This man has no idea what the function of government is does he? If he means what he says here, no, clearly not. How does he think people are supposed to provide electricity and water for themselves? Water, maybe. You could catch rain water or melt snow and boil it and hope that boiling it kills enough of what’s living in it to not kill you. How are you going to boil it? You need heat. Hmmm. How are you going to get heat? Burn wood? Where are you going to get that wood? Unless you have a ton of land with a bunch of trees you’ll have to buy that wood from someone that has wood. Interesting. It’s almost like we’re all interconnected and we rely on each other for different goods and services.

And what about electricity, how are the people supposed to generate that? Legit question here because there is no easy way for an individual or small family unit to reasonably generate electricity. Generators run on fuel that has to be purchased, using an infrastructure and monetary system mostly paid for with money from taxes. Solar panels? Well, those had to be purchased. No individual is building solar panels. Same with wind turbines or geothermal. I suppose an individual might be able to build a windmill type setup if they had the know-how. But you’re not going to be generated enough power with that to do anything more than run a 4W nightlight.

The “rugged individual” concept is dead and rampant capitalism is what killed it. We’re far too interconnected whether some of us want to admit it or not.
