Well, fight fire with fire. Use the red hearing approach and divert the debate to prices, build a foundation from there, then redirect back to his assertions one by one. Trap him. You may not gain agreement from him, but maybe some of his followers.

  1. Coercion is still wrong if it is restricted to a boundry. It is the act itself which is wrong, being able to leave to avoid the coercive demand has no bearing on whether it is right or not.

  2. According to your argument, that oppression is non existant if you can leave, if I walk up to you with a gun and say “pay me $100,000 or leave” you are not being oppressed. However, you are being coerced by the gun.

  3. Being able to vote has no bearing on whether it is coercion or not.

  1. Government does not have total power over trade and business. Black markets, such as the illegal drug market, can form, and persist even when government tries to eradicate them.

  2. This is a non-sequitor. Although government can give illegitimate powers to business, it does not give it the power to restrain it.

I think that was satire?

oh.
