Reject your political party series completion
Artwork by Thomas Nast.
Those of you who have known me for a long time will probably have noticed a shift in my thinking over the last ten years, especially in the realm of American politics. I have come to the conclusion that we all should reject our political parties, and our political processes in general. Rather, we should favor peace and voluntary interactions for societal organization. I have prepared a series of essays outlining why I’ve made the transformation I have made. The links are below. Please start with the introduction, and go from there. The essays specific to the political parties can be read in any order. If you would like to read them in the order that I wrote them, read them in the order they are listed below.
Please don’t think of these as anything more than what they are. They are essays written off the top of my head based on years of research. They are not properly footnoted and I have not included a bibliography. There are probably numerous spelling and grammar mistakes. Please challenge everything contained in these essays. I’ve accomplished my goal not if I change anyone’s mind, but if I cause the reader to sincerely reflect on his own beliefs and to pursue further independent study.

A Disclaimer About My Politics
Thanks for reading this post, I hope I challenged you in some way. Agree with me? That’s cool. Disagree? Even better. I’m just a random guy on the internet, voicing his opinion (at the time of writing this blog post – check the date; opinions change as more facts and experience are gathered). But imagine if I had the political power and will to force you to agree with me! That would be terrible, and that’s the point of voluntarism and non-aggression. You should not be forced to agree with me. Please extend me the same courtesy.
“The word ‘politics’ is derived from the word ‘poly’ meaning ‘many’, and the word ‘ticks’ meaning ‘blood sucking parasites’.” -Larry Hardiman
