[split from How Libertarian Is Gary Johnson?]

What’s an anarchocapitalibertarian?

2

Why do you ask so many questions?

3

Why is that relevant?

Do you just not have an answer for this latest one?

4

It’s a word I made up. Jeesh.

5

Oh. Well what does it mean?

6

An anarchist… who likes capitalism… but still likes to call himself a libertarian so his parent’s don’t flip out.

You can’t just put forth an anarchist candidate. That’s something hippies do.

7

Hippies put forth anarchist candidates for elections? Like who?

8

Pigasus the Pig, 1968.

9

Pigasus was an anarchist? Do you have any writings or speeches of his that you could cite for support on this claim?

10

Well, he was a pig. And I don’t think he would govern in a governmental fashion, if he governed at all.

11

Well I thought an anarchist was

an·ar·chist

[an-er-kist]

noun

  1. a person who advocates or believes in anarchy or anarchism.

  2. a person who seeks to overturn by violence all constituted forms and institutions of society and government, with no purpose of establishing any other system of order in the place of that destroyed.

  3. a person who promotes disorder or excites revolt against any established rule, law, or custom.

So

a) I wasn’t aware any pig (let alone this one) advocated, sought, or promoted anything.

b) I think his being a literal pig disqualifies him as being “a person” anyway.

So how exactly is this an example of an anarchist candidate?

12

You got me, James. I better bring this up at my Animal Liberation Front meeting.

That’s probably a good idea.

[Split from What’s wrong with the mainstream media? here]

Was there something in there I was supposed to dislike?

If you’re an anticapitalist, no.

Otherwise it was incredibly ironic of you to post that particular Carlin video on Mises.

16

I would love for you to explain the irony since that particular video is actually a staple of my posts…

When he says businessmen control things, he means it quite literally. Private property under your “anti-statist” definition is not what he’s defending.

Does Clayton need your permission to admire non-anarcho-capitalists?

@Mustang’s Carlin

Sounds about right

Really, Jargon? Sorry to burst your bubbles, but all the cool people in world really are leftists.

The most interesting thing to me is that the things that people would seem to have the most right to have - that is to say health, food, shelter and a job - are the things that are last on the list. To me, that is fundamental. Those are the things humans most need to function, and we have placed them at the bottom of the list. So I think that says a lot about national character and priorities.

And here he goes on about rights versus privileges.
