*** February 2011 low content thread ***

Thanks Nielsio for you contributions! Watched a couple of the vids over dinner, really liked the conformity video =)

Jan Helfeld gives us another episode of political doublethink.

Jan Helfeld has a freaky style some times in his interviews. He would keep repeating the same question over and over, even after the interviewee has frankly told him that he or she has no interest in answering the question. It’s like a very creep kind of interrogation.

Jan Helfeld: Is a person justified in initiating force against someone who has not used force?

Bernie Sanders: I have told you five times I don’t want to answer it.

Are we running out of resources?

Woodrow Wilson and the twelve dollar bill.

Under capitalism wouldn’t “corporate organizations” be able to provide all of the physical protection necessary for their customers and or employees, making government unnecessary?

Whatever you are proposing it is not capitalism. The proper name for what you purpose is not ‘corporations’, but street gangs, who fund their business through extortion of their victims (which you would call ‘customers’). Government is an agency with a monopoly on the power to legally use force in a specific geographic area. What you purpose are multiple agencies (what you incorrectly accuse to be private corporations) in the same geographic area, that have the power to use force subject to no rule of law: anarchism.

These low content threads can become a bit of a heavy load. Maybe it would be better to post links instead of embedded videos.

More embedding you say?

(ps, we’ll be on the next page soon enough)

The Philosophy of Liberty (remade)

Congratulate me. After months of being in the forums (actually, more than two years), I finally figured out what these ‘low content’ threads are meant for.

Can’t wait for the March low content thread.
