So... are you one of the "Freemen on the land"?

  No.

    Ok so I am curious about the "collectivism" story. I mean, we as species have been talking care of our elderly and injured for like what, 50,000 years or 100,000 years or whatever? Seems to be working well. And, if we all chip in, we can have nice things. Roads, water, electricity, museums, libraries, courts, police, etc. Is that bad?

      If it's voluntary absolutely not. But when people fetishize collectivism the natural result is forced collectivism, which is just a rationalization of theft, robbery, and usually murder. That is bad.

        Now tell us what you think of taxes or public education. My thoughts: I benefit from your children being educated on my dime. You and I benefit from infrastructure we both use maintained on our dime. It's not theft, robbery, murder, or bad or fetishize collectivism.

        "forced collectivism". Ok, I guess you are from China. Did you experience theft, robbery and murder?
        • tylersmith 10y ago
          Theft and robbery certainly. But obviously I have not been murdered which is nice. Luckier than manyl
