    What does this forum mean by libertarian?

    Right from your precious Wikipedia: "Collectivist anarchism, also known as anarcho-collectivism, is a 19th century anarchist doctrine that advocated the abolition of the state and private ownership of the means of production, with the means of production instead being owned collectively and...

    the conceal handgun thread

    I don't think the government should have any say whether or not we are allowed to own, carry, or conceal firearms.

    What does this forum mean by libertarian?

    They both want a stateless, classless society where the means of production are owned by everyone. They want the same things. What don't you understand about that? They aren't much different. Read my above post. They both want the same ends, they just disagree on the means. What...

    What does this forum mean by libertarian?

    Collectivist-anarchy and communism are the same exact thing. A stateless, classless society where the means of production are owned by everyone. Decisions will be made by everyone, implying that direct democracy will be the vehicle for decision making. If all you can do is tell me I know...

    What does this forum mean by libertarian?

    Anarchy rejects the state and coercion. Both of which are present in collectivist-anarchy. The only system that ensures freedom is free markets coupled with anarchy. No, it doesn't. The state is actually destroying capitalism. Anarchy is the absence of coercion. That state is a coercive...

    They haven't seen the light? ;) I wonder why, too.

    What does this forum mean by libertarian?

    I never did. Yes, they are. Individualist anarchists, if you will. How can you claim to be an anarchist and then tell me that the state is what keeps our society functioning? You make no sense. The state is the whole reason we have such a terrible situation today. Collectivism will only...

    What can we learn from Fascism?

    Because of competition. Sure, for a very small minority allied with the government. No, they are not. It may be a natural tendency for companies to want to use government to create a monopoly for their gain. I would like anyone to show me an example where a monopoly was formed purely in...

    Death of Christmas Trees

    There are tree farms whose sole purpose is to grow trees for Christmas. Trees don't have life just as imporant and valuable as our own. They are valuable though. Be it for their beauty, their usefullness in making furniture or paper, decoration, or whatever. They are valued in different ways...

    What does this forum mean by libertarian?

    Libertarianism is libertarianism. Rothbard (who isn't the founder of libertarianism, by the way) rejected the state and coined anarcho-capitalism. So libertarians (atleast, the real ones) are anarchists. They reject coercion (the state) and want to enter, voluntarily, into any contracts they...

    What can we learn from Fascism?

    Nope. All monopoly's have formed because of government regulation or handouts. AT&T is a good example. Monopoly is impossible in a free market. Anti-trust laws were used against companies who were selling things cheaper, better, and at a greater quantity than their competitors. It is one of...

    The Fall of Net Neutrality

    They pay, for sure. They don't pay their fair share though. No, net neutrality gives handouts to big companies like Google, Yahoo, and Amazon. Of course bailing out companies shouldn't be tolerated. I don't understand how that relates to this. The ISP you work for could grow much faster if...

    What can we learn from Fascism?

    Yes, that's one form. Monopoly's only arise when government regulates and intervenes in the economy.

    Yes or no. You don't have a choice to not pay, anyway.

    Convert or Die Christian video game

    Actually, you don't kill people that don't convert to Christianity in this game. Actually, you don't convert anyone in this game - the game doesn't even have the word convert in it. Actually, Christianity isn't even named in this game. In fact, when your character uses physical violence in...

    The Fall of Net Neutrality

    No, it's big companies (like Google) who want to avoid paying the massive cost it takes to deploy the networks necessary for tomorrow's internet. It's going to hinder the greatest technological advance in centuries. Especially for people living in rural areas where they need investment in...

    The Fall of Net Neutrality

    Is bandwidth a scarce good? Yes. Does someone have to produce it? Yes. To call for price fixing is to call for its inevitable result: Bandwidth shortages and no incentive to improve connection speed and bandwidth because competition will not exist under a fixed price system.

    What can we learn from Fascism?

    Yes. To go even further corporations are "allowed" to form with permission from the government. Corporations pay off politicians and pressure them into passing laws that benefit them at the expense of the tax payers and other businesses. Regulations are a good example. They are put into...
