@stefbot the coercion in @MuscianMX's example is the system of property rights he is forced to live under. For example, he must respect Joe's fence line or be shot. This system takes away his ability to live free since the land, game, vegetation and natural resources are owned by the most powerful (those who define property rights). There is no way to avoid this; force is inherent in the use of resources.

Your joking, I'm going to guess and hope. @astrolifter

Brilliant!!

i like your reasoning Stef.
but this video is unnecessarily arrogant. e.g. the use of the word "fools" at the end, and the same general attitude that comes through at a few points will only make people defensive and antagonize you and your valid position.
i would welcome if you could create one after thinking about this for a while, because if you don't want to convince the other "fools", then why make this video?
statists piss me off also, but arguments in this style are just time wasted...

@brokenbeforetime If ants had the ability to reason I doubt they would bring food to the queen, but then again there are a lot of humans that dont have that ability either.

You have the choice now to repent or not for your speaking ill of the holy spirit.

@blapgat, don't feed the trolls. brokenbeforetime is not an individual with a high capacity to empathize

@yoshimaroka They will send a letter and bash you afterwards if you're ignoring it
This comment has received too many negative votes show
You do realize that coercion would exist even in anarcho capitalism right? If someone has a choice between working for $0.75 an hour at a power plant, $0.50 an hour in a coal mine, or $1 an hour in a meat packing factory, can you really say they have the freedom to work for whatever wage they want? The options then are to work below what you require to support yourself, or to die a horrible death due to starvation. How is that form of coercion any better?

@MusicianMX These are never the only choices in a free society. He could move, or start his own business, or borrow money to upgrade his skills, etc etc etc...
