Yes.  That is absolutely fine.  As I am prone not to catch my own typos because I already know what it is supposed to say, I will have an editor look it over before I send it to you.

The book is also undergoing some other major revisions as a result of some new books I’ve been introduced to by one of my translators.  So it may be a few months, or perhaps as long as a whole year before I call it finished.

The book is meant to be for free distribution, not for sale.  If that is okay with you, I would appreciate it if you would publish it on any of your sites, should you come to appreciate its content.

Thanks for everything,

I am updating my book based on the facts I have learned in this forum.  When I am done with the updates, would you be willing critique, or even downright criticize my book?  I do not wish only for people who might agree with the notions contained within it to be the only ones to give me feedback.  In order to make it the best that it can be, I also need people who might disagree with it to give me feedback.

Touche.

And public education systems don’t teach these things.  And misinformation is easier to find these days than truth.

Socialism and anarchy are literally the most misunderstood and confusing topics to understand.

Thank you for clarifying Socialism for me.

Kamiron-

P.S. Do you know of a term that relates to “control by all people?”

[KamironFreeman]

So I’ve studied a bit more since then, but I haven’t changed my mind about Socialism.  The definition of Socialism says that ALL PEOPLE control public affairs, however you wish to specify that.  No where in the definition of Socialism does it say that the Government controls everything, nor is it ever implied in Socialism that there is no such thing as Private Ownership.  That is a Capitalist assumption, a knee jerk reaction to a fear of potential loss of property by the capitalist.

I will also exclaim that, after reading “Collectivism, and how to avoid it” that almost everything in that paper that talks about Socialism is actually talking about Capitalism.  I would give examples, but then I would end up pasting the whole document here.

One important Note I feel I must convey is this:  Virtually EVERY parable in the Bible that Jesus makes about the Kingdom of Heaven is basically a definition of Socialism.  How can a devout Christian be so against Socialism, unless they have a grave misunderstanding of what it really is?

All that said, I must exclaim that I am most certainly NOT an advocate of Socialism.  I see Socialism, by itself, as being fundamentally incomplete.  I also see Anarchy and the Republic, by themselves, as being fundamentally incomplete.  But when you mix all three together you get something wonderful.

In my own words, Capitalism is the Service-to-Self model of Service based on Slavery, while Socialism is the Service-to-Others model of Freedom based on Service.  Capitalism works for those who are Selfish, and Socialism works only for communities of people who are truly Selfless.  The two are oil and water.  They will never mix.  It doesn’t mean that Socialism doesn’t work, it simply means it doesn’t work for Selfish people, or for communities of a mixture of both Selfish and Selfless people.

But again, I do not advocate Socialism.  I have come to develop what I call the Holocracy, which has matured into what I define as a Holographically Organized Socialist Anarchy Republic.  And someday, I will most certainly make it a reality.  When my book is complete and fully compiled (it is being scrutinized for clarity by others right now) I will post it here.  Unless the administrator of this thread wishes me not to.

Peace.

I appreciate your most informative response.

You will have to forgive me, I come from a background in Philosophy and I only started studying the Law about 6 months ago. I do, indeed, have a long ways to go and a lot to study still. I began studying the Law recently because I am inheriting my father’s business, who has always run his business as a Sole Proprietor and never paid taxes (except the one time he got sued for over $25K). I wish to operate the business as a lawful entity, but I also do not support the IRS/IMF scam and do not wish to participate in unlawful and fraudulent Income Taxes, and that is the reason I began studying the law.

1. By “State Capitalist” I mean, as opposed to “Private Capitalism.” Private Capitalism is like what we have the United States where the Capitalists are the Private Sector Businesses. Many of the businesses in the United States are actually Gov’t owned Corporations, but also many of them are owned and operated by Foreign Trusts. Google is a prime example, minus the Trust. Last time I checked (and I am going by memory here) Google paid a little over $2 Million in taxes one year, probably mostly income tax and FICA on their employee payroll, while they actually received over $2 Billion in tax returns as a result of their business having far more in tax deductions than they paid in taxes, simply because the Primary Office of the Business is located in Bermuda which has no Income Tax, leading the Company to make a revenue from tax returns.

On the other hand, Russia is a great example of “State Capitalism” where the Gov’t exclusively owns everything and such things as Private Business doesn’t even exist (again, this is based on memory, and I have much less research involved in Russia than the US). Essentially, State Capitalism is where the Gov’t is the Capitalist and owns all the Businesses and everyone else is an Employee, and Private Capitalism is where Businesses [at least appear] to be owned by Private Individuals. Also again, most businesses in the US are the legal property of the Gov’t, however, most of those businesses (especially the highest grossing businesses) are further owned and operated by Private Foreign Trusts (if they aren’t Foreign Entities to begin with) which essentially take the ownership [mostly] back out of the hands of Gov’t, but still keeps the Company subject to Statutory Law, they still have to file Taxes and pay Taxes, but if they play their cards right, they either pay significantly less in taxes, or even get a larger return than they paid in, like Google above (if that Article I read that one time was actually true).

2. Therefore, I do realize that Corporations and other legal entities are Public, and thus the property of the Gov’t, which is exactly what I would like to avoid happening with my Home Improvement Business. The only way I have discovered to skirt around the Gov’t is to establish your business in Foreign Gov’t with a Foreign Trust that owns it. Good places to do this are typically the Cook Islands, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Panama, and others. Another good way to do this is to establish a non-profit foundation that owns and operates all of your businesses. If you establish your businesses as domestic entities, they will still be subject to domestic Statutes, but they will be immune from income taxes via their ownership under a non-profit foundation. The non-profit foundation is bit more work as it involves actually establishing a real non-profit foundation with a real purpose, which I intend to do someday, but first things first. I’m currently leaning towards a Foreign Trust and and Foreign LLC through the Cook Islands for my first Business Venture.

3. I personally do no believe that any Gov’t needs to be involved with any employee owned companies. I don’t see the need for Gov’t to be involved in anything. Quite personally I consider myself to be a Spiritual Anarchist, similar to your Religious Anarchism, except that I do not subscribe to any particular religion, however I do believe in a singular God of all Creation, and I am a follower of what is known as “The Law of One” which states that God is All and All is God; that there is only One and that One is the God of all Creation; that all people are inherently FREE and EQUAL as All people and things are God and God is All people and things experiencing Its Creation through the infinitely various and limited perspectives of all things in Creation. So I believe that employee owned companies can exist without Gov’t involvement. However, I have a slightly different approach to the employee owned model myself. I’m not sure if you are familiar with the Holacracy model (https://www.holacracy.org/), but I am developing a similar model based on a slightly different, but just as naturally existing approach. While the HolAcracy is based on the Holarchy of Nature, my HolOcracy is based on the Holographic Nature and Structure of the Universe. I am currently developing a website for my HolOcracy, it is not up and running yet.

What I would like to accomplish in the future for my businesses, is to structure them as a Holocracy, regardless of what kind of entity that makes the business, so long as the business is not the property of any Gov’t and is Privately Owned and Operated by it’s “Members” (there are no employees/employers in the Holocracy). The Holocracy would be most similar to a Member Managed LLC in that it is managed by its members, but is most similar to an Employee owned business, in that everyone that works in the business is an Equal Co-owning/Co-managing Member, with an equal income to everyone else (it’s not just a free for all though, there are rules and regulations to help maintain efficiency and equal accountability). There is otherwise too much to explain about the Holocracy in this response, if you are curious I can give you the link to my website once it is up and running, but I still have a lot to figure out before I make it public. I’ve been working on it for two years now, at first, from a philosophical approach, but since I began studying the Law, it’s been going through a lot of changes and growing pains (Honestly, I could use some help, or it will take me FOREVER).

4. What Wolff explains is that Socialism is a highly misunderstood term mainly because of how it was initially synonymous with Communism, but then Russia, one of the first to become so-called “Communist” never actually finished becoming Socialist, they merely made it as far as becoming State Capitalists, and then Lenin’s Successor (can’t remember his name) instead of finishing what Lenin started and reforming Russia entirely into Socialism merely declared that the current state of affairs was Socialism and that they would call it “Communism.” However, the current state of affairs was not yet Socialism as Wolff defines it, it was merely “State Capitalism” as explained above.

Socialism is mostly defined by its root word “Social” whereas Capitalism is also most defined by its root word, “Capital.” Capitalism claims to create a “free enterprise,” but you can clearly see that only the people on top of the Capitalist Pyramid are the one’s that are “free” while all the “employees” are actually slaves/serfs. On the other hand, Socialism claims to protect the “freedom and equality” of all its people. With or without “ownership” True Socialism, as I understand it, would protect the Freedom and Equality of all people as that is the fundamental basis of True Socialism. In Socialism, I believe there would be absolutely no concept of ownership at all, it’s either that, or everyone needs to have equal ownership status (such as in the Holocracy). Essentially, from my point of view at least, God is the only one that can claim to have ownership of any land, because only God created the land. In a business, a creation of Mankind, ownership under True Socialism would either have to be God owned and Member operated, or Member co-owned and operated (such as in the Holocracy). Either way, the basic premise of Capitalism, just like the basic premise of Statism is the the centralization of wealth, power and authority. While True Socialism demands the decentralization of wealth, power and authority, and this is what makes Socialism the opposite of Capitalism. Capitalism is based on Centralization, and Socialism is based on Decentralization.

Again, the reason modern Communism is so confused with True Socialism is because a) they were originally synonymous and b) modern Communism claims to be True Socialism when it never actually finished becoming Socialism, and so Modern Communism is no longer synonymous with Socialism, but rather Communism is “State Capitalism” and Democracy is “Private Capitalism.” I got all that from watching Wolff. So perhaps he was mistaken about something? Personally, I like the idea of True Socialism as I have described herein, whether or not it agrees with any other version or definition of Socialism. But I am led to believe that Socialism is actually completely misunderstood today because of the confusion of how it became what is currently modern Communism, which modern Democracy is quite synonymous with in the sense of how the Gov’t operates.

I personally believe in Self-Government and am working on an idea for a new Societal Structure and Social Compact which defines a Holographically Organized Socialist Anarchy form of Self-Gov’t, that is really not all that different from existing systems; the differences are mainly in the psychological effects of the language and structure used in the promotion of Freedom and Equality for all (Otherwise, there is really no other way to organize a society, so the main differences are upon how the organization is defined and described. The main problem with our current governmental systems is the Pyramid Structure and language that psychologically destroys Freedom and any sense of Equality). But if I am, in fact, incorrect about my use of the word “Socialist,” then I will have to find a better word to use. At the moment, Socialism makes the most sense as the term to use based on the term itself and the meaning of True Socialism as herein described.
