457 Arguments Against Anarchy

[BadVoodo0]

nice video...i agree with MOSTLY everything u said like poverty for example...but again somethings i dont agree with you

[Mahoivlich]

Isn't it funny that the pampered life that the "state" helps provide, is the only place where the anarchist free market capitalists exists? Unless every state is abolished at once, any anarchist state would be at the mercy of any state that still existed. What the state/religion/ideology is great at is creating a mass of people that can be directed, and their force directed at others. Anarchy will create division, and division has been how every conquered people was defeated.

[godkingofthepunks]

There is no argument against being free !

How can you be free without Anarchy ? Do you

think that you can be free

under authority ? Without

Anarchy by definition you

would be ruled and it is obvious that to be free you cant have people rule you !

457 arguments against Liberty

@godkingofthepunks

Of course I can be free. With authority I can be free to leave my house without the fear of being mugged by every crazy asshole on the street. I can also be free to exercise my right to compensation if in fact one of those crazy assholes do attack me.

With anarchy you're free alright. Free to live in fear, not of the government, but everybody around you.

Speaking of crazy assholes, what would happen to places like asylums for the criminally insane? Oh well, no govt funds.

[wherearewegoing]

@thescarybox So... You're saying you're not scared at all of getting mugged right now? Wow, please let me know where you live so I can move there, it sounds awesome. Please ask yourself; What does create crimes? You might think of a thousand things but there is a very simple answer; LAWS. If there are no laws by definition there are no criminals, however unethical or immoral behavior can still occur which I think we should create a system where everyone defends everyones rights. Anar-Syndicalism

[wherearewegoing]

@thescarybox Mental health issues are very much connected to our society as a whole and the environment we grow up in. I.e if you're abused as a child there is a chance you might become a rapist, murderer or can't trust other people. So we must recognize that the "criminally insane" are insane for a reason. However, I would not exclude the possibility that a small small percentage of people can be born with a deficiency but then we should try to help them along so we can all prosper.

I wish I had found this channel sooner, this is exactly the kind of thing I love to listen to on YouTube. :D

[misiobear77]

If there was anarchy no body would give you a car for your talking. You are the real prove that there are so many deferent intelligences. You are great talker but poor logical thinker. Unless you are doing this stuff for the sake of talking and to prolong the shit situation of some people on this planet by giving them hope of utopian society.

[SecularNumanist]

@misiobear77

that is the most retarded argument i have ever heard in my life.

if you have children or grandchildren, murder them all and then commit suicide and prevent your genes from plaguing the world

[tantoi10man]

I really like the idea of universal ethics, I also more or less agree with your stance on Anarcho-Capitalism. My only concern with Anarchy is the issue of price fixing? This seems to be the only concern that comes to mind in terms of Anarcho-Capitalism. If you have a video that adress this issue PLEASE post a link.

I've become a big fan in the last few days. I wish you luck on all your endeavors.

[GodOfTheInternets]

I'm a social-anarchist, thus opposed to anarcho-capitalism. In a social-anarchist society price fixing would probably not occure seeing how comnpanies are then run by all of the workers and they are not 'corrupted by power and money'.

In an anarcho-capitalist society its different. Let's say there are 5 energy companies and they decide to 'price-fix' then perhaps 1 company doesn't agree and then has lower prices. Or something.

[sharperguy]

I'm afraid you failed to deliver on your promise in the title by a whopping 9140%. You only argued against 5 arguments against anarchy as opposed to 457.

Seriously though great video.

[stefbot]

haha well put!

[dowapbambutt]

are you english? you talk like your an american but youve got that accent

[TheStig000]

I think he was born in England, but he's Canadian now.

[LocustsAreSwarming]

lol

[GodOfTheInternets]

No he's Canadian (but french canadian I guess - his lastname) and now lives in Ireland, it says on his YT channel.

[TheStig000]

I said he was born in England. He doesn't live in Ireland either. Where are you getting this?

[GodOfTheInternets]

Yeah you said he was born in England that doesn't make it true -_- and I corrected you. Like I said: It says so on his YT channel.

[TheStig000]

He was born in Ireland but he has an English accent. This makes me think that he grew up with English parents. He certainly does not live in Ireland now. I know that for sure. This argument has gone past stupid though, lets drop it.

[FlashVirus]

@GodOfTheInternets

Molyneux is english. But the name originally did come from France.. but that was with the Norman invasion.

[Ryukikon]

I liked the overall video. It was long, so I don't remember all the points, I didn't jot them down as I am engaged at that time and now, but I can quick generalize some points. If we look at class warfare for example we can see that when corporations and companies become too powerful in society they acutally regress democratic progress. So that can happen for any kind of credit system or corporate meddling etc. I disagreed minorly on some points but it was great, overall direction, nice.

[Ryukikon]

To be honest Otterfeets, RedODST and the like seem to be close minded and negative individuals. Everyone can has done something to the view point of someone else that is foolish, does that not mean they don't state valid agruments or discover benifical facts. If that was the case then society wouldn't have progressed very far and if you have a role model or think very positively of men perceived by history as great then you shouldn't read their biographies. Stop being divisive.

[RedODST]

Lol I love you. Driving in your car doing, a radio show, and flipping through papers. Cons, Risking many people by doing this.

[Otterfeets]

What your doing in your car is stupid and completely unsafe, which leads me to believe whatever your talking about is about as dumb as your decision to drive like a retard. I use to wonder what the dumb asses i share the road with are like and now i can finally see them thanks to youtube

[stefbot]

I don't do this any more, if that helps.

[bigcatz4455]

Chill out man...

[NeonKnight88]

Well you could get new hobbits

:D good job

[orangestoneface]

hmm reminds me of stevie in family guy, how you talk

[bigcatz4455]

stewie*

[f44756]

WoW, that's much worse than using a cellphone and driving. I don't think having your lights on while driving is legal either.

Exact wording IS important when trying to convey unfamiliar ideas. That is why most politicians don't need to be exact, but philosophers and thinkers do.

[invisiblecage]

My best rational arguments tend not to surface in youtube comments... but just to take a stab at it... Under a free market type of anarchy how would the property rights which are the entire basis of capitalism be enforced? If I'm poor and you're rich and I want to take all of your stuff, who's going to stop me? If the answer is private security firms, then what is to prevent these firms from being used abusively?

[stefbot]

Excellent questions of course, I take my stab at answering them in my podcasts, on my web site, try the first few if you like at freedomainradio*com

[invisiblecage]

Heh... sorry about my first comment. I have a bad habit of watching 5 minutes of a video, anticipating what it is going to be about. Anyway, I'm more of a left wing anarchist but I appreciated the video anyway.

[invisiblecage]

MARKET anarchy is very stupid...

[stefbot]

Really? Where would you place it relative to, say, someone who though the word 'stupid' was a rational argument?

[bassandit]

I was, at the time, going through the "atheism"-tagged videos and downrating the ones that weren't relevant, with the intent of making them fall toward the bottom so more relevant videos were more accessible. I'm not sure I understood the sorting algorithm (or that I do now) but it was a good faith attempt at improving this site.

Probably better to have simply left the comment.

[bassandit]

wow, what?

[phillipmcgarry]

i got to seven minutes and didn't feel like watching the remaining 34 min. i think his point is that you are unread in anarchist literature. bakunin, proudhoun, emma goldman, among others. the struggle against tyrannical governments was largley over by the time anarchism came about. the struggle of anarchism comes at and after the industrial revolution when it becomes the capitalists who become the authority, and they remain so to this day, using governments as their puppets.

[stefbot]

Sorry you didn't get more out of it - thanks for giving the video a shot!

[phillipmcgarry]

i'll try to watch more of your others.

[stefbot]

Try the 'intro to philosophy' series if you like...

[MetaMorphy]

Aristotle has a great passage in the Metaphysics about this. 1057d, using Becker numbers, I think.

[justinYOFACE]

"I just happen to think their feelings are directed at an imaginary Sky Fairy."

lmfao

[bassandit]

bad tags. this has nothing to do with atheism. you get one star.

[stefbot]

You're right - and wrong I think! Atheism is a subset of philosophy that includes a lack of reverence for concepts such as a God - and the State is part of that subset of dangerous fantasies... You might prefer the 'Intro to Philosophy' series...

But I will certainly change the tag - thanks for the comment!

[bassandit]

Yeesh. I don't know how far I'd run with that metaphor. The state does actually exist.

Is atheism a lack of reverence? I don't think so. I have some reverence for other peoples' feelings (which is all we're really talking about when we talk about someone's faith). I just happen to think their feelings are directed at an imaginary Sky Fairy.
