Public Polices/Public Service/Public System

Burglaries happen. It is an everyday phenomenon. It happens somewhere at someone’s house everyday. Cash, Jewelry, Laptops, paintings, LCD TVs, antiques and other valuables get burgled. At times burglary happens in the dead of night, sometimes in broad daylight. Occasionally people get killed trying to protect what is really theirs.


We get revolted by this act of burglary. We find it difficult to comprehend, how these burglars could bring themselves to break into other peoples home and take away what did not belong to them. We ask, “How do they dare to do this? What makes them believe that they have the right to do this?”


This is a reasonable question. Why do these burglars essentially think that they have a right to do this? Maybe they know that they have no right to do this, but they do it anyway. Is it the desire for unearned things that has so much weight that they do not respect the properties of others? Perhaps they justify their act and blame society for this?

Why it is that burglars feel comfortable, taking the properties of others that they have not earned?

Drawing a similar line, the burglars are not much fundamentally different than most people in our society. Most of them take what does not belong to them. A person of the lowest order would believe that he is entitled to steal the property of other. Only the so called ‘law abiding member of the society would not accept such an act!

Let us presume that a person in the society formulates a well thought out feeling that some people do not have as much money as other people and that it would be good if they had more money than they do. A therapeutic treatment for this disease would be a proposal that we form a group of kind hearted patrons whose primary job would be to forcibly take other people’s money without their permission and give some of it to those they reckon to be in dire need. The group then would use the rest of the money (call it fund) as an entitlement, funding propaganda that tell the world what a great and marvelous job their group is doing, gradually building up a nice profitable little business empire for the staff in charge, who in turn becomes bandits, earning far beyond what they could have in other jobs, all the while being praised for their so called Public Service


Are the people fumingly mad or annoyed? Do they call the police to report this criminal racket? Do they call up their elected representative with calls/emails/blogs/tweeter and sms’ demanding that this monstrous group be clamped down? No, they don’t do that. In fact the reverse transpires. People actually fall in line to lend their support for this system. They exterminate all criticism and display their emotion that they really do care for the poor and the poorest of the poor (The new term for poverty).




Given this atmosphere, it is scarcely shocking that burglars are quite comfortable and have no fear or reservation about taking properties that do not belong to them. The reason is quite similar to the vast majority of people in our society who feel that they are privileged and entitled to the properties of other – WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY OF CRIMINALS.

But one can ask how could this be possibly right? Don’t most people act in accordance with the law? Don’t they fill up tax returns? Don’t they have driver’s license? Don’t they comply with environmental regulations, tax rules, and a host of other regulations?
Generally they do. But this is compliance with legislation and not to a compliance with law. It is merely a compliance of the diktat of the people in power.


Somewhere people do not believe in natural law: That he shall pay his debt, he shall return borrowed or stolen property to its rightful owner, he shall not injure another, he shall refrain from stealing, robbery, arson, murder or any other crime against the person or the property of another person.

The vast majority of people are supportive of criminal acts.
People express surprise and shock by the mentality of the so called common criminals, not realizing that the vast majority of the members of the society feel perfectly privileged to grab the properties of others. They demand that the property be taken away through the tax system and other heinously formulated public polices, or forcibly interfere through some routinely invented regulation.
The common justification for these acts under the so called Public Policies is that this is the WILL OF THE PEOPLE which has been expressed through the elected representative

People who disagree with this system are seen as uncharitable, dangerous, ideologist, radical activist and extremist.

In this pandemonium and madness, we forget that there is some difference between the common criminal and the not so very common criminal. The burglar does his own dirty work. He acquires the LCD TVs, the Laptops, the paintings, the cash, the jewelry and other valuable not through the so called Public Service/Public Policy/ Public System. He does not recruit the local politicians and bureaucrats to steal the property of others for his own use – he saves them the trouble and goes and acquires it himself.



While doing this himself, he does not have the back up to validate his actions. He does not have a democratic process, a political authorization, an endorsement or any other mandates.


So what is the meaning of the term “we live in a society of criminals”? It simply means that the vast majority of the people in our society support criminal acts committed against others. The so called law abiding citizens support robbery, assault, trespass and sometimes even murder when these acts are disguised in the name of Public Policies. It is pathetic and preposterous when we see the society scorning the common criminals and support the mass criminality.

It is a dismal environment when one becomes conscious that some members of the public may not have even realized the correlation between coercion and Public Policy and may not be aware between the policies and action of both these burglars and the Public Policy holders


We have not learnt the fact that ordinary people routinely support robbery and other crimes committed by the state but appear horrified and appalled when they watch the same crimes being committed by the common criminals.

We fail to realize the similarity between the Public Policies of the state and the acts of the common criminal. We fail to realize that support for Public Policies is actually a support for Crime.


What does deregulation actually mean? Is decentralization of power actually the breaking down of one big criminal group or agency into lots of smaller competing criminal agencies with the objective of indulging in small and competitive criminal activities so that they escape from the clutches altogether?


Can there be an absence of socially sanctioned theft, assault or robbery?
