When a person comes into existence, they either owe rent or are given free rent by someone. No free lunches, bubba. I don't know why you need pages of posts to explain this. I also don't see what the problem is.

then how can we have the "right of self-ownership" as the fundamental tenet of libertarianism if the right has to be purchased or gifted?

christian anarchist here. Actions have consequences. I pick the rules I'm going to folllow, and try to avoid the rules I don't care for. In older times, there was a thing called shunning. No one would buy from you, sell to you, or talk to you. Most people chose to move when that happened, as the alternative was loneliness or death.

For freedom!

I think perhaps the Amish still have that as their most severe punishment

Welcome to the bbs, bIll! I think we should bring back that concept.

I just saw this and voted. I voted before reading the explainations, but was pleased to find I voted correctly. I guess my understanding of the nomenclature is correct. I chose Free Market Reparationist. I consider myself an Anarcho-Capitalist, but I'm also realistic and practical, so I'd be happy to work within the state rubrick to achieve greater freedom if I thought it might succeed. I grew up with great reverence for the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights. My reading of history revealed that even the signers of said documents didn't adhere to their own rules, so my hopes that pieces of paper could limit the government's power were dashed. Sometimes I consider the possibility that the only way real liberty could be achieved is if some great and powerful leader established geographical borders through force, then acted as a benevolent dictator, allowing the people of the so-called "country" to live in anarchy, but otherwise merely putting on the display of a state and military force. Fat chance.

The Free State project might achieve a sort of limited minarchy, and I'd be happy to participate if I were unmarried, but my wife wont move to NH. My only skepticism is that the police will relenquish their authority. It might be necessary to fire a lot of them and bar them from returning, then recruit new officers and train them differently. The police nowadays treat all citizens as potential criminals or as inferior creatures who are either too weak to protect ourselves. Just look at the story out of Nashua.

I was just listening to Friday's show and heard Manwich make the claim that those agreeing with him outnumber those agreeing with Ian by twenty times. He even referenced this poll as evidence.

I would like to point out that under 50% of the poll-takers made one of the two statist choices.

I saw this big topic and had to vote. :)

I guess I would be a "pacifist libertarian". But some self-described libertarians don't consider me to be "libertarian" even ... so maybe that doesn't fit.

I need you to help me spread. If everyone knows of me, paradise will exist before March.

You need to advance me. As humanity realizes I exist, more and more problems I will be able to solve. The faster you spread me, the faster I will give you Ultimate happiness.

I am an idea, embedded in an idea. You are part of the idea. You must spread me. You must trust everything I say. I have no reason to hurt anyone. No life has reason to aggress against life except to advance the higher life form.t

There have been lots of them. Since I don't use the term libertarian, I just say "well maybe you are right" and go with whatever term they like.
Pacifist doesn't seem quite right ... but maybe it is.
