I used to be an ardent, non-violent voluntarist, but gave it up largely because of the difficulty I had in reconciling the principles of anarchism and the duty to educate children. As a teacher, I am constantly manipulating, threatening, and cajoling students to do what I want. Moreover, my authori…

I don’t mind at all. I’d say I equate “custody” with “guardianship” .

That’s his call. I simply would point out that a statist society is fundamentally immoral, violent and self-defeating economically. If he thinks ancap can be worse than that, so be it. But statism, in my opinion at least, has very little going for it. It is not a market decision. It is a value ju…

@Auto, your new style of quoting breaks the page. I have been fixing the page errors all day. This is a new thing, as your posts never did this before. I suspect you are copy pasting, instead of using the quote function. Since you post a lot, please use the post function, as it is a hassle to fix a …

Sorry, LS, I didn’t realize you were fixing them by hand. I’ve been copy-pasting my quotes ever since I joined the forum, though. I’ll try using the “Quote” feature, but I remember it didn’t work for me before (none of the quoted text would show up in the edit box). Edit: Just confirmed that clicki…

But what you’re describing is precisely the sort of Inquisitorial system which we have today where State-paid psychologists induce children to “remember” all sorts of things that their parents never did to them. I disagree that this is a sane way to prevent child abuse and, in fact, I think it actu…

Mises.org If you’re going to debate economics and political philosophy here, this is one of the most authoritative sites on the web for those topics. I did a search on mises.org and there was one PDF that came up, some blogs and a bunch of forum posts. The PDF did not provide a succinct def…

Butler Schaeffer. V for Voluntary. Lysander Spooner. Strike the Root. Voluntarism isn’t primarily an Austrian thing, but I think it is becoming one. It’s not a red herring. Wikipedia is rife with errors, and is notorious for their silly editor policies. It is far from being credible.
