Forum Post: I need a helpful understanding

I need to understand something from the people of this movement. Taking down a system that is in high effect for the united states without any idea of a system to replace it. Essentially, destroying a system leaves the rest weak, this in turn makes our country weak. What is the plan for the present and the future?

Look at it like this - If someone playfully started taking jabs at you, then the punches got harder, then the punches were full force, your first reaction would probably be to try to stop them from punching you. You aren't thinking about what the repercussions are the next day or how you will live next door to them as a neighbor in the weeks to come...

Firstly, you stop them from punching you.

good point. there is no coherent plan that i can discerne, but there are some interesting ideas out there. one reappraisal of the political-social-economic model, that results in a focus on wellbeing might interest you: http://www.tocamu.com/?page_id=168

Don't even ask, there is no plan here. Only people talking about doing something, but in the end doing nothing.

I for one am not into bringing down the whole system. I'm for common sense campaign finance reform. Which would actually help the country without harming it.

But try and get that across in this place is like talking to the proverbial wall.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck - it's probably not reasonable to think it's a duck is it?

It's called Anarchy....do your research on some of the original founders of the movement.
