Lyrics:

She's got the peace sign button on her lapel
She's got the coexist sticker on her hybrid car
Talking Palestinian oppression in the Middle East
And I like where this is going
But then she tells me I should be forced to buy health insurance
Like CIGNA ain't got enough money already
She's got the proverbial gun literally aimed at my chest
And when I balk, the conversation is over

I say I am an anarcho-capitalist
You're a left leaning liberal
I adhere to the non-aggression principle
While you stand in line at the movies to see Michael Moore

And then this guy, he's pissed off about the bailout
He's afraid that the government's going to take all his guns
He's extremely upset about taxes
And I like where this is going
But then he's railing about Islamo-Fascists
"Forget about due process, suspend habeas corpus,
Nuke the sons of bitches now, ask questions later"
And when I balk, the conversation is over

I say I am an anarcho-capitalist
You're a neo-conservative
I adhere to the non-aggression principle
While you repeat whatever you heard on Talk Radio

Now there's a band on stage screaming about anarchy
They got the guitars up loud and the beats real fast
Sticking a middle finger up to authority,
And I like where this is going
But then I delve deeper into their philosophy
They're talking egalitarian communes and animal rights
No system of arbitration or division of labor
No law and order -- no property rights

Because if we never used money and only bartered
And if we relegate ourselves to a loose tribal order
And if no one worked for anybody else
If the state would just abolish itself,

Because we're too busy looking cool to bother
If we all just sat around everyday smoking weed
If punk rock became all acoustic
Due to the shutting down of the electric company

And if our dread locks finally grew together,
Into one giant hairball of unity
Then we'll have finally achieved egalitarian society
Think of it as going camping - only forever... no thanks.

I am an anarcho-capitalist
You're a socio-anarchist
I adhere to the non-aggression principle
Your smell adheres to everything in 20ft radius

Can anarcho-capitalist and anarcho-communist/syndicalist societies coexist side by side? Or no? I honestly think that in the future labor won't be as big of a problem and we won't necessitate an economy because we'll have a mechanized labor force... but that's just my thoughts. I guess I would still throw my hat in with the anarcho communists but i see the point of view of Anarcho-capitalists and I respect it.

[chrislbrunner]

Is that Tom Woods' voice at the end? If so, what speech is that from? Where can I find it?

[cott2696]

Tab please!

[Neoscalex]

@AK49Gunner Maybe, though I don't think this is necessarily true. However, that isn't the point. If the NAP ist a moral absolute, its validity does not depend on its consequences.

[AK49Gunner]

@Neoscalex

I think you will find many, many fewer people starving in places where the NAP is followed more closely, than in areas where the reverse philosophy is applied...

[Neoscalex]

@codecixteen The problem with the NAP is that it is a package deal. Very much like the concept of capitalism that in modern society is used for mixed economies of state rules and private markets. The NAP includes a very specific conception of absolute property rights, above which you can hold up no moral principle. It is perfectly compatible with the NAP to let almost the whole humanity starve to death, but few people would accept this as just.

[SocietyIncollapse]

@XxAmericanLedxX I think both can exist peacefully together. Lookup youtube user rjweapon. He talks about this in a couple of different videos. 

[SmoothPlayLLC]

This is so full of win.

[pipewerkz]

@chrislbrunner Yeah that's Tom Woods. Here is the video: /watch?v=064YTtSxVSo The part in this song is near the end of the speech.

@yinzjagoffs

The limit would likely be an organic limit. How much is not own, how much that person can afford to maintain, etc.

[codecixteen]

@XxAmericanLedxX

I'd say they could co-exist so long as both sides stick to the NAP.

[gregalexludwig]

@yinzjagoffs Why would there be a limit? Who would impose the limit? There wouldn't be a government
