------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------
A brief explanation of my anti-statist views:
I am a consequentialist libertarian, I don't subscribe to "natural law" or to any axiomatic belief in the "non-aggression principle." I justify my views almost entirely on economics and public choice theory.
I'm not an adherent of the Austrian School of economics, I'm more of a Chicago School neoclassical.

Didn't sound like "playfully teasing." Even he took it somewhat serious enough to correct you.
Also, the "capitalist crusader" bit is my own. Though you may as well say it one of these days. :)
Thinks that Jews advocating Free-market economics are part of a seventy-year conspiracy by surviving members of the German National Socialist governemnt to promote fascism, which is of course free market capitalism.

anytime, mon pomme de terre. ; )
if a guy asks me, nicely, with a respectful tone, he can get me to do nearly anything for him (within reason), despite us being opponents. LOL ; P
but i like your playfully teasing jokes on me. even i laughed at your jokes making fun of me. LOL. i did not know you had such a charming sarcastic sense of humor. too bad you use your talents for evil attacking perceived enemies, so much that i dont get to see that pleasant side of you. what a shame. too bad. ; )
btw i was playfully teasing InvincibleNumanist when i called him a Capitalist.
i talked him privately in PM conversation when i said that so how would you know?
i have at least two clone imitator trollers pretending to be me, like, "GodwinsLawOnDaProwl" and a secondary. i'd just never call him a "Capitalist crusader" then so one of these trolls did it.
you certainly seem to know something about trolling & stalking.
i already know he's not a Capitalist explicitly but an anarchist that supports liberty & Free Market but he's Left Libertarian & democratic slightly.
i dont have memory loss, i just have things to do and important tasks to focus & concentrate on, other than Warcraft, Twitter & Xbox. LOL. so i get similar YT usernames confused occasionally. some of you honestly behave so similarly at times, believe such similar ideologies or philosophies & have such similar attitudes i can only 30% be help responsible for always telling you apart. ; P
