  • Re: National Defence? What a heck is that?

    I would only accept "nationalism of ideas", meaning, that I would defend and would like to support people whose ideas and values are similar to mine. And fyi, lithuanians, for example, hold very different ideas and values so I do not associate with them in general. Actually, most of them are more foreign to me than an asian guy in Thailand

  • Re: IP -- partial ownership of object/rent of information?

    90 percent of the arguments against IP is about morality. It violates private property, which is immoral. Enforcement also violates NAP etc.

  • Re: Non-Aggression Principle vs. State Rights

    All anarchists believing in NAP would say the same: the only transition is through education. Educate your children, they educate theirs etc. and after few generations free societies will start to emerge. And I am not dismissing a minarchist state as a transition phase, but it is very unstable system that can easily explode into new empire. Aim for

  • Re: National Defence? What a heck is that?

    A contradiction. I think in older days nationalism was a useful tool (wars between different tribes etc.) but in later ages to the modern times it would have died out in my opinion if not for the states, which keep perpetuating this myth. I may be wrong on this in a historical sense but I am sure and strongly beleive that it is stupid idea and people

    how do you know this? I believe that feeling was a simple feature of tribalism and it was always there through millenia since those tribes started calling themselves lithuanians etc. Nothing more or less. What arose was rebellion against slave masters. National feeling so to speak, again, is useful only when you want to control people around you, but

  • Re: National Defence? What a heck is that?

    [quote user="Marko"] I am not talking about Lithuanian tribes. I am talking about Lithuanian national movement and Lithuanian national awakening of the second half of the 19th century. Since Lithuanian national feeling is in fact older than Lithuanian state and since it easily survived the destruction of Lithuanian state there is reason to

    there were lithuanian tribes, yes, but I don't care how those people called themselves, we are all mixed, we all fucked with different "races", nationalities etc. so to believe that there is such thing as "nationality" is ludicrous. Nationalities are tribalism. All tribalism is collectivism and all collectivism is pretty much
