It is, in fact, a fundamental building block of human development. So long as we call things by false names, we maintain our own confusion and contribute to our own abuse.<\/p>\n<p>So, today I want to examine several instances of calling things by false names and to define true names for them.<\/p>\n<p>True Name #1: \u201cBecause violent people say so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all heard young people ask why certain things must be done. And we are all familiar with responses like \u201cbecause it\u2019s the law\u201d or \u201cbecause that\u2019s how society works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those phrases, however, are untrue. The honest answer to such questions is \u201cbecause violent people demand it.\u201d Almost no one pays taxes willingly; they pay because they\u2019ll be punished if they do not comply, ultimately including armed men and jail cells. The same goes for every state order, from building permits to stop signs: Comply or face punishments, ending in violence.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is not that we do things because of laws or even because of convention; we do them because the users of violence order them and stand ready to hurt us if we don\u2019t comply.<\/p>\n<p>For actions we take voluntarily, difficult and misleading answers are not required. We usually answer questions about those things easily and honestly. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lewrockwell.com\/2016\/07\/paul-rosenberg\/calling-things-real-names\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read Entire Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By Paul Rosenberg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LewRockwell.com | The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their true names.
