#HotTake:
Liberalism is a syncretic religion where the highest deity is the State and all other deities are subject to it. Liberalism asserts this distinction by classifying political systems as deriving from "natural law" and religions as faith systems. Classical liberalism divided the world into "primitive" beliefs and "enlightened" beliefs. Atheistic anarchism aligns with this distinction by opposing the state and capitalism through logic, rather than asserting that the state and capitalism are themselves systems of faith. Atheistic anarchism further reinforces the narrative of the liberal state by aligning with the liberal understanding of religion as a "primitive" institution.
Graeber et al pointed out the connections between property rights as a form of fedishism (magic) and the evolution of currency, debt, taxes, and the state from temples.

Dewalt garden watering tools like hoses & nozzles & sprinklers (safe to get rained on all weekend) should not be colour coded the same as power tools (NOT).
