- sukulaku 11y agoI'm sure you can distinguish between contracts and rights, so what exactly are you on about?
- aninhumer 11y agoNo one asks people in your society if they agree to a system of property, you just lock them up if they try to use resources they don't "own". And calling them "rights" instead of "laws" doesn't make following them voluntary.
- sukulaku 11y agoYou know laws are something written by rulers, and you know morals are not. Punishing people for not adhering to a particular law is not necessarily morally legitimate. Smoking weed is a prime example. You know those concepts are different, so you're intentionally conflating things, which means you're a troll/sophist.
- aninhumer 11y agoEconomic systems are not inherently morally good or bad, that depends on their beneficial or harmful outcomes. It may be the case that a system of pure property would lead to the best outcomes, but if so you need to actually argue that. Putting your preferred rules on a pedestal by calling them "rights" and refusing to engage with criticism is not an argument.
