Is voluntary self-organized service socialist, communist, libertarian, or something else?


How well is that working out? Poor people trying to buy equipment made by people who expect to get paid?

Guess how many fundraisers I heard about when I lived in Johns Creek GA - with a median income of $150K?


What are you talking about? Johnsons Creek has a population of 80,000 people making it larger than 98% of US cities. I live in a town of less than 10,000 surrounded by a county larger than Rhode Island that has huge forest fires at least every decade since the end of the ice age. And we are the heavy populated county in our area.


I am saying that we shouldn’t be okay with living in a country where people live in the middle of nowhere should have to do bake sales to make sure that their one fire truck remains up and running while John’s Creek can afford to pay their firefighters $80K a year and don’t have to do that

When we have state and federal government. Would you be okay with a volunteer police force?
