"Many parents and teachers regularly repeat what is perhaps the most basic rule of humanity, sometimes called “The Golden Rule”: Treat others the way you want to be treated. However, none of the teachers, and almost none of the parents, who spout that rule actually live by that rule, because, by way of “authority,” they advocate that extortion and coercion be inflicted upon everyone they know. “The Golden Rule” is essentially a formula for anarchy: if someone does not like to be dominated and forcibly controlled by others, he should not advocate that others be dominated and forcibly controlled. If one wants to be left in peace, he should leave others in peace. If one desires the freedom to run his own life, he should allow others the freedom to do likewise. To put it bluntly, advocating aggression against others, including via any form of “government,” is utterly incompatible with being a charitable, considerate, compassionate, kind, decent, loving human being. And the only reason so many otherwise good people continue to advocate widespread constant aggression via “government” is because they have been duped into accepting the lie that there is a creature called “authority” that is not bound by the moral standards that apply to human beings." -Larken Rose
