@MsSexySocialist Well, this is odd- I can't see your recent comments to me on this video, nor can I see your last comment to DrCruel on the Anti-wage slavery video, on multiple PCs, multiple browser apps, either logged in or logged out (I'm an IT guy, it's natural for me to try such things). I can only see them on your channel. If you replied to the PM I sent to you, I'm not seeing that either. Hopefully YT will un-stick whatever glitch is causing it. I'll check back later.

@MsSexySocialist I have been considering your earlier statement that [stolen property] would be "effectively useless as no-one would recognize their claim to it and would refuse to engage with them economically - meaning it would be a pointless endeavor to begin with." Sans any state, government or social group coercion, such a lack of recognition would depend on the integrity of individuals (separately or collectively). Are you *counting* on this? Can you give me some context to your assertion?

@MsSexySocialist You referred to "a legal framework to make sure that an individual possessing personal property has certain guaranteed rights to be recognized as the owner of that property" & a "municipal police service". Flawed as they often are, we have these in our present society. How might they differ in a Libertarian Socialist society where the state is dissolved & government is decentralized into a network of directly-democratic local assemblies; offering administration without force?

@MsSexySocialist "It would depend on how the system was set up in the first place by its founders on a macro level"
Hmm... my thoughts are drawn to the founders of the US constitution- recognition of slavery, exclusion of women etc.- I'm sure you know its gross anti-libertarian faults. I don't put weight in "founding principles", rather I put weight in "rational, moral & compassionate" principles.
Not to imply that *you* don't, I strongly suspect that you do also. :)
