  • Monarchy was natural and it worked for a time.

    Slaves were natural and it worked for a time.

    Capitalism is natural and it may be replaced at some time.

    Mass collectivism is unnatural...

  • All ruling classes and their ideologues have identified their rule with natural forces. It's just vulgar apologetics, really.

  • When it comes to economics, I don't think in terms of apologetics. I think in terms of effective vs ineffective.

  • and who doesnt say that?

  • So you are a baby?

  • that is just an example--maybe a bad one. Don't dwell on it. try to be honest and get at the substance of the argument. Do u perceive the difference between the unavoidable subjection of nature and the avoidable subjection of social structures?

  • It is interesting to note that I never even heard of this group ("Anarcho-capitolists") untill I started roaming around youtube. I have never seen two more contradictory words strung together, their like a Monty Python skit without the wit.

  • You continue to impress me, brother. This was an excellent response.

  • I like you better with the beard.

  • Haha. It is a rare moment on youtube where one party concede's that the other wins. ;o)

    It's ok for me, though. My goal is not to be correct. My goal is to find truth.

    Peace

  • Well thats good to know. At least we aren't arguing over some ridiculous human nature point.

  • Yep, you win, because I don't really derive any arguments from it. My latest video states that I am against collectivism from a point of practicality and pragmatism.

  • Which disproves your statement that "mass collectivism is unnatural", right? Which means that any arguments derived from that assumption have also been disproved.

  • Yes, that comment is old. A sort of "collectivism" worked for Native American Indians before the British settlers arrived.

    I think collectivism used to work quite well.

  • My nation's history, as well as the history of most other indigenous nations I've encountered on this continent, seem to disagree with you.

  • Although you commented saying the baby analogy may not be a good one, it was simply put and made sense.

    In nature, the lion eats the antilope.

    Does that mean the rich man should eat the poor man? Not at all.

    We are not animals, we have higher states of consciousness and just because something may happen in nature, does not mean we must follow.

    Besides, "Anarcho"-Capitalism is Capitalism without government -- it's uncontrolled.

    It would be worse than our current system..
