  • Re: Conversation with some "Mutualists"

    Mutualism debunked in few sentences: Woman (or at least her womb) is means of production: man is a worker who does all the job to produce a baby and a woman can just lay still and do nothing. So clearly, she is "means of production". Now question: does men OWN women by this logic? Just because they worked hard and planted a seed? Seriously

  • Re: The Crime of Poverty

    "Your position is apparently that only what is produced by human activity can be owned (i.e. considered property). My position is that what is produced by nature can also be owned." Humans do NOT produce anything, they are just re-arranging the matter of the nature. That's all the magic there is. If dsyddall is right, then no on can own

  • Re: Retribution vs. Self defense

    Yes, maybe you are right, but that's a problematic issue, because you'll still have to bear the consequences if the judge or whatever that will be in Libertopia decides that you used too "inappropriate force". I mean, you are responsible for your actions and to mindlessly shoot a criminal just because you thought there is no other

  • Re: Morality vs. legality of child neglect

    Rothbard is using "morality" in such a way I use "ethics", that is, "ethics are prefered", but "morality is universal and objective".

  • Re: Retribution vs. Self defense

    [quote user="Eugene"] you have the right to shoot him in order to stop him. [/quote] only looney anarchists believe in this. You don't have such right at all (not mentioning that rights are just principles of peaceful social interaction). If someone is stealing, you are only allowed to use force to stop them. Killing could be justified

  • Re: If increased mechanization doesn't cause unemployment

    I would kindly disagree with Daniel on this one. My belief is that one must do what he likes the most to do and share his "hobby" it with other people (that's why sitting on the sofa all day and playing video games is not a proper "hobby"), that is a perfect kind of job. That's what I do part time (and part time I work so

  • Re: Taking the NAP Too Far.

    You're dad is just lost in performative contradiction. He doesn't believe what he says because if he would, the logical conclusion would be simple starving to death. So yeah...introduce him to logic first, then Argumentation Ethics.
