I would definitely like to see an Austrian refutation of the "Anarchist FAQ" since I'm not really very expert in economics.  In the meantime I'm going to start reading some Austrian economics and possibly even some of the works of socialists (it's good to know the enemy, even if you disagree with them).

Nielsio-

That video was hilarious, but this one I thought was dumb

Succes of what? -> It's subjective. And this is why we should allow children to make their own choices as early as possible.

Well, doing 'conventional' schooling at home doesn't make much sense; and that is what I imagine a lot of people are trying to do. They don't see that the problem is with ordering children what to learn.

I see what you're saying, but I'm not sure that's what the maker of that video was trying to say. I think they were trying to say that stupid parents can't teach because they're not "real teachers" and therefore homeschooling in general is a terrible idea.

Funny, but how is that a refutation of the Anarchist FAQ?  Other than pointing out the calculation and incentive problems?

"Here you go:"

Someone really needs to re-up in HD that WKUK Anarchy video... alternatively make the lips sync. (Rightio, guess I'll have to do it >.>)
