RE: That's Anarchy.
Really? Try to trade
/start your own currency and/or market outside of state regulation. Choose to trade your money as you please and not be extorted by taxation. Then you’ll see how “free to trade” you really are.
And if you wanna bring things to the next level conversationally, intellectual honesty is a must.
Imagine we’re playing a game of pool or something so it doesn’t get too emotional. You are not the only person living in the reality you just described. You and everybody else. What I said in the first place is that institutions of power are what anarchy seeks to circumvent. But capitalism is an institution of power, the same as socialism or any other. What’s the difference between an anarchist-capitalist/volantaryist and a capitalist? And what do you mean about intellectual honesty?
The difference? Easy. Ancap property ethic supports and honors the reality of individual self-ownership. Statist, crony capitalists do not.
Intellectual honesty. In reference to your assumption that my main concern is with the freedom to trade as opposed to other freedoms.
You didn’t really reply though. Are you free to trade in any market you like, and create your own currency, without state approval? Are you free to not be extorted via taxation? Of course you’re not.
What other freedoms are you concerned with besides trade?
You’re stating the obvious about laws and I have to agree. No, I’m not free to do anything I feel like under the law.
Steemin for pennies, now that’s freedom. Liberation!
🤦♂️
I tried.
Good try 👍
