Libertarianism predates the 1840s. I've been hearing this argument for the past 20 years, and it is nonsense. Socialists seem to recognize no property rings even in the terms they use, but that is just dishonesty at some point.

What do you think about cooperatives? Who's the man with the gun there?
- lzw 16y agoNot only are you ignorant, and unwilling to be enlightened, but your are dishonest as well. Bottom line is, you want to use violence to make ores subsidize your lifestyle, and that makes you scum. Arguing with your rationalizations of this ideology is pointless because you don't have any arguments, just propaganda. It really is pathetic.
