I used to listen to Stefan, he has a lot of good ideas but I got tired of his megalomania. A bit cultish saying that people shouldn’t look at any criticism of him but “think for themselves” yet only read his books, etc. Having left an authoritarian religion I see similar signs in him. So, I can’t really listen to him especially since he encourages DEFOOing from people’s parents, even from the good ones, because, of course, Stefan is the only good parent this world has to offer.I know I might be a little over the top, but Stefan has some issues. I would consider Stefan an extreme side of libertarian.

Which I am too. I just disagree with the non-aggression principle/natural rights. There is a spectrum of libertarianism and Stefan falls on the far side of it. Stefan has his flavor of NAP, but even he admits that, in the end, it doesn’t matter, because you have the “Don’t be a dick” rule where you can throw out contracts if society thinks that person is being a dick.

Although I agree that the NAP can be a good heuristic it doesn’t necessarily reflect reality.And, although I outlined some of Stefan’s faults. I do think he does have some positive things to society. But, it is just dangerous putting him out there because he has caused good families to break up with his Defooing, encourages people to not think for themselves, and runs his inner circle similar to how Ayn Rand did with her inner circle in a cult like manner. Now, that doesn’t mean that Stefan is all bad, he has his good parts, it is just that he is extreme and cultish.If you would like I can link to a podcast where they talked about some of these problems. Not sure why I can’t reply to Jack’s replyAnyway, Molyneux is, from my experience with his ideology, a libertarian:He speaks with authority on libertarianism(and uses the first person plural “we” when talking about libertarians/libertarianism):He also answers the “unanswerable” questions directed at libertarians:which would be much less dramatic if he were, say, a mere anarchist. At very least, he is an anarco-capitalist that has a very libertarian philosophy vis-a-vis the non-aggression principle.

Please let me know if I am missing something.At any rate, I really appreciate the occasional libertarian/anarchist/free market philosophical material. It tends to draw me into the comments more to read what fellow TSPers think. Download switchbot v3.1 in romana girlshare. Unlike some people I don’t worry about EVERYTHING that anyone says or does, I worry about what they say that is insightful, useful and accurate. As you can’t even begin to get your head around Anarchism you won’t like any thing he says or likely accept any point that he makes. I mean it is simple Jose, you have no idea what anarchism is, just as I didn’t myself not that long ago.

There word has been so corrupted that it takes an effort to really get past the lies, one apparently only a few people care to make. I don’t want to delve into the wonders of anarchism or libertarianism (L or l) or their degrees of difference. But I have yet to hear an anarchist make a case for anarchy while living in a stateless society. They always seem to preach from the comforts brought to them by the state: good internet connection, good roads, peace, etc It’s their combined air of superiority and hypocrisy that just doesn’t make them credible. A hobo living under a bridge would make a better case for living free. Perhaps is Stephan wrote to us from a tent in one of the Canadian fjords, the closest he could get to stateless society, I might take him more seriously.I get his points, but most are academic and unattainable. The standard is simply too theoretical, devoid of practical use.

At least for me, that is. @JoseThere’s a whole bunch of podcasts and books on anarchism to check out if you want to dig deeper.

In fact, I’ve been doing that myself recently just because I felt pretty ignorant about a lot of it. Turns out, it’s a really big subject with a lot of different ideas and opinion, but a very rich history.With regards to being too “academic and unattainable” or “too theoretical” – the same was more or less once said of the idea of a United States of America or even the abolition of slavery. Big things start with big ideas. Some make it, some don’t, and some just have to wait for the right time.

I totally agree with you Chad.I think there is something larger too that holds many back and I know it held me back from understanding I already was an anarchist.It is the well how would we questions and how would work questions.The person who looks at anarchy with no understanding wants those answers now, the anarchist knows that we will figure things out as we go and that the journey is long, likely longer than our own lives. The anarchist is thinking 6-7 generations forward. (I didn’t think about it when I typed generations forward, isn’t that interesting).The problem is people think in terms of libertarian, republican, socialist, democrat, etc, etc, etc, etc. All involve a great deal more thinking about other people and far less thinking about yourself and in the most negative way possible. Not as in, “oh that poor man that I can actually see right there is cold and needs my help”, but in the manner of, “If someone doesn’t steal our money and give it to that cold man he might get angry and steal in a far more violent way”.Yes absolutely when you start at the top, “anarchy for all, now” which is the mentality of all statists, no matter what they call themselves, libertarian, republican, democrat, etc.

Does not matter, the ideology is lets get our guys in, take over and fix the stuff everyone else fucked up, right?Where as the anarchist can’t even allow himself to think as such, as no matter how benign the theft and use of violence it is still a violation of his principles. Murder is murder, a title or a uniform doesn’t change that.

Theft is theft, being pronounced a “tax collector” doesn’t change that.No what is VERY hard to understand is the day you say I am an anarchist, changing and controlling others by any means goes out the window!Jose, yes the concept of an anarchist world is largely intellectual and unattainable, for now, absolutely correct. But I think, we would both agree, if the population had sufficient ethics and morality, it would be the best solution right? The only thing preventing it is really how OTHERS behave right?Okay well guess what that shit doesn’t apply to Jose and his immediate Garcia family that he leads does it?Which means what is largely unattainable in Jose’s eyes is immediately attainable in his life!The question is not how many people have sufficient ethics and morality to live without a state, no, it is only do I have sufficient ethics and morality to live without a state?If your answer to that is YES you do, then in YOUR LIFE, what do you NEED THEM FOR? As long as they rob and steal from you, you may have to adapt at the interactive edges between your family and them, but you don’t have to willingly give them any more energy, blood, treasure and legitimacy than is absolutely necessary to for your family to be left alone.You know I didn’t get it until recently but this is the very picture of anarchy right here, might as well change the B on the coat to an A.No Jose you can’t make sure the guy down the street is moral and ethical enough to be an Anarchist, but YOU YOURSELF can be one.

You can raise your children, your family to be such people, you can influence others to awaken to said reality. And we can both die old men some day a long way from where the journey ends but not regret our own lives.Yes what is absolutely unattainable in a lifetime is attainable in a millisecond once you focus on that which you actually control. Question re: anarchy.

In an “anarchist” society, how would the following “offenses” be dealt with? Are we talking about vigilantism? Honest question.Offenses:.Gross, intentional polluters.Theft.FraudI think “rule of law” is a good and legitimate function of gov’t would/could be to enforce laws and contracts between parties. But also believe we have a gov’t that has written far too many laws, is far to pervasive, and has invaded way too far into the private lives of the people. But mankind does need a curb. What is that curb in an anarchist society?

Threat of retaliation? Again, this is not a criticism, it’s a question. You know what I have learned trying to answer such questions for people is pointless.Try this how will you deal with yourself as to not polluting, not defrauding and not stealing from others?Will you choose to do these things?

Not saying I agree with every single point, because there are definitely points here and there I’d disagree with him on – but by far, there is SO much relevant information in here that I think I’ll go ahead and post it, and you decide for youself.And below is the info he posted underneath his video:I figure I’ll just post what Stephan posts under his youtube video. And if you like the audiobook / video, consider dropping him a couple bucks is feel inclined. Anyway, here’s the info he posted:Text/Audiobook:Audiobook:Hey — seriously – congratulations on your new political post!If you are reading this, it means that you have ascended to the highest levels of government, so it’s really, really important that you don’t do or say anything stupid, and screw things up for the rest of us.The first thing to remember is that you are a figurehead, about as relevant to the direction of the state as a hood ornament is to the direction of a car — but you are a very important distraction, the “smiling face” of the fist of power. So hold your nose, kiss the babies, and just think how good you would look on a stamp.Now, before we go into your media responsibilities, you must understand the true history of political power, so you don’t accidentally act on the naive idealism you are required to project to the general public.The reality of political power is very simple: bad farmers own crops and livestock — good farmers own human beings—Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
