I quite like LVT

2019-02-11 22:46:14 UTC  

@H3llbender And if there's nothing wrong with Georgism or Geo-Libertarianism, what is that makes it annyoing?

2019-02-11 22:46:43 UTC  

I know it annoys hardline capitalists because they like to think land as property the same way niggers were property once.

2019-02-11 22:46:45 UTC  

Georgists do. They had a commune just north of me during the early 20th century

@whiic John Galt for example funded communal utilities in Galt's Gulch via what appeared to be a LVT

2019-02-11 22:48:43 UTC  

I used to be an AnCap, BTW

2019-02-11 22:48:58 UTC  

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.
