  • HELP! I'm debating a socialist on property rights!

    I am debating a communist friend of mine on property rights. I explained to him in very general terms the libertarian theory of property rights. I basically said that each individual inherently owns himself, his faculties, and his actions. Therefore, each individual has a right acquire property previously...

  • Should property rights expire?

    What are some of your best arguments to show mutualists that property rights shouldn't be lost without use? If someone uses a patch of land for farming, homesteading it as his, but doesn't use it after that, can it still be considered his? When do you considered something as abandoned, and up...

  • Property Rights, Locke, and Homesteading

    I was having a discussion with someone today, and he presented me with an interesting hypothetical: imagine that I'm a fellow castaway on a desert island. And I happen to wash up on the side of the island that has the only source of clean water. I work to clear some branches away and claim the clean...

  • Western vs Chinese education system

    I was talking to some Chinese friends today, friends with no education in economics, and asked them whether they needed planning permission from the local authorities for building on their property. They said they do, to which I responded that we also do in my country (Australia), and they were shocked...

  • Re: Rightfully Stolen Property

    No, this is not at all what it means. Look, I don't really want to keep going in circles about this. There are not specific Native Americans making claims about specific plots of land. They are making general claims about general areas. As I said (and you didn't quote this section for some reason...

  • A view on different taxes

    especially in regard to the situation in Greece. Well my opinion about taxes it that they are theft in any case, It's not a deal you may make or may not do. You live in country X the "authorities" from country X will tax you. You have no choice but comply, otherwise you will be "convinced"...

  • Let's talk about democracy

    Would you agree if I asked "We all are "democrats" ....? Do you?.. Let's see what it means. Democracy means some figures are the "majority" and can decide for all. So let's talk our "beloved" Germany as example. We have around 80 Millions men in here. Let's...

  • Request to the Economics

    It would be terrible nice to check out which country was the soundest before the GFC, during the GFC and how will recover most quickly. And especially what the Keynisiens have to show to prove their points. Here's one comment about not beeing Kynesian http://www.zerohedge.com/article/germany-defies...

  • antitrust and the rule of man

    This article by S.M. Oliva makes clear the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of antitrust law. Collusion is perfectly natural and accepted for some groups, such as NBA players, public school teachers, and manufacturing company employees. But others get sued and fined for doing essentially the same thing,...

  • terrorism in a police state

    If you haven't seen this disturbing video , and you care about police powers in a free society, it's definitely worth a watch. The story can be found in an article from Reason Magazine . Here we see the fallout of a) the war on drugs and b) the militarization of police (and one could argue that...
