As voters we should vote for putting the current welfare reciepients into gas chambers, problem solved! Furthermore we should force all public sector workers to double their hours and half their pay to reduce our ‘national’ debt and work on lethal border lasers to fry those wetbacks.
“Then it would be way easier to infiltrate Mafia and change it into Charity organization. No one has done that, as far as I know…”
And why on earth would anyone need to? Hence be bothered enough to try.
My ‘lord’… seriously. Critical thinking, not simply parroting Stefan’s “religious” fear mongering on this issue.. it’s the exact same with claims / FEARS about if RP is elected and shit his the fan, Libertarianism will be dealt a letal blow.. lmao, delusional. Go try make the case..
Furthermore as was mentioned earlier, Lew Rockwell has an example of Hoppe’s microsession.. to a large degree.
I’d like to thank z1235 and Conza88 for completely blowing my concerns about voting out of the water. I will no longer be voting for Ron Paul with a twinge of guilt as I do it.
^ Well yeah.. as Rothbard put it, it’s more about who & what you support. Voting is largely a red herring.
Personally, I’m all about voting for someone like Ron Paul… who is worthy. [Rand Paul I more than likely wouldn’t]… he’s not as radical or principled, maybe he’ll improve - hopefully.
But I’m against voting ‘against candidates’, i.e you a bunch of clowns and no-one like RP in the field, because that way when you vote against the turd sandwhich, you’re implicitly voting for the douchebag… so I’m not going to care about analysing who is ‘the least bad’, and I’m all for no-voting campaigns in that regard. Lesser of two evils, is still evil. And it can be good to point that out.
I’m forced to vote where I live, down under. Since there is no-one worthy.. [voluntarists] I write anti-state quotes, lewrockwell.com and mises.org on the ballot.
sure, to a pragmatist this is a no-argument. I’m principled anarchist, though, that’s why Stef’s argument made sense to me. Maybe, if I become older, I’ll think differently, but now…I WANT THIS RED BUTTON!
So as long as I am not forced to vote (under the threat of violence) I won’t.
Why not? Do you not use public roads, or any public utilities you may have available? Do you not pay any taxes? Then you are already sacrificing principles for practicality.
if I am forced to do something, I don’t sacrifice principles. There is nothing “practical” though about trying to live as long as possible without being killed. It’s human nature. Self-preservation.
