anarcho-syndicalist? not per se. i base my arguement on a study of the history
of the world's different governments over the past few thousand years.
i know that i would never be able to review all of them, but i researched
most of the major ones. more often then not, i have found, governments
tend to start off with an idealistic purpose, generaly something along the
lines of making the world a better place. usually, though, through time
they become distanced from their original purpose and begin to corrupt.
it happened to communism in russia, it's the reason that the american colonists
decided to form their own government after they were tossed over here.
and it's the reason (partialy) that people are bombing america now.
i am very intrrigued by the sunflower seed oil power tractors. i would be
delighted if you could post something regarding that.
