Americans say that living in a police state today is better than having freedom that might lead to tyranny.
You guys should read a book titled, Our Enemy The State, by Albert Nock.
Nock explains what government is, and It'll surprise you. And why what we have, no matter which country we may live in, is not even government at all. We live under the thumb of an entity called, The State. I think it was it was one of the most important books on government ever written. And one of the most important on any subject written in the 20th century. I always highly encourage people to read it.
