Guess I would be an extremist as I have read both and The Lord of the Rings several times. So perhaps I am an extremist several times over!!! Linking today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

So, in other words, anything that the UK Government doesn't like can be considered supporting "terrorism." They're laying out a dangerous blueprint that other powerful governments of the world will inevitably latch onto if they haven't already done so to some extent.

Great article, but I have one disagreement. If by government you mean the coercive political governments of the world, government is NOT a necessary evil. It is an evil that could be replaced by voluntary consensual governance as a service. Representative democracy may be less evil than absolute monarchy or dictatorship, but that doesn't make it necessary.

We disagree on this point. That's ok. I'm a minarchist, not an anarchist. A lot of people I know are anarchists. They have some good points, but I'm more like the Founding Fathers on this point.

Agreed 1,000 percent. One of my favorite books to refer readers to is Chaos Theory by Dr. Robert Murphy, which provides an excellent outline on how to build a society free from any kind of government overreach.

I think the translation of "right wing extremism" is "anyone who isn't immediately obedient to our will"

Aldous Huxley and George Orwell would have been fascinated to discover that they were extreme right wingers! You’d have to be a complete cretin to even imagine that.

Whatever labels they use to demonise the public, it’s now meaningless! Even if anything they say in future is true, we won’t be listening! The boy who cried wolf!
