Could you be romantically involved with someone who was a statist?

Any kind of self-described socialist or statist activist, probably not. But most of the hot girls don’t care about politics, so it’s never been an issue with any of the girls I’ve been with.

Al gore also invented the internet right?

@ Kelvin Silva

You know, there was this one time I shook Al Gore’s hand at a party at Larry David’s house, and I could have sworn I saw the guy throw his empty bottle of Jack Daniels out the window.

The only women to whom I’ve been attracted have been characteristically and philosphically individualistic. I don’t know many statist individualists.

Short term I think I could put up with it, but not the long term. It would depend on a lot of other factors.

@SkepticalMetal

I was trying to get rid of the bottle before Al bitched at me for throwing it away instead of recycling it.

Why yes I could but then I’m a statist myself.

I think a better question for me would be: “could you ever be romantically involved with an anarcho capitalist?”

My current answer is yes because I don’t think I really care but something tells me she would be more bothered by me than I by her.

EDIT: But then I’ve never encountered an anarcho-capitalist female so I’m just speculating here.

I’m coming to the opinion that we should avoid marrying an active statist, if the hope of the marriage is to raise anarcho-babies.

Does anyone know if Mises’ or Rothbard’s wives had strong political beliefs either way? I think it’s safe to assume Rose Friedman was a libertarian.

That’s what I’d want to do. Bring more liberty-minded people into this world. That would be unachievable if I had a wife who wears her favorite hammer-and-sickle T-shirt every day.

I imagine that it would be hard to keep a budget with someone who couldnt calculate, or who thought that value was objective.

Just imagine what it would be like trying to go shopping.

PEOPLE NOT PROFITS ZOMGZOMGZOMG

Someone out to find a dating site called: libertarianromance.com

or libertarianfinder.com

or ancapmance.com

It would be so awesome if those places actually existed.

Except you would have 98% males.

Hmm. Does this mean that an ancap society would have to be polygamous in order to deal with the gender imbalance?

I don’t know, but polygamy would certainly be acceptable in an ancap society.

And I know that there are more females than 2%. But you have to admit, it is a disproportionate situation.

Ancap society as in an ancap colony? No, I’m sure there would be a market for setting up foreign women with ancap men.

Seriously?

Oh and by the way, I think that being polygamous in an ancap society would, after a while, result in some…Deliverance-style results.

Um…why not? You don’t think women would want to travel to a rich and free place to find a man?? Where pretty much all men have the ability to support themselves and others? The internet makes this even easier.
