In both cases the party that wants to maintain control relies upon force rather than on consensual exchange don't they?
not at all. the warlords may use force, here in america it is a consensual exchange. it is part of a silly little concept that us people who live in societies call 'the social pact' or something to that effect. in exchange for the benefits of society, you voluntarily give up certain things. and yes, it is voluntary, as you always have the option to abscond to the wilderness or somalia or join the amish and truly 'own yourself', whatever the fuck that means. all for the low, low price of leaving the society.
Do you agree with me that in the United States you don't really own your self etc?
you always use that meaninglessly obtuse definition of 'owning yourself'. so your question is meaningless. perhaps if you used terminology that wasn't so obtuse, your question would have meaning and i would be able to answer it.
Concerning mooching your money. I'm fine without mooching anyone's money. In fact that is what I advocate. That nobody, no individual or entity should "mooch" or use fraud or force to make another pay for something.
i bet you still cash the SS check when it gets there.
