Why I drive the Speed Limit

We are at war with communism. 

I don’t mean “We” as in the notion of a people or a country. Because such groups of people are already formed as commune’s and thus, are in effect variants of communism in action. I mean, we as indicating each single person, grouping the lot of us only as an act of recognizing that each of us is, in fact, the victim of this war. That, that war is an act of isolation. More accurately stated: Any system that puts itself before the individual where the individual must relinquish his right to his own means of production, is a victim of such a war. 

It is because I recognize that I am at war that I drive the speed limit. 

You see, the State believes it owns not only the vehicle, but it controls the nature of your ability to drive. It owns your means to produce your own thoughts, acts, reactions. It, the State, owns your authority over your own movement. All such actions are based on Marx's work in that men are not self-owned but are in fact cells of the natural entity of State. No man, under Marx owns the means of his own production. Although Marx probably never thought that this would mean "All facets of a man's production", but he must have at least heard of this idea because it was put forth by Hegel. Hegel even recognized that the State was the rightful owner of men, so it shouldn't have been too hard for Marx to recognize that he, himself, right down to the words he formed in his book, were not his own, but subjects of the State's opinion of reality. Luckily for him, he was still free to have the ability to write them and still owned enough of his own right to produce. Unluckily for us, very few people understand this and simply ignore his cognizant dissonance. I shouldn't even be writing about him, that's how much he should be ignored.

The State is in fact NOT the owner of my means of production. Not in any form. It does not determine the value of my work. It does not determine the value of the products and incomes I establish with my work. It does not determine how I use the products and incomes of that work. The State owns nothing of its own. The State, all States, every form of it, is a parasite that must use violence as its measure of determining its authority. It, thus, steals my production through the threat of violence. The State's obvious theft occurs in the form of taxation, where it sets a value of the nature of my production and thus, owns a percentage of that means as a method to get its income. 

"But what about roads?" The battle cry of the Statist! 

This argument indicates that we all need roads. That, it is believed, roads are a necessity of life. Although this is far beyond this paper, the object of necessity, as it is called, is not a teleological reality. That is, the notion that roads are somehow necessary and must be maintained is not a 'source of god' that we must concede authority too. Roads are simply an idea, that allows some people to take advantage of, thus, increasing their means of production. So from that perspective, I'm willing to pay an agency to maintain them. But I do not gain the authority to force my neighbor to pay for roads as well. Forcing others to increase my means of production is not only unethical it is outright immoral and if I were to do it personally, say with a gun, I would be in jail. 

This is what charity is supposed to really be about. Roads are my charity. My willingness to pay a percentage of my income (determined by ME) to help keep roads accessible. Charity is not the supplication of man to another as we have been taught by the communists, it is the willingness of men to share their tools and methods to increase everyone's means of production. Everyone increases value under a true system of charity.

We are at war, though. Thus, even charity has been distorted into a sickness of ownership over the actual production of a man himself. The current form of charity is actual slavery, theft where one man is forced into another man's yoke and asked to pull for him.

So how does driving the speed limit impact communism and the State's authority? Imagine the Commissioner of the Highway Patrol arriving at a budget hearing meeting and recounting the following: Your Honorable members. Last year the California Highway Patrol issued one hundred twenty million moving violation citations. It generated two hundred sixty million dollars in additional State revenue. This year we are on track to write perhaps, half as many. And worse, the level of the violations has dropped so that potential revenue for the state might be as low as a third of last year. Where normally we were able to write citations of citizens driving fifteen or more miles above the posted limit, those that we do catch now are one to two miles an hour above the speed limit.

Suddenly the costs of keeping the objects that run this instrument of citation and conviction now outweigh the profit.  You can imagine that first year, the Commissioner of the Highway Patrol would be facing a very large budget cut.  The year after that would come the cuts for the courts where they'd remove the entirety of the traffic division eventually. The year after that the cuts to the government's proposed budgets.  And on and on until the Hydra of Government was chained so that it could no longer grow any more heads. To fight government you have two choices: Outright rebellion, which it expects or active participation. The first method of outright rebellion makes the State look like it is the hero when it 'defeats' domestic 'terrorists' (Waco, Ruby Ridge, Bundy Ranch, Oregon standoff, The Battle of Athens, The Whiskey Rebellion, etc.). Government has the best possible propaganda avenues by which it buttress' its authority. One cannot simply defeat government by showing that it is wrong. 

It needs to defeat itself. 

Thus the second method makes the dog of government hungry enough to lash out at its rightful Master; we the people. Then, perhaps, if we're lucky, a few surviving actual individuals who have not been indoctrinated into their slavery, will recognize that the State is a villainous communism, laying claim to the production and purpose of people by enslaving them to its idea of reality. But probably not.
