Defenders of capitalism who condescendingly bloviate about how nobody understands economics except them are always shockingly ignorant about the ideological positions they attack, and have almost universally done zero reading of any Marxian economists.

I don't defend capitalism, but I also don't aspire to socialism. Neither are sustainable.

Voluntaryism is the natural state of man. Your spectrum has Shit at both ends.

It’s a shame this thread degenerated to abuse because you all make good points.

I disagree, and I’m also not someone who’s easily fooled by the false veneer of civility and optics. You sound very pretentious btw.

Like one of those people who says shit like “as soon as you cursed you lost the argument.”

A lot of people think that the most important part of a discussion is being “respectful” (fake) as opposed to the actual point that someones trying to make. Same thing with grammar.

If semantics are more important to you than the actual point that’s being made, stop pretending like your opinion is based on anything important. It’s not, and I want you to be aware of that.

I'm seeing a pattern here, Han. It seems anyone who thinks differently than you is a Moron. And, Aunty is correct. Both Jamenta and you went right into attack mode while not bringing any helpful information to the debate. Just for your cunt remark, I shall block you as well. You have shown yourself as a bore.

Cooperation, collaboration is innate to man - and is what makes a civilized, free society thrive. In Unity, Strength.

That is Exactly what Voluntaryism is.

"In Unity, Strength" Is a famous Marine motto. When you're in the Marines, you can't voluntarily do whatever the fuck you want. The Marines collaborate in order to achieve a common goal.

Replacing government with just voluntaryism is a load of shit. We all know that.

You obviously have no clue about what voluntaryism is. Nowhere does Voluntaryism propose "You can do whatever the fuck you want." Educate yourself before you shoot your mouth off. And.. The Marines are a Huge load of Shit... If we have to go to ad hominem attacks right from the gitgo.

You’re way too condescending and disrespectful for someone who’s as confident in your ignorance as you are.

Well, property is a social relationship, so in a sense it's never private.
