What's up with all the anarchists? # This program mimics what it's like to be in the Libertarian Party and constantly reevaluating # every reason for everything that governments do. # Do not panic. If you're serious about liberty, you ARE doing this already. # Expect a lifelong process of doing this unless one of two things happen. # This script ignores any possibility of you giving up on liberty, putting Hobbes' Leviathan in that # special exalted place in your bookcase, and eagerly embracing the violence and coercion of the state. # Let your list (named Justifications) start by including every known reason to even consider having a # government that's held in place by any level of coercion.

Forever. # There's still stuff in Justifications, right? # The while loop only continues to repeat if there is. # ...But there has to be, right? # You probably got rid of a lot of stuff on the first few passes. Those are the easy ones. # You probably went through several passes without removing anything. Is this the final state? # No wait, you thought something through, possibly after getting more information about it, and # now it's gone from your Justifications list too. But it wasn't the last item, was it? # ...Was it? # If you've reached this line, then the while loop has ended. # This can only mean one thing: print "You have no remaining justifications for the state." print "It's time to admit to yourself that you have become an anarchist." print "Don't panic.
