Taoist Government
    #7240862 -

What do you think a government run by a bunch of true Taoist sages would look like...? Note- Not people just acting like Taoist sages for power, but real believers.

In ancient China?

In the modern day?

Are Taoist anarchist?

the only candidate I know was living in a small nature oriented village until his government came in and took their land so....

Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

It would be extreme libertarianism, though not necessarily anarchy. In Taoism, rulers and nations do defend themselves militarily, though with mourning that it had to come to violence. They would not have arrogance or bloodlust like modern governments, however.

To those who would help
The ruler of men
By means of the Way:

Let him not with his militant might
Try to conquer the world;
This tactic is like to recoil.
For where armies have marched,
There do briars spring up;
Where great hosts are impressed,
Years of hunger and evil ensue.

The good man's purpose once attained,
He stops at that;
He will not press for victory.
His point once made, he does not boast,
Or celebrate the goal he gained,
Or proudly indicate the spoils.
He won the day because he must:
But not by force or violence.

That things with age decline in strength,
You well may say, suits not the Way;
And not to suit the Way is early death.


--------------------
So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.
