i hope it would work out? thats your answer? trust to hope?
its not exactly stirring stuff to get behind in a political philosophy, not exactly offering much in the way of practicalities. Simply stated it could not be done without the consent of the majority.... a two tier sperate society.

that said greenland could soon become livable due to Global waming, perhaps the individualists could start a new society over there. i can well imagine 10,000 individualists at a meeting trying to organise building roads between each of their individual houses and their individual hospitals etc.

i wonder would they contract out to "collectivist" states to provide the services that they cant..... much like it happens today.

even if an individualist society were created, im intrigued as to how it would work.

could you please enlighten us on how the mechanics of such a society would work, for instance in the bulding of roads, hospitals, and other infrastructure.

I would think that a creative people loosed from governmental and arthritic societal constrant and oppression would find numerous ways of accomplishing what may be considered necessary.

i dont know and i have no answers.

trust to hope?

it will all work out?

i wonder can you see the difficulty in following such a philosphy. a buiness was run along the same lines, it would fold quite quickly unless extrememely lucky.

can you please provide something more concrete?


as to Riverdance, funny that, its a private company made up of voluntary individuals, with a common interest and erm "talent" who come together to perform and sell that product. oh dear no, its an ode to commercialism. as i said at the start of this thread its funny how one can get to the same place from differing perspectives!

and thank you for reducing a cultural dance that has been in existence for hundreds of years before fascism was even thought of to a modern political philosphy. Thats some fine police woth there, Lou! i suppose if you look hard enough you will see fascism everywhere, whether it exists or not.

If i were a nationalist, Or an irish dancer, i could take offense, but after all its riverdance and kitschily irrelevant (and quite frankly embarrasing)
