Where Can We Run To? – Questions For Corbett #072

ChaosNavigator says:

Some notes from 2016: ‘People in the Hunza region very often turn 100 years old, and men have children all the way up to the age of 90. But the most amazing thing about the Hunza people is the fact that diseases are virtually non-existent. Cancer, heart disease, high and low blood pressure as well as childhood diseases almost do not exist. There are also no prisons, police or military in the area because there is no need for them. While the rest of the civilized world cares about nuclear threats and other things, people in the remote region of Pakistan live in peace, harmony and brotherly love. As a final fact, it should be noted that no crime has been recorded in the region for 130 year.

I would argue that this can be reproduced anywhere.

. “Until shortly before the common era,the very last 1 percent of human history, the social landscape consisted of elementary self-governing kinship units that might, occasionally, cooperate in hunting, feasting, skirmishing, trading, and peacemaking. It did not contain anything one could call a state. In other words, living in the absence of state structures has been the standard human condition.” [….] ..Scott argues, we find ourselves today with a “huge literature on state-making, contemporary and historic, [that] pays virtually no attention to its reverse: the history of deliberate and reactive statelessness. This is the history of those who got away.” ….”it appears that much, if not most, of the population of the early states was unfree; they were subjects under duress.” And “it was very common for state subjects to run away.” For “living within the state meant, virtually by definition, taxes, conscription, corvée labor” — that is, forced, unpaid, short-term labor, such as being required to work a day or two unpaid on a road-repair crew — “and, for most, a condition of servitude.”

The Zomia civilization are runaway, fugitive, maroon communities who have, over the course of two millennia, been fleeing the oppressions of state-making projects in the valleys — slavery, conscription, taxes, corvée labor, epidemics, and warfare.

Most of Homo Sapiens today have been macro-conditioned to servitude, to accept their servitude and the ‘inevitability’ of the state as a necessary ‘safe’ space. Scott says that Zomia is the biggest remaining area of Earth whose inhabitants have not been completely absorbed by nation-states, although that time is coming to an end (swallowed up by the expanding powers of the techno-feudalist ‘civilization’).BTW; the concept ‘mind control’ is etymologically close to Govern (control) + Ment (mind) – the current track of civilization is in reality an increasingly intolerable prison planet made possible through state structures (currently on its way to global government).

Escapees (before the final breakdown of modern civilization) will nonetheless find hope (through Scott’s evidence fx), that it’s possible to make ‘Exodus’ emigrations from the failed western states and create communities without rule in ‘Zomia’-like groups in the post-post-modern age, and especially before the NWO and Hunger Games society in USA and EU become even more crazy draconian and obvious for all to see. The last groups might have to endure a Sovjet-like horror Hunger Games regime of the NWO, before that breaks down also….
