Am I committing thought crimes?
- pjc50 7y agoIn the West we tend to believe in free association and the right of people to perform political activity without being beaten up by the police, at least most of the time.
- quotemstr 7y ago> In the West we tend to believe in free association and the right of people to perform political activity LOL
- greatscott404 7y agoWow. I myself hail for your fabled "west", and I'm not suggesting that free association should be scrapped nor that violence be committed against its practitioners.
- pjc50 7y agoYou literally started this thread by demanding that a policital association be banned. History tells us what that looks like in practice, and how much violence is involved in having the police break a strike.
- greatscott404 7y ago"literally"?
- pjc50 7y ago> in a perfect world labor unions would be illegal
- greatscott404 7y agoAs in workers can't legally demand higher wages as a group, as in those negotiations won't be legally binding and fines would be imposed on strikers, no need to hit anyone.
- pjc50 7y ago> fines would be imposed on strikers .. which won't be paid, and you have to deal with the picket line. State fines for non-attendance at work? State fines for calling in sick? Seriously, this is how you get Chile. Or Venezuela.
- greatscott404 7y agoA striking union would be fined, they can figure out the allocation amongst themselves.
- pjc50 7y ago.. or not pay it.
- Apocryphon 7y agoAnd how are fines enforced? Does a libertarian really need to be educated on why their ideology came up with the NAP?
- shantly 7y agoLaborers can't collectivize as soon as capital can't collectivize (incorporate). I'm on board this train, let's do it. Ban collective action in the economy, especially that supported and enabled by the government. In all its forms. Where's the petition I can sign?
- bashinator 7y agoWell, no of course not. But it does seem likely that you're a shill or a sock-puppet.
