Only if by "we" you only include progressive liberals and ignore the other half of society that gives preference to individual responsibility over welfare.
You obviously put a lot of time into your reply and I'm sorry to not address anything else, but so long as the "debate" is taking controversial political positions as axiomatic, there isn't really any point to continuing this further. I bid you good day, sir.
- EGreg 9y agoRemember, you originally said the word "we", not me. It is shibboleth for how we use force in society. I just used your word in quotation marks. In your case you take for granted that "we" should use guns to enforce private property of Capitalists. Then you criticized the word "we" which you yourself used, by making assumptions about "Liberals" and that only progressives want Welfare. Tell that to all the conservatives on Medicare and Social Security or whose water is not polluted. I've had this happen a lot. When someone is ideological they think that only their position is axiomatically true and everyone else is making assumptions. I understand how you feel, but this exceptionalism is keeping you from engaging in good faith with other viewpoints. Anarcho capitalism is the best, our system is the best, etc. You never seriously challenge your assumptions and that's why you sincerely believe that "capitalism is as inevitable as gravity." I gave you lots of good info above as a starting point but happy to discuss substance if you ever want to. Good day!
