Satisfied now?
Now that your ignorant insistence on lumping so many people together under too narrow a field has been shown to be so, I have a few questions regarding your other comments…
Good! That’s usually the point of metaphors that include the phrase “chopped liver”. (Everyone loves imagery)
Derailment? It was a direct response to a comment you made. I literally said your whole mumbo jumbo about Friedman getting his anarcho-capitalism from Rothbard, and so therefore every anarcho-capitalist is Rothbardian, and there is such a thing as Libertarian Marxists (as if that’s somehow not an oxymoron), and blah blah blah…didn’t make a whole lot of sense. And it doesn’t. And thanks to you, Friedman even came in and confirmed it.
I never said anything against using labels. This is basically the same straw man argument used by socialists against anyone who opposes state-run institutions…
[E]very time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.[9]
I ask why you insist on lumping together an entire group of people — many of whom subscribe to quite different philosophies — not only under one single label…but also why the label you insist on has to be an actual subset of already established umbrella terms (e.g. “libertarian”, “anarcho-capitalist”)…and you imply that I am an ignorant rube who is against labels and needs to be told “how the world runs.”
It wasn’t 6 months ago that you first showed up here asking about an “official national language” endorsed by the state, under a “libertarian government”.
Let’s try and keep a bit of humility.
I’m sure there are many who would strongly disagree that everyone using the same term to label themselves is even on the first page of important things to work for…let alone “of the utmost magnitude”.
And exactly why must they resort to “the most specific” term? You haven’t established this. And finally, who said “Rothbardian” is the most specific term for it?
You have a lot of presentation to do if you expect to have any of this pass as an actual argument.
