Sauron, The Great Enemy
Yeah whatever, let's just do the easy thing. The world is what it is and if the world were to be not what it is then it wouldn't be what it is now or before when it was something else and then everything exploded because God came down from heaven with his army of aliens and Crazedrat was right all along.
How am I not thinking for myself? Because I agree with a certain model of social organization? I chose libertarianism because of its convincing power to me, its consistency and the historical evidence that supports it. Going through every specific practical problem separately will lead to unintended consequences. You have to have some consistency.
Instead of repeating what every libertard says I'm now going to "'think for myself" by Hkkmr standards:
On the second Tuesday of March all member of Libertopolis have the right to kill one pet of one neighbor.
In suits involving death by toothpaste, the defendant must circumnavigate the globe thrice before chopping off the hand of the first person they see when they reach their destination.
If you own a red house, then it is perfectly fine to pee on black people.
The taller your hat, the less compensation you must pay for minor sexual assault.
On moving onto a street of less than five people, you may if you wish designate yourself as their rightful sovereign. You and your appointed heirs will then rule over them for all time.
You are not allowed to possess or distribute cucumbers. If you do so, you'll be thrown into an pit of anal rape.
Walking backwards on the ides of march is a capital offense.
There, now I'm thinking for myself, and solving problems individually, which is superior to having an over-arching model.
edit: In the end, it really comes down to knowing that Hkkmr will never be convinced anyway. We are coming at this from completely different angles with different definitions. The only way it seems I can convince you is to run through every issue separately without reference to ideology. I think it's unfair for you to ask this from me, but ignore the fact that you entered the thread with the sweeping generalization, "capitalism has killed more people than communism and nazism." You are using purely emotional appeals by trying to appear as a respectable moderate who thinks for himself and pays no heed to ideologues, but really you are evading the point I'm making about the abuse and expansion of power. In communism and nazism this potential for abuse is ignored, and in libertarianism it is recognized as something to be in every possible way minimized. The question of minimal state or no state is something I'm still open to, and consider quite a bit, despite your belief that I am a brainless fanatic.
