I am with you on this one.
We need to make Steemit a more attractive proposition for all the people who sell their labor and mind power to it.
We need to create and offer ways for them to earn a sustainable living through building community

I'd like to see the whale experiment come back and limit voting to 100mv.
This way folks with 1000+mv don't dominate the platform by voting their sycophants, and the minnows can count in the math.

>You support these massacres with your apathy.

^This. Silent support is aggression against those whom you claim to support. That may sound like a strong statement, but you're just giving permission to abusers.

All evil needs to triumph is for good people to stand silent.

This is why I spend sooo much fruitless time on the reward pool rape.
If we simply let it occur, it will continue.

The history of the Kurds goes back some years .
Old Sumerian tablets tell a story of the Kurdi , a nomad tribe
that lived in that area , free independent and lawless .

The Kurds don't really want a bordered land to govern , it is not in there nature . The World forced the kurds to claim there right to exist . To do so they had to try and claim the land they already lived on for ages .

I see similarities with the history of native American tribes .
So not at least surprised that the USA again drops a treaty .

The Kurds are to free to exist , can not be controlled so must be
destroyed so the world can pump more oil and gas from north to south .

After the Armenian genocide the Turks would love to wipe out the Kurds to , all for a greater Ottoman empire .

I am afraid that in a near future there will only be art and writings left to reminds us of the Kurds , filled with lies to conceal the truth .

Good knowledge about the Kurds @small1axe. Where are you from ?

The Netherlands , thank you , i might not be well educated but i learned to read and write a bit .
I would not let them educate away my free will do , i can learn and think for myself ;-)

Like it wasn't normal when the Kurds where holding IS away from Turkish borders and Erdogan send in his army to attack those Kurds . I remember those event's even if Media hides them and change the story for there own profit .

No, you're more educated than some "educated" people who probably can't read and write or even just think as well as you. Indeed, some people are aware of what happened and what's happening, and some people with short memories will believe what the stories will tell them tomorrow in the media.

The little power i have , my voice and writing , makes no difference or mark on this world , i am nobody . Most will say , why bother , why even try ?

Cause by doing this i know that i am not alone in my thinking .
Just like a small axe i keep chopping of chip's and bit's .
To tear down oppression and make the need for real freedom grow.

I do not do this anonymous , but i still am ;-)

Consider me the one next to you on the barricades , i am prepared to defend all of our freedom !

Thank @freebornangel for this post! Truly thank you for caring!

First they came for the communists,...

Solidarity with all who suffer aggression!!

...and oppression...but, in a sense...one in the same?

Yes, rule by force is the disease, love is it's cure.

Anarchism just won't work.

Well, at least not if it keeps getting bombed out of existence.

Maybe you should look farther afield for your information, eh?

In the UK, if one was to set out an anarchist system – with no government. Everything would fall apart – crime rates would grow exponentially, no free healthcare would exist, the rich could do whatever they wanted.

Which is why an anarchist community doesn't use money.
Criminals would likely be strung up on lamp posts, and everything would be free.

The workers already do all the work, why they insist on playing a game that makes them buy back that work at a loss is a testament to how effective the mind control has been.

If the workers keep working, but stop paying, only the banksters get mad.

Yes. Can't you imagine problems if it was acceptable to string people up on lamposts, just because you and your mates accuse them of a crime.

Well, if you are a good person, and so are your neighbors, it won't be much of a problem.

When I lived in Mexico I became aware of a number of cases where bad people were given what they had coming.
When the cops got there the neighbors shrugged and said he was a bad man and that was the end of it.

I hope you can free your mind from the walls constructed by those that wish to control you.
Examine you deepest beliefs.
There are reasons that you believe that way, mostly for purposes of keeping you on the plantation and buying at the company store.

I may be a good person, but many of my neighbours are all out for themselves. The issue with anarchy is that it's such a big leap of faith, and requires everyone to follow the system to be successful that it's unlikely to be so.

All anarchy needs to be successful is that you agree not to be a criminal.

If you operated they way the gov't operates, you would be in prison.
Why do accept that it is ok for folks to be criminals, as long as they get a gov't check for doing so?

I don't accept that it's OK for people to be criminals. Prison reforms should (probably) have been underway a few years ago. But there are a huge mass of people who are criminals, and of those some are out purely to make money/their own gain. Surely if you take away everything that is regulating and keeping them in balance, it will just fall apart.

You do accept that some people get to be criminals, otherwise you would be in the streets calling for hitlery to be hung, along with the fbi agents that covered for her.

The third world controls their criminals just fine without massive gov'ts.
When I was in mexico there was very little crime in the neighborhoods because everybody knew everybody and if somebody screamed the neighbors came running with machetes hoping to get to cut some body up for bad acting.

You don't want to get a bad reputation in a free society, you won't last long.
That is why so many criminals come to the united snakes, it is much easier to live as a criminal here.

> and of those some are out purely to make money/their own gain

Sounds like crapitalism to me.

Pure Assumption? SomeWhere On My Channel U should find a #BIGBoobedXplanation of Anarchism... That's About those #People There #Defend Their Land Against #OwnerShipClaims from several #ArmedGangs called States

Victim of the mind control,...

Lulz, seems Meez™ will go there to C IT from a higher PerSpective soon... ;)

If we stopped supporting terrorists and dictators in the region, we wouldn't have to support anyone at all, the region would settle on its own.

Rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.

Excuse me if I sound uninformed but is it true that with Russia coming to some agreement with turkey, that their existence in NATO is in question? Is this a last ditch effort by the US to cater to turkey? Making the Kurds the sacrificial lambs so to speak. Oil along with turkey staying in NATO being more of the priority’s to this regime than staying loyal to the Kurds.

The kurds are anarchists, they were only used while they fit the statist narrative.
Isis bad, kurds good.

Now that they are not needed anymore, they will be sacrificed to larger goals.
Globalism.

The united snakes is only your friend when you serve their needs.

Anarchism cannot be allowed safe haven anywhere, if you are a statist.

The United States GOVERNMENT (actually PRESIDENCY) is only your friend when you serve their needs.

Rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.

Not really. Rule by force is actually necessary sometimes.

Defending yourself from attack is not ruling by force.

As long as nobody is aggressing against you there is no need to defend yourself with violence.

Absent those folks forcing these folks to comply there can be no violent conflicts.

Thank you for this post. The Kurds need all the societal support they can get. Turkey is currently besieging Afrin, Syria, and purposefully slaughtering the Kurds through a thin veil of fighting terrorism. The world MUST band together to prevent an all-out Kurdish genocide at the hands of Erdogan.

Her Biji Kurdistan!
