Because the organisers have invested time and money into the organising of Porcfest, the organisers. Sort of like a club who have a cover charge. Or a concert or party in a rented venue. You are stealing the services provided to make the party or entertainment happen. The fee is part of the deal. It was agreed to beforehand. Sovereign Curtis and the other organisers held up their end forthright and honest, a freedom loving person would suggest the participants show the same respect. In other words anybody that showed up and claimed fraud that there was a fee would be a liar. Anyone who sneaked in would be a thief. They mention the fee up front in every add.
Dude...read this back to yourself. This smells of collectivist "social contract" bullshit.
If you Voluntarily come to my house I will have to charge you 50 cents in silver per day to cover costs. Please note this before you fly all the way over here.
Your house, your rules. Nevertheless, it would be unlikely for me to enter the home of someone so petty.
If I made the deal beforehand and above board how is this collectivist? If I tricked you into coming then charged you something, that would be fraud.
In other words, because they are fairly fucking clear that there is a fucking fee for those that voluntarily go to the fucking festable it is free market. I can not for the life of me see how a fucking above board voluntary exchange is collectivist at all.
What makes it collectivist is your attachment of "we" and "us" to Roger's property. Capiche? Any
individual who doesn't want someone on his rented site, could eject that person, but
you don't get to put on a collectivist hat and make that decision for everyone else. "They," and "we" don't get to make rules for individuals--not unless they rent out all of Roger's. Your insistence that "they" do makes you a collectivist. The distinction is where you collectivist pricks decide for everyone else, who pays his way, what
his rules are.
Collectivism is forcing people to pay for things they don't choose for themselves.
You have simply chosen a narrow view of collectivism here that only applies to forcing people to pay for things. Last I checked, force on the part of the FSP was not discussed. Accusations of "theft" and "fraud" toward "freeloaders" were.
what their rules are --> what his rules are,
clarifications...
