Sorry for the delay @sylph. Been rebuilding my home and only got back on steem today. firstly a child is a consequence of a parents actions, ergo responsibility for it exists with them logically by cause

So you think impact of natural causes for harm outweigh the aggressive ones? I say "Justify this belief." You are making a claim that aggression is somehow less impactful to societal wellbeing

We can agree to disagree on this @ekklesiagora, I just wish you could logically justify your arguments. From what I'm seeing so far, this is not the case.

What this article is also not accounting for is that the Computers often become more efficient at using electricity as processors evolve. Last year people were estimating that the Bitcoin Network used

Nice strawman @ekklesiagora. There is a big difference between involuntary servitude to the majority, and voluntary agreements between individuals. As such anarcho-capitalism is not a government. it is

The problem with that style of analytics @ekklesiagora is it doesn't identify root causes. The problems you see on the surface are symptoms of a separate cause, which often has an underlying cause beneath

@wolvoman80 - there are a few false premises in your theory unfortunately. The "governing body" solutions you proposed are actually quite novel, and could work with some refinement. Unfortunately

@ekklesiagora - Hello again. First off, you clearly have done a lot of research on what other people have spoken about regarding anarchy. However, the claims made by yourself, either via citation or your

Follow up - I read your "rebuttal" to the NAP and found it incredibly flawed @ekklesiagora. It wasn't very original, nor was it remotely logical. It was at best a critique of Rothbard's logic

I just go with "voluntaryist". its so much easier that way.....

I wont convince you of that @dullhawk. There is no obligation for anyone to set themselves on fire to keep others warm.

Congrats for convincing your dad @careywedler, and for understanding that anarchy is preferable to living under the subjective reality of those in charge of the state. I recently managed to do the same

Welcome to the community @antimedia. Long time follower of your content as an independent media provider. I look forward to the benefit you can bring this community.

@steampunk-penny I'm not claiming that trans people have no right to exist, or are incapable of understanding, or are somehow inhuman/subhuman. Far from it. I consider the community as equal as any other

@ekklesiagora - First off, I would recommend not classifying the position of any group based on specific philosophers. They helped generate the position, but they did not necessarily refine it, nor do

@ekklesiagora thanks again for the added feedback. Id argue socialism is a bit of a sliding scale these days. I consider most nation states in the west are socialist in their policies, the USA included

Thank you for your reply @ancapdude. To be frank, you are correct. If the state magically vanished tomorrow, our society would likely descend into infighting for a vast majority. People are not used to

Well reported @caitlinjohnstone. You can rely at least on this platform not to censor you, provided your content is honest and fair. Regarding this piece, it is my firm hope that the "swamp"

@lesliestarrohara & @infidel1258 make excellent points. We are one of the most technologically advanced societies on the planet. So why are we focusing our infrastructure needs around land based transport

Although painful to view and read, such investigative journalism is a necessity. We cannot rely on the state to care for children, nor should we either. It is a horribly incompetent entity, which is now
