What is it with Anarchists?

Ironically, the anarchists, the most tuned-in to this philosophically, have a dangerous blind spot on this one

I have become particularly interested more recently in why it is that anarchists are so reluctant to take a closer look at the Constitution. Why would that be?

The most obvious reason, I suspect, is that whilst still not having an awareness of the central mechanism of Jury Independence and thus self-governance, they see the Constitution (as do many in the Freedom movement more generally) as ‘old-hat’ or associated with our corrupt collectivist governing system in place currently.

Many automatically see a tired, ageing, tried and tested and flawed governing system that is hostile to the liberties and best interests of the people themselves. And yes, that is indeed what it has become - but what they misunderstand is that it has only become that through an exhaustive, tireless campaign on the part of collectivists of misdirection and obfuscation of the purity of the Constitution itself.

They misunderstand that a Common Law Constitution when truly understood brings about an anarchic-like life for the population because it requires the people to take responsibility and govern themselves: essentially to become their own self-masters.

Anarchists are rightly distrustful of anything related to government, and this is why I, personally, have been drawn to them, because I hold the same concerns and understandings that they do. I have spent many years listening to people such as Mark Passio and Larken Rose - to whom I am eternally grateful incidentally, as they have clarified for so many these important underlying principles.

Anarchists really understand more deeply the required ideology of voluntarism and individualism. They understand the principle that ‘my rights end where yours begin’. For that reason, they correctly extrapolate the fact that you cannot have a state. They understand that Government authority is an illegitimate concept and therefore they believe that anything ‘Constitutional’ is breaking those principles because they assume that it upholds the condition of a state. BUT (and here’s the key), not all Constitutions create the condition of government. This one (the English/British Common Law Constitution) goes further because it disempowers the state government entirely by placing the people at all times as the supreme authority of law. It properly subjugates the machinery of government under the authority of the people through the Jury - that Natural Law Tribunal. It’s brilliant - and they (the anarchists) have missed this completely.

Under a Common Law Constitution, dispute resolution and criminal investigation is going on in a ‘shared space’ or publicly-owned forum. This is the only way that it can ever happen in any community of human beings. When there is a disagreement between parties or some harm has been committed, it is natural to turn to the consciences of others in the community - there is no other party to which you can turn. The key for Anarchists to understand is that under a Common Law Constitution, when functioning correctly and authentically, the courts are owned by the people and the people are the judges themselves. This means that the people are governing themselves. Come on Anarchists, what more could you possibly want?

The Head of [‘State’], in this context, is really nothing more than the Head of ‘the Administration’. His role is to support and uphold these principles that the people rule themselves and the administrative ‘government’ is not really a government at all.

I’m not trying to score points here, because we all have blind spots, but ironically, the anarchists, the most tuned-in to this philosophically, have a dangerous blind spot on this one. Because of the concealed elements of the Common Law Constitution, specifically, Jury Supremacy and Independence, they have made a dangerous assumption and overlooked perhaps the most important liberty-protecting, anarchic-like, self-governing arrangement that has ever existed.
