But what makes Georgists the most annoying?

2019-02-11 22:49:18 UTC  

@H3llbender have you ever read Rothbard?

2019-02-11 22:49:19 UTC  

They served the same social role as Commies do today

2019-02-11 22:49:31 UTC  

@H3llbender It is on my list

2019-02-11 22:49:40 UTC  
2019-02-11 22:50:03 UTC  

@H3llbender Same role? As in threatened some part of capitalism, just like slavery abolitionists did?

2019-02-11 22:50:04 UTC  

@H3llbender have you ever read any Austrian economists?

2019-02-11 22:50:20 UTC  

No

2019-02-11 22:50:26 UTC  

I mean, threatening to release a type of property (whether it's land or niggers), it annoys the owners.

2019-02-11 22:50:54 UTC  

I'm a Geo-Libertarian, btw, despite being a land-owner.

2019-02-11 22:50:55 UTC  

@H3llbender in what sense did you "used to be an ancap"?

2019-02-11 22:50:58 UTC  

@whiic As in quite literally a lot of georgist communes reorganized as communist communes

2019-02-11 22:51:10 UTC  

@halfthink Randian

2019-02-11 22:51:25 UTC  

Randians aren't ancap.

2019-02-11 22:51:37 UTC  

I'm used to talking to leftists

2019-02-11 22:51:38 UTC  

Ayn Rand was minarchist.

2019-02-11 22:51:39 UTC  

@H3llbender Rand was not an ancap, she even rejected the label "libertarian"

2019-02-11 22:51:50 UTC  

as you can clearly tell

2019-02-11 22:52:03 UTC  

...also Rand supported copyright because she was a selfish bitch who wanted monopoly of her writings.

2019-02-11 22:52:24 UTC  

@whiic same reason Milton was a Keynesian.

2019-02-11 22:52:44 UTC  

@halfthink No-one's perfect.

2019-02-11 22:53:08 UTC  

own work that you produced? how absurd

2019-02-11 22:53:18 UTC  

@whiic Hoppe comes pretty close.

2019-02-11 22:53:27 UTC  

Copyright is an interesting topic that we are all probably more likely to actually convince each other of

2019-02-11 22:53:45 UTC  

I personally think copyright is mostly obsolete now

2019-02-11 22:53:46 UTC  

@Unwound Well, that applies more to copyright than to land. And you can modify the land, but you didn't create it.

2019-02-11 22:53:51 UTC  

property rights only count for scarce resources. You can't steal am idea.

2019-02-11 22:54:21 UTC  

On the other hand, if copyright was a legit property, what is the libertarian argument against Cultural Appropriation?

2019-02-11 22:54:37 UTC  

At one point due to the scarcity of information copyright was useful to promote the distribution of IP

2019-02-11 22:55:05 UTC  

But that isn't quite a thing anymore

2019-02-11 22:55:12 UTC  

The purpose of copyright has always been the control of information.

2019-02-11 22:55:34 UTC  

Tim is awake

2019-02-11 22:56:00 UTC  
2019-02-11 22:56:28 UTC  

Thr libertarian case against IP.

2019-02-11 22:56:51 UTC  

He was asking for the one *for* IP tho.

2019-02-11 22:57:20 UTC  

Speaking of which, Discord is absolutely proprietary

2019-02-11 22:57:29 UTC  

That's a contradiction. What's the communist argument for capitalism?

2019-02-11 22:57:58 UTC  

Nah, I was asking against. But I was particularly asking it from @Unwound because he said "own work that you produced? how absurd" and I found it a particularly retarded thing to say.

2019-02-11 22:58:47 UTC  

I'm definitely against intellectual monopolies, as they aren't even tangible goods but just ideas. You cannot own an idea, if you cannot even own a nigger.

2019-02-11 22:59:07 UTC  

Hippity hoppity.

```[Women] are “economic land,” because they are equivalent to physical land in being original, nature-given factors of production. Yet will anyone deny title to a cow to the man that finds and domesticates her, putting her to use? For this is precisely what occurs in the case of land. Previously valueless “wild” land, like wild animals, is taken and transformed by a man into goods useful for man. The “mixing” of labor gives equivalent title in one case as in the other.

-Murray N. Rothbard.```
