THIS ORGANIZATION IS IN DISORGANIZATION
COPYRIGHT 2010 by Sam A. Robrin or whoever the hell it is who writes these things. Go ahead and use it, but if you make a little money on it, I want some!

Free State freedom activists look pompously askance
At anyone suggesting planning projects in advance.
Protests limp along not with a bang, but with the whimp’r of
A group of high school kids making impromptu tries at improv.

Headaches, itching, nosebleeds, palpitations, sweats, and trembling
Are side effects of any course of action but assembling
Slapdashedly together at the last remaining minute.
It’s messy, muddled madness with no trace of method in it.

Many activists are known to faint or throw up
At the proffer of polite entreaties to show up.
One fact’s irrefutable from careful observation:
This organization is in disorganization!

Freedom-lovers focus on life’s joys and how to get them –
Not in crafting tactics to persuade the State to let them.
Dealing with the State’s inane — sane folks don’t manage well with it,
The rational reaction is to simply say the hell with it.

Running through the Project is a much-debated schism:
Can cooperation coexist with individualism?
The proof of all this putting-down is evidenced in that all
Our goals are not achieved efficiently — if at all.

“Organized” has earned itself a blot over time –
Look at organized religion, labor, or crime.
Regardless of the word’s haphazard application,
This organization is in disorganization!

When the planning procedure proves positively to be a little rickety,
The slightest critique or suggestion is perceived as too persnickety.
No matter the merit or clear intent, the speaker’s dunned for an apology
For willfully trying to force on the group such an outlandish methodology.

The attitude here is that activism’s entirely up to you:
Do it yourself — including the stuff we told you we would do.
When unrehearsed events go Flop!, we say, “Oh what a shame,”
And slam the organizer with a metric ton of blame.

IRS, NSA, FBI, CIA,
FCC, BATF, and USDA,
DHS, EPA, DEA, DOE,
DOD or -J or -E or -L, -S, -I, -C,

OSHA, FEMA, NASA, HUD, the FDIC,
FTC, SEC, TSA, DMV,
Bureaus, agencies, police departments, and courts –
The competition has organization, of sorts!

As that (very small) sampling above indicates,
Our planning doesn’t measure up to that of the State’s.
One thing we must clean up before we sweep the nation:
The disorganization that’s in this organization!

Those who want to prove me wrong will have a terrific chance to do so this weekend. I’ll be very disappointed if they don’t disappoint me!

sorry to disappoint you but than i believe we all receive what we are looking for; one thing you will not find in an orginization is perfection that reality is and can only exist in a perfect world which for sure we have – not!
As the individual you are do your best and let the rest do their best, realizing the organism is far greater than the organization. And only the cause which is good will survive the test of time.

Some, perhaps many, in the Liberty movement have an almost allergic reaction to anything vaguely resembling “being told what to do”. This is sensible with regards to an authoritarian state that seizes property, imprisons, etc. It’s pretty lame when it equates to failing to cooperate minimally towards common goals. I’d go so far as to call it childish and naive. Cooperation and team work is essential to affecting any change. Consider the militias during the revolutionary war. They were pretty worthless until they got some discipline and (gasp) organization. If they had failed to cooperate amongst themselves and ultimately with the Continental army towards common goals, the British Empire would have brought its colonies to heel and that have been that. The world we want is not going to just fall in our laps out of the heavens.

The plan is to not have a plan, and see what happens.

Ben,

Why aren’t you organizing people, if that’s what you think needs to be done? After all:

“The world *you* want is not going to just fall in *your* lap out of the heavens.”

Too frequently, the plan is to goof off and pretend it has ideological underpinnings. The fact that this crowd has an endemic, predictable failure to grasp so simple a concept as “Do as you agreed to do” indicates that it’s headed for failure.

@THINKLIBERTY

You know, it’s actually possible for more than one person to agree on a desirable objective, then agree to pool efforts for greater probability of achieving that objective. There is no coercion here. Do as you please. Just don’t be surprised if others who group to their ends get what *they* want and *you* don’t. As for me, I give to those running for office who will work to achieve something of tangible value to *me* and *others* like fewer less intrusive laws, lower taxes, etc.
