RE: BRUTALLY HONEST: You are free to believe whatever you want, that doesn't mean I'll agree with it and that I won't analyze it, agree with it, criticize it, or eviscerate it...
I must clarify that I am not an anarchist, I am quite a libertarian, but every time I read it I am closer to his position. The State is really inefficient in almost all its roles, except maybe the collection of tax, in that if they are strange and surprisingly effective.
I think many people refuse to turn their back on the state simply because they do not care, many do not want to know anything about politics and want to focus only on their work and their personal lives, they believe that if they do not read or talk about politics it will simply disappear. But they do not know the greater harm that is causing them to be ignorant politicians.
Yeah. I don't care if people are an anarchist or not (the true meaning not the hijacked vilified meaning). Since all Anarchy really means is NO RULERS. No humans being able to force rules upon other humans. That's it. That is all it means. The directions people choose to take it from there depends upon their agenda.
Though I don't believe the world is ready for Anarchy I do think in the distant future that Anarcho-Capitalism is a beautiful idea. Whether it will work or not we are not in a position to test. We would need a world where most of the population was skilled at critical thinking. That doesn't exist at this time, so it would be doomed to fail as most ideas are doomed to fail.
I began more as a Libertarian and I see that as the best path in the current environment. Anarcho-Capitalism is more the utopian experiment I'd like to see the world be able to Try out when the people are capable of thinking for themselves and interacting with people reasonably that they disagree with.
That's why I'm a Libertarian.
Completely agree.
Anarcho, yes, Capitalist, no.
Here's the definition of Capital:
And here is the definition of Capitalism:
So a capitalist is someone who controls capital through ownership. Excuse me, but that sort of aggression impinges on my freedom.
Humans are certainly not resources, and even resources are not resources to be exploited. All that stuff is here for me to use. For those of you who believe in basic human rights, that's the primary right. Nobody has a right to control what I need to survive, especially for profit.
In that sense Anarcho-Capitalism is an oxymoron.
