Xerographica Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Some people still haven't gotten the memo... The Demand For Coercion.
ProfessionalTeabagger Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I don't know what wtf you're talking about.
Alan C. Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 "There are two roads that people can take to reach anarcho-capitalism. People can take the economic road...or they can take the moral road." Economics and morality are not mutually exclusive. Anarcho-capitalism is a fusion of the social philosophy of individualist anarchism (morality) with the capitalistic order of production (economics) .
dsayers Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Economics and morality are not mutually exclusive. Anarcho-capitalism is a fusion of the social philosophy of individualist anarchism (morality) with the capitalistic order of production (economics) . I'll take it back one step further: Both stem from self-ownership. If we own ourselves, then our body, time, and effort are our capital and every decision we make is a capitalistic one. If everybody owns themselves, then you cannot have a State by any name/system as it is predicated on different classes of human ownership. The "demand for coercion" is an effect of coercion. It's a circular claim.
Phuein Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I'm going to ignore the blog, as I find myself not relating to the content, and address the idea of a "demand for coercion." It is an impossibility. An oxymoron. Being coerced, means that you have no choice in the matter. Having demand, while having no choice, is meaningless. It's equal to being "horny for rape." Worse, to say such an oxymoron is to misunderstand the ideas of demand and coercion. Only ignorance mixed with apathy could create such a linguistic fallacy.
