Anarchists are perhaps the most idealists of us all. They acknowledge that a given government is corrupt and they try with their own way to fight it. This, I believe, is the worst thing one could do. Those who survive do not fight against the grain. They learn to go along with it.
The reason most centralised institutions are incompetent is due to the nepotism that eventually builds within the ranks. Whatever has given rise to those in power or control, begins to fall apart when incompetence starts flowing through the veins of the system. Add to that the thirst for power, seeing things from a privileged perspective and single points of failure and and the result is an organisation that does not know what they are doing or how their demise is imminent. Yet, they believe they control and know everything, forever.
No matter how frightening this might seem, one should analyze each and every situation with their individual government carefully. Every event in this life can be taken advantage if one is diligent enough. Why fight a conglomerate of power when you can simply manipulate the system to do what you want?
Most people within the government for example have a wagecucking mentality. They work 9-5, go home to their family, vote for the party that shoved them into that miserable, repetitive job and life goes on until they die. This also applies to many people outside the government. The only ones that appear to be able to go around this mentality are the people who own their own business, the investors and entrepreneurs.
A five minute talk with a government employee is enough for one to understand how rotted their existence is. Their only care is how to get a 2% raise over the next 6 months. They count how many benefits and discounts they can put on the side even if these account for minimal gains. In other words, they fail to see the bigger picture and mindle like pathetic pesky rats around breadcrumbs that their masters threw at them. They only see what is in front of them and they use stupendous arguments to defend their position.
Why complain about the poor road design when you can take advantage and park wherever you want? Why complain about funding when one can setup ridiculous schemes and still get away with it because they fail to do the necessary due diligence. Why worry about identity when you can make one up and make them believe is real? Why bother about any fucked up policy or mentality when you can use it against them?
This very simple mentality is what separates the entrepreneurs from the rest. A system such as government is as good as the resistance it can take. If you can work your way through their own rules, and manage to fuck them up, then it is a fail of their own design. It should go down.
Consider this as a "stress test". When the DAO hack occured, I applauded the effort. I found nothing wrong even if it appeared that the guy "stole" the funds. As far as I am concerned the DAO guys claimed that "Code is law". Well, somebody found a way around their code and made his own laws. Too bad. The fail of their own design was proof when the mistake was bailed out (much like a government) instead of letting it die off.
These is no reason to stress over ethics and relevant mambo jambo when the top makes them up on the go. Ethics are what the majority invent in order to keep their peers (and themselves) enslaved. Those who lifted themselves above the rest did not follow the same rules and never bowed to either a government or another huge entity. They played the system, destroyed it and rose above it.
