Your self defense argument doesn't absolve anarchocapitalism from being based on violence. The whole system is based on violence, just like any other system where you control access to resources against uncooperative parties. Your property is not yours because of some god-given right or natural state of things, but because ownership is maintained through violence.

Violence is a tool, not a base. If one makes an ideology on ice cream manufacturing, it is clearly not based in violence. And no, I do not care to hear about the cows sore nip̵ples, thanks.

Blue Bell did kill 3 people from a listeria outbreak, and more relevantly, Nestle owns Dreyers and Haagen Dazs. Nestle has quite the kill count going on, and those weren't accidental. They even hired assassination squads in S. America.

It's not a base for volunteerists, but it is for everyone else in case their subjects don't comply.

I'm sorry, I'm having trouble finding that bi-line, can you help me by pointing it out here.

The only reason the central planners have to resort to violence, is because the people refuse to comply.

How to destroy a socialist with one question: "And how are you going to enforce socialism for people who don't want to live under a socialist system -- with coercion and violence right?"

Capitalism and free markets are the natural and freest state of living and transacting, and they allow for all other economic and political philosophies to exist in tandem.

Sure, you will technically be inherently stealing land and resources from other people, but it's still the most moral and practical approach.

There are Christian socialist co/ops. But this socialism is based on voluntarism and utilitarianism.

So sad to see people use terms they don't understand because of a massive psy op to brainwash them into not understanding things.

Voluntaryism is the only moral political philosophy.

Representative "democracy" is violent. They will MAKE you wear a mask and beware if you don't, you might get beaten, arrested, whatever it takes.

As masks are known to protect to some extent against Covid19 (I think you wanted to address that particular situation), that's understandable for everybody to wear it in public indoor places, except ones that will suffer from it due to health conditions like asthma, etc.

No, they don't work. This is fairly well established. Plus, so what? COVID-19 is bullshit. Nobody dies from it.

Citation needed.

I meant scientific citation. This link doesn't contain any study. Moreover, it is from March, so quite beginning of pandemic.
So here you go:
- https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31142-9/fulltext
Here's nice article that mentions this meta-analysis of 172 studies, it's written in not scientific language and it's from 26th June 2020 - https://www.ucdavis.edu/coronavirus/news/your-mask-cuts-own-risk-65-percent/

Also, wearing such mask is about spreading virus to others. It's not only your mask that protects you to some extent, it's other people's masks that protects you and your mask protects others.

From a cold. Yippee. Let's end civilization because of A FUCKING COLD. I've already wasted enough time on these inanities.

So you don't believe science?

You got owned. LOL.

About what? I posted the first link that came up. And I really couldn't care less if "make believe" believes I got owned.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

sure

The problem is you illogically redefined violence to mean literally everything except the thing you want to push. Then you claim that everything except what you are pushing is bad because violence is bad and everything is violence.

However, since criticism is violence and anarcho capitalists criticize everything it is anarcho capitalists who are the most violent of all. Check and mate.
