Lysander Spooner was right:

the Constitution "has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it."

The “parchment barrier” against power (James Madison’s term for the Bill of Rights) wasn’t much of a barrier.

 

An-archism = Opposition to Archism
Archism = Institutionalized Vengeance/Violence

If you oppose violence, then you reject the concept of imposing your will on other people by initiating force against them or threatening them with violence.

But that's what "the State" is. The whole idea of "the State" is to use force to accomplish some personal or social goal, or eliminate some personal or social obstacle.

A logically consistent pacifist is an anarchist.

Jesus was a pacifist, therefore He was an anarchist.

We were taught in our government school civics class that "anarchists" are bad. The dictionary tells us that the word comes from the Greek words a-  meaning "not" and "archist." But we were never told what an "archist" is.

It turns out that "an-archists" are good people. It is "archists" who are bad.

When most people hear the word "anarchist" they think of a bomb-throwing assassin who doesn't believe in private property. But in fact, during the 20th century, "archists" -- the government opponents of "anarchism" -- dropped more bombs and confiscated more private property in a single day than so-called "anarchists" did in an entire year.

But mostly, when people hear the word "anarchist" they think of someone who is against "the government."

  • I believe in a well-governed, orderly society.

So why a defense of "anarchism?"

Because the greatest threat to a well-governed, orderly society, is the institution that drops the most bombs, assassinates the most people, and confiscates the most private property.

That dangerous force is none other than "the government."

Mark 10:42-45

The classic passage in which Jesus forbids us to be "archists" (and thereby commands us to be "anarchists") is Mark 10:42-45

But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. {43} Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. {44} And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. {45} "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

The word translated "rulers" comes from the Greek word from which we derive our word "anarchist." Jesus clearly says His followers are not to be "archists," and that means we are to be "an-archists." In fact, God hates archists.

Archists attempt to convince us that when things don't go the way we would like them to go, we can resort to violence to change matters. Even if nothing will be changed by violence, that's OK, because making them suffer who made us suffer is called "justice." Archists thus believe in institutionalized vengeance.

Aren't "Anarchists" Lawless and Disorderly?

No. Archists are.

When the mainstream media uses the word "anarchist," they don't mean someone who opposes the vengeance, violence, and coercion of "archism." They mean someone who engages in riots, assassinations, destruction of private property, and creation of chaos and disorder.

But it is archists, not anarchists, who do the most assassinating, destruction of property, and creation of disorder. The picture of riots, overturning cars, bricks through windows, are acts of little wanna-be archists, who oppose one violent archist order only because they themselves want to set up a new archist order, with them in charge, with them disbursing violence, with them ordering the troops to arrest, imprison and execute the "capitalist pigs."

What the mainstream media calls "anarchy" is really "multi-archy" or "poly-archy." It is certainly not the absence of archist coercion and violence.

Archists are in rebellion against the True Source of Law and Order, Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. The history of the world and especially the history of America makes clear this correlation:

More "government" = more disorder and lawlessness

"Anarchists"

  • believe that no person or group of people should "rule" over other people
  • believe that no one has the right to initiate force against others
  • believe that no person or group of people has a right to steal, kidnap or kill.

"Archists"

  • believe they have the right to "rule" over others
  • believe they have the right to initiate force against others
  • believe they have the right to steal ("tax"), kidnap ("conscript") and kill ("smart bomb")
    (or to "vote" for someone to do it for them).

Embrace Those Three Hated Words

On the day after the Constitution went into effect in March of 1789, America and each one of the 13 united States was a Christian Theocracy.

As a militant non-violent Peacemaker, you are going to join other extraordinary Americans in undertaking the task of abolishing the U.S. government and making America a Christian Theocracy again.

In order to become a Peacemaker and receive the blessings of Christ, you must be willing to take the barbs of those who believe in war and conflict. You will be called a "wimp!" You will be told you need to "stand up for your rights!" You will be shouted down with the mantra, "U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!"  Some people just throw out insults at you to justify their refusal to listen, to forgive, to make sacrifices -- in short, their refusal to follow the Prince of Peace.

If they absolutely refuse to listen to reason, and simply want to insult you, you can only pray that God will soften their hearts so you can talk on another day.

But if a person insults you as being "unrealistic," "impractical," or "utopian," and still seems willing to talk to you and listen to your peacemaking advice, you need to be prepared to overcome their objections.

The Samuel Adams Coaching Program will equip you.

But you yourself may have to open your mind to ideas you've been trained to despise.

As Americans -- as products of violent revolution, arms exporting, and consumer selfishness -- we have been trained to shut-off and turn-off ideas which conflict with national ideology.

Here are the three issues which you must wrestle with in order to be a Peacemaker.

  • Pacifism vs. Revolution
  • Anarchism vs. "Representative" Regulation and Redistribution
  • Theocracy vs. Rights
