Inspired by the Abortion Threads thread, I figured this would be a nice one to make as well. This of course includes the famous Bryan Caplan “Why I Am Not an Austrian Economist” piece. So no, you’re not showing us anything new by posting it. (And as with the Abortion thread, I’m sure there are mor…

I really feel like we need to have a FAQ of common statist canards and how to blow each one out of the water. Such as: “Look at the auto industry, steel mills, manufacturing industry.

For whatever it’s worth, if someone wanted to make a counter to the anarchist FAQ I’d be happy to help make it if we get enough people on board.

I’m not saying that it’s a good primer for what I believe, or any sort of “right anarchistic” philosophy, I’m saying that it does exactly what it is supposed to do, it explains quite a complex social philosophy in a simple and relatively concise…

That leads me to another canard that’s really convincing (like, in the “there is practically a church based off of this in San Francisco whose members swear eternal jihad on the heretics” style convincing) lfor many people: 'private property is exploitation and coercion!" If you respond, ‘well, yo…

On the whole mutualist objection to private property: https://forum.freecapitalists.org/t/chomsky-on-ron-pauls-libertarianism-how-do-i-respond/21217/10 Birthday Pony’s last responses to that thread raise pretty thorny but common objections that do not get refuted quite easily. Shame that thread en…
