Politics is an unnecessary evil. An intrusive and corrupt institution that sharply opposes the unanimous and natural civilizing processes of a free society, its creature - the state - has amazingly been lugged all the way into the twenty-first century by its subjects.
This book, by displaying its hypocrisy, astronomical cost, and obsolescence, finally finishes it off, and drives the nails in its coffin.
Packed full of hilarious, thought-provoking cartoons by Rex May (Baloo), this book exposes myth after political myth and lays the farce of majoritarian and authoritarian politics bare for all to see. But it doesn't stop there. It shows how a civil society naturally emerges as these bureaucrat-wielding autocrats retreat, it shows how to make them retreat, and it offers a glimpse of what the world will look like once mankind finally lets go of leviathan.
These monopolizers of knowledge would have us believe that we are all just helpless sheep if we don't have them around as our big brother. While deep in our souls, we want them off our backs, we are conditioned by them to be afraid to let go. But as long as we keep feeding them, they will keep biting our hands.
Is it possible for us mere mortals to survive on our own - without politics? Indeed it is! If anything threatens our survival, it is politics itself - surrendering our ability to make our own decisions, while treating politicians as gods, giving them immunity from accountability for their own actions.
This book demonstrates that the road from a political society to a civil society is far less bumpy than the pothole littered alternative of staying the course. It's as easy as letting go. because the solutions present themselves as politicians get out of the way. The laws of nature can not be legislated, prohibited, or rewritten by politicians, no matter how "humanitarian" they claim to be. Maintaining the political parasite class never fails to do far more harm than good to us - the working class.
There is clearly life after politics. This book proves it.
