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
I used to be an AnCap, BTW
But what makes Georgists the most annoying?
@H3llbender have you ever read Rothbard?
They served the same social role as Commies do today
@H3llbender It is on my list
@H3llbender Same role? As in threatened some part of capitalism, just like slavery abolitionists did?
@H3llbender have you ever read any Austrian economists?
No
I mean, threatening to release a type of property (whether it's land or niggers), it annoys the owners.
I'm a Geo-Libertarian, btw, despite being a land-owner.
@H3llbender in what sense did you "used to be an ancap"?
@whiic As in quite literally a lot of georgist communes reorganized as communist communes
@halfthink Randian
Randians aren't ancap.
I'm used to talking to leftists
Ayn Rand was minarchist.
as you can clearly tell
...also Rand supported copyright because she was a selfish bitch who wanted monopoly of her writings.
@halfthink No-one's perfect.
own work that you produced? how absurd
Copyright is an interesting topic that we are all probably more likely to actually convince each other of
I personally think copyright is mostly obsolete now
@Unwound Well, that applies more to copyright than to land. And you can modify the land, but you didn't create it.
property rights only count for scarce resources. You can't steal am idea.
On the other hand, if copyright was a legit property, what is the libertarian argument against Cultural Appropriation?
At one point due to the scarcity of information copyright was useful to promote the distribution of IP
But that isn't quite a thing anymore
The purpose of copyright has always been the control of information.
Tim is awake
Thr libertarian case against IP.
He was asking for the one *for* IP tho.
Speaking of which, Discord is absolutely proprietary
That's a contradiction. What's the communist argument for capitalism?
