  • The reason we lose? Because we don't repeat that the fact that a coercive state IS violence by definition.

  • We can win on both terms. :)

    The debate we lose is the 'gun in the room' argument.

  • The problem with this "theology of entrepreneurship" is that it leaves unchallenged the collectivist premise that morality is measured in how useful you are to others. In other words, should the case be made that you are failing to serve the "community", then your life and property are forfeit.

    You are attempting to justify Capitalism on the Socialist's own terms. You can never win that fight.

    Instead, we must challenge the premise that man exists only as a means to the ends of others.

  • where there is a need there is opportunity

  • One question I ask every socialist that they can never answer is the premise of one of Mises's books: How does economic calculation occur in a socialist state?  All the people bashing capitalism, answer me this simple question, really, I need a good laugh today.
