This fella is basically your typical anti-social Anne Rand type. At least that is my impression from digging into his blog a bit. He wants what he wants and that means that because government provides services that he doesn't consume (or doesn't think he does) or which he disapproves of it is bad.

"Wikileaks has made a forward assault on the governments of the world, and as of yet seems immune to their prosecutions" paranoia and violence cling to this sentence, government must be assaulted. I'd like to see his gun collection and food stock room....sorry just couldn't resist engaging in some polemics of my own.

He likes Romers "Charter City" concept, because people "buy in" to it. My impression of the charter city system is that they create city states controlled by the owners of capital. These cities are tightly controlled non-democratic institution that are driven by the pursuit of profits. The will excel in this endeavor because they will have strict control of wages and behavior. Get drunk one night and yell at the neighbors and you will be ostracized. Get sick and cant do your job for some months, ostracized. Advocate for better working conditions, say you want regular bathroom breaks and the company wants you to shit out another widget instead ostracized. They will potentially attract many workers if wages are marginally higher and crime is marginally lower than then the in the third world cites they are recruiting workers from.

The idea that government is bad and whatever opinion "I" hold is good seems pretty pervasive now a days. Living in a society means that you will be part of somethings you approve of and you will also be involved in things you disapprove of. Them's the breaks. Kenneth can rub the lucky stone in his pocket all day wishing for his Libertarian or anarcho-syndicalist society, but I'll do what ever I can to see it not come true. I don't believe in letting children grow up uneducated or letting old folks starve, I like that government helps the losers in our society, I don't believe in creating uneducated criminal classes or letting grand-folks starve. I realize that to get these societal benefits I'll have to pay taxes and that these taxes will go to other things that I wouldn't choose to buy into, if I had a choice.

Children learn that they won't get their own way all the time at a very young age, seems like a large proportion of our society has forgotten that lesson.
