Knight of BAAWA writes, “Learn. To use. The quote feature. NOW.”
How dictatorial of you, sir. Perhaps you are not yet true to your philosophy of Anarchism? Probably this is why you are attempting to insist that everyone must think the way you do.
PatriotforFreedom: “Correct. You asked for examples of when state abuse was stopped. I provided them.”
Knight of BAAWA: “But the state abuse wasn’t stopped; another state or version of the state started abusing again.”
False. The state abuse for those states in existence at the time was stopped – and technically, before a new state was formed. That instances of the abuse of a constitution, which is not the same as pure state abuse, began later is irrelevant to what was proven.
PatriotforFreedom: “The counter argument which you have continually ignored, is that governments have been of service to men, and that they will always be much more consistent and so more efficient than any real or imagined state of Anarchy.”
Knight of BAAWA: “So you keep saying. And it’s time for you to prove it.”
- Did not governments move to liberate Europe from the Nazis and so were of service to men?
- Have governments not formed treaties which are of service to humans?
PatriotforFreedom: “Yes, you do appear lazy now, because the raising of a Navy does not fit into the definition of socialism also earlier given.”
Knight of BAAWA: “He said SOCIALIZED, not SOCIALISM. And I notice that you’re too lazy to use the quote feature.”
Semantics. Perhaps you are not true to your earlier desire not to deploy the tactic?
We are free here to use the features as we choose. Or are you set against that freedom?
And as to your claim of laziness, please now prove that using a series of other features requires less effort than using the quote feature.
PatriotforFreedom: “A Navy, such as we currently employ, constitutes neither common worker ownership of a “means of production” (as in a factory), or the “distribution of goods” (as in a transportation company). It seems you have failed to understand Karl Marx.”
Knight of BAAWA: “And yet it’s still socialized provision.”
Come now, dear BAAWA, it is you that scream for proof then make an assertion with no premises for it. How disingenuous.
PatriotforFreedom: “Our Navy is a freely contracted means of protection.”
Knight of BAAWA: “No, it isn’t.”
Please prove your assertion.
