"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Governance Without Government
"Governance without government identifies the possibilities for social order without government institutions, bureaucracies, and representative leaders that forcefully mandate acceptable behavior within society. Governance without government does not identify a post-political society where the need to talk and discuss arising social problems does not occur, but rather a post-government society where the mechanisms for social order are embedded throughout society, in the means of production, processes of gifting and exchange, educational systems, and communications apparatus’. Government, if it can still be labeled as such, is stripped of all authority and power, becoming a table for social discussion, rather than a building, an actor separate from society, dictating the present and future of society."
