Touched a nerve, have I?

Kidding, kidding (mostly), but a serious follow-up regarding the "anti-propertarian left": have you ever heard the self-ownership denial argument? One particular version, espoused by the DOJ no less, is "taxation is not theft because money is not your property." Federal Reserve technicalities aside, we need to come up with some better philosophical arguments, because Mises no longer has the final word on these matters on account of statist thinkers working overtime recently. If you can recall, I directed you to a hilarious strawman of libertarianism about a year ago, and while that guy took the coward's way out and disabled comments on his entire website, more like him have popped up. They are smart enough to see past the false dichotomy of American partisan politics, and label libertarians explicitly as "an even greater existential threat than MAGA."

Mate, these people are huge fans of Mill, and they are afraid of us. The hell is going on?
