"We" as in our community. The one with the problem. Seeing as, in an ancom society, you wouldn't be involved in the decisions that don't affect you, I assumed that I am one of the people deciding here. You ask me what I would do, and then accuse me of being a megalomaniac when I reject that I would do anything and insist that this

wouldn't hesitate to jump in and save him, free of charge. Offcourse you would. I think you misunderstand my question; the point is not if people in ancom or ancap would jump or not. In any society there are people who would and those who would not. The question is if it would be ethical? The point was to illustrate that, no matter what society

filc, I know very little about praxeology, but will read up more on it. I did not understand that it was such an important concept for ancap. You, however, know equally little about ancom. Concepts such as wage slavery and possession seem foreign to you, and you grossly misunderstand them. "Exchanging one object for another mutually with another

Bearchu, I oppose the state too, remember:) Also, one could argue that the reason that the state does not do this, is because it is influenced by corporations, or itself profits on it. Just because it is possible to make it, does not mean it is morally acceptable to refrain from changing the system that gives rise to the problems in question. Say you

z1235, Absurd. If it weren't for capitalist exploitation, they wouldn't be facing the "choice" to begin with. How you can defend such clear exploitation and inflicting of pain on others, and paint it up as something good, boggles the mind...

Actually, it's from the perspective of pure exchange. I know. Exchange however does not occur in an ancom society in that manner. Saying that you where stuck in a capitalist mode of thinking was wrong of me; I should have said “a market oriented way” or “an exchange oriented way”. http://struggle.ws/anarchism/writers/anarcho

filc, That was very informative. Bearchu, Apfel feels like in his society people arent subject to praxeology? Don't be absurd. What I mean is that, surely, people act differently in different context and situations? Is then not praxeology, the study of human action, dependent on the environment and context? To him, the whole idea of a mechanized

filc, Is praxeology another way of saying "human nature"? For I find few instances of it being used by others that Mises and those following his tradition. And how is the way people act not dependent on the context and environment? z1235, I usually do not respond to insults, but this time I will, if only to point out that I have given answers

ladyattis, Though I know no cs, I can tell that your reasoning is deeply within the context of a capitalist economy. I recall encountering the same issue with you on the TZM forums. How familiar are you with Marxist and/or anarchist theory? Not being a condescending dick here, just wondering. I am, and have always been, very clear on this being a ethical

ladyattis, Again, ignoring economics and philosophy for a sec, is it technically possible? Cockshott is a supporter of central planning, and I reject some of his conclusions as well (on ethical grounds, since I don't know anything about comp.sci.) Bearchu, Love to hear more on how Rothbard's foot was removed from his mouth by others. Robert
