alexqr1 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I may be reinventing the wheel with this one. I don't think there are many original claims or arguments but I do think this video is a good addition to my channel. What do you think?
y2k1 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I am a minarchist because it's not enough to say "i dont know what it will look like in a stateless society" or that we may not need roads. If you go for a revolution, you need to have a very in depth blue print. Also the private security force is historically proven to be a bad idea.
dsayers Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Also the private security force is historically proven to be a bad idea. On what basis? I work armed private security. My job is to act on behalf of the owner when the owner isn't around. Since they own the property in question, they can morally delegate rights to that property as they see fit. In regards to your first point, you didn't finish the sentence. "I don't know what it will look like in a stateless society, but I know theft, assault, rape, and murder are immoral." The full sentence actually pre-empts minarchism. One point made in the video is that it's inconsistent to say violence is wrong AND we need a little bit of it. ESPECIALLY when you consider that your average minarchist says we need a little bit of violence out of consideration for violence.
Alan C. Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 "I don't know how problem 'X' would be solved without force. Therefore, I get to use force." is unsound reasoning.

If you go for a revolution, you need to have a very in depth blue print.I certainly do not need a very in depth blue print in order point out that people are stealing from me and even claiming partial ownership over me.Did the slaves need a very in depth blue print to point out that slavery was immoral? Also te private security force is historically proven to be a bad idea.Well this is interesting, care to present any example?Besides, would you not say that state "security" has proven to be a bad idea?
