basically what I'm saying is:
there is no other type of authority
whilst the workings of a justice/law enforcement system in a stateless society, based on inter-subjective consensus etc are complex, you're essentially right to some degree.
I'm a civil libertarian. I have anything but a hard-on for the government.
civil libertarian: "Government shouldn't be able to initiate force against its citizens to tell them what they can and can't do. Oh but if they want to use force to take money from said citizens who gives a fuck."
and yet you support government owned everything, government interventions everywhere, government regulations everywhere....
More accurately described as lala land.
AC or else we are all oppressed slaves living in utter misery.
Go ahead, fiddle whilst Rome burns, why should I care if your precious market doesn't put out the fire.
why do you keep saying while Rome burned? one of the main reasons the Roman empire collapsed was Government inefficiency?
No. A lot of civil libertarians are also economic libertarians, or straight-out anarchists or varying flavours. Your stupidity ever amuses me. I'd suggest you start with a basic education on set theory if you want to improve your currently piss-poor record on rational thought.
Do I? That's good to know - here I thought I was an economic utilitarian with a growing soft spot for less - and more evidence-based - regulation. But I guess you'd know better, considering how uninformed you are. Oh wait.
Oh come now, coy dumbness? Really, you're so above that.
well then stop using a phrase that has nothing to do with anything and is just making you the victim of tragic irony
Now I know what its like for an agnostic discussing religion with a fundamentalist.
capitalism works, it allocates resources as efficiently as possible, government intervention and regulation fucks up capitalism what is your problem with that statement?
God exists, he created everything that we know to be bound by the laws of science yet preceded them therefore is not bound by the laws of science and cannot be validated by scientific testing.
