- Eisenstein 4y agoSo when free markets don't align with the philosophy then we just redefine words until they do?
- Ancapistani 4y agoI was only being trite. From memory, a government is a political entity with three distinguishing characteristics: * it claims a physical territory * it claims a monopoly on the *legitimate* initiation of force * it claims the moral right to levy taxes
- Eisenstein 4y agoI was referring to the free market. If the free market creates a government, then you have redefined free market to mean government when it was created by the market forces.
