I've looked at several news stories but have failed to find what the G20 protesters stand for and why they are causing CHAOS. The Welcome to Hell protest is reported to be Anti-Capitalists and Anarchists. The news stories show violence and the police throwing people to the ground and getting attacked.
Interestingly all the protesters seem to be wearing manufactured clothing, a product of capitalism and civilization. I've put a lot of thought into trying to make fabric without access to manufacturing. (Even the Amish buy manufactured fabric.) And I'd have to bet the protesters all have cell phones... a product of civilization. What does anarchy produce except warlords and slaves? Without rule of law hardly any progress could happen at all. Life would go back to being tribal, very dangerous, crude, dirty and short.
Without rule of law things would get very dicey. Sure you could smoke your pot and not pay taxes but you also have no rights to freedom or to own anything. Anyone bigger and stronger can come along and take it from you. I can understand a community wanting to be self governing. But still there is governing... the very thing the anarchists despise.
The Anti-Capatialists are looking for a collectivist society where everyone is equally entitled to the wealth and lands. While I feel more compassion for this group in that in theory they want everyone sharing and holding hands and being peaceful. Do these look like peaceful people to you?
That's me btw...
While I would love to have greater access to roam freely across lands that are currently owned and I'd also like there to be river and lake access that's free & free land should I want to set up housing wherever I want, a lot of the freedoms we take for granted are a result of people having property rights. See sources for more reasons why property rights are important.
Communists aka Anti-Capitalists seem to want everyone else to be generous.
If the anarchists really want to live somewhere without rule of law why aren't they moving to Somalia?
Because it seems they love all those things that rule of law entitles them to and yet like to protest against it.

Anti-capitalists should either walk around naked or only in clothes they have made from materials they have harvested in the wild.
EXACTLY !!! Like a kid complaining that they don't like the dinner provided to them.
People look a bit upset. And you're looking a bit creepy there yourself Miss SHTF...:))
Thank you! Every time you comment I upvote your comment. You should have 10 cents by now!
Thanks O Great One! :))
Anti-capitalists? I wonder if George Soros is funding this. He funds chaos.
According to The Blaze Soros is a Globalist and therefore not behind this particular protest. He does enjoy stirring the pot though doesn't he? I don't like the idea of one world government. I like it how it is. If we screw up America I still want there to be other places to escape to. New Zealand is looking very nice.
You'd have to be really wealthy for New zealand property because the rich are buying it like mad.
I wouldn't want to live there, I've heard what the Kiwi's pay for tobacco ;-)
What do you mean? Doesn't everyone pay for tobacco if they use it?
indeed, and evermore public health is used as an excuse to extort people (who hapen to like to smoke)
because our governments need to find money somewhere ....
but in New Zealand tobacco prices are like ludicrous https://www.expatistan.com/price/cigarettes/auckland
I think it gets in the way of free choice in lifestyle.
would Canada be too cold for you? http://www.thehealthyfoodfridge.com/canadian-town-giving-land-job-anyone-willing-move/
Well, this is not for foreign workers... says https://www.facebook.com/FarmersDaughterCountryMarket/posts/1144339918971914
They left that out of the article... I guess the winters would be brutally cold so high up north. and close to he ocean
By the way you need to be able to weave to make cloth. Requires a bit of machinery
I can crochet and I grow some cotton but it looks horrendous with the simple spinning machine I devised.
Somethings we just can't do ourselves. Check out "primitive technology" on you tube. My favorite channel
Primitive Technology is what got me making YouTube videos. Love that guy!
I built a wood fired pottery kiln after watching him build his. Took me 2 weeks.
Bloody good question, looks like communists posing as anarchists. They are the establishment, I suspect that it is theatrics.
I heard a lady i know say she wanted to go protest like she did in the 60s. IT was fun. She said she didn't care what they were protesting about. Idiocy.
Omg
So, serious questions for the anarchists.
Do you really want to go back to "Whomever has the biggest stick, rules"?
I mean...some of these people... yeah... you aren't going to end up on the top of the mountain. Just sayin'.
They don't look look like the sharpest sticks in the jungle... "People who live in grass houses shouldn't throw spears..." (Favorite Farside cartoon.)
