if you want a label

2019-09-28 20:04:34 UTC  

"your property is not your property" -communists

2019-09-28 20:05:31 UTC  

'Taking what business owners have worked for is not theft but paying workers agreed upon wages is theft'

2019-09-28 20:05:56 UTC  

theft is just whatever the people with the most guns decide it is

2019-09-28 20:06:08 UTC  

No it isn't

2019-09-28 20:06:17 UTC  

Theft has a pretty clear definition

2019-09-28 20:06:27 UTC  

Taking someone else's property

2019-09-28 20:06:28 UTC  

Who sets that definition? @The Electric Lizard

2019-09-28 20:06:31 UTC  

Is Theft

2019-09-28 20:06:48 UTC  

and what constitutes someone's property is decided by the people with the most guns

2019-09-28 20:06:52 UTC  

Society

2019-09-28 20:07:03 UTC  

or in older times people with the most horses

2019-09-28 20:07:12 UTC  

If a group of people with guns take property from those without it is theft

2019-09-28 20:07:26 UTC  

yeah but what makes it their property

2019-09-28 20:08:15 UTC  

They have proclaimed it to be theirs before others have

2019-09-28 20:08:31 UTC  

And have probably built things there

2019-09-28 20:08:44 UTC  

the fact that they were physically in possession of it?

2019-09-28 20:09:12 UTC  

what makes their claim legitimate? and what does it mean to "physically possess" something?

2019-09-28 20:09:24 UTC  

i mean do the koch brothers "physically possess" all of their oil wells?

2019-09-28 20:09:31 UTC  

They have said it before others have

2019-09-28 20:09:37 UTC  

if you are holding something, and I take it from you without your consent, that would be theft

2019-09-28 20:10:10 UTC  

What are you going to do about it?

2019-09-28 20:10:13 UTC  

Complain to the police?

2019-09-28 20:10:15 UTC  

holding something makes it your property?

2019-09-28 20:10:23 UTC  

Yes @Weez

2019-09-28 20:10:25 UTC  

Can't have them coming and violating my freedom by stopping me.

2019-09-28 20:10:50 UTC  

The State should only be maintained to keep the police and a justice system

2019-09-28 20:11:06 UTC  

Again, Minarchist State

2019-09-28 20:11:08 UTC  

The police violate freedom.

2019-09-28 20:11:14 UTC  

I thought you wanted to maximize freedoms?

2019-09-28 20:11:33 UTC  

I want Sane Maximum Freedom, That is why i am not an Anarchist

2019-09-28 20:11:59 UTC  

A society will fall into chaos without a justice system

2019-09-28 20:12:26 UTC  

A justice system reduces the freedom of everyone in that society

2019-09-28 20:12:29 UTC  

By restricting their actions

2019-09-28 20:13:12 UTC  

It's not infinite Freedom, It is as much freedom as possible while still maintaining an orderly and sane society

2019-09-28 20:13:31 UTC  

A reasonable society

2019-09-28 20:15:12 UTC  

the problem with the word freedom is that it doesn't really mean anything without some conception of the good by which conflicts are resolved

2019-09-28 20:15:29 UTC  

Freedom is simply the ability to do what you want

2019-09-28 20:15:35 UTC  

the "right" aisle of liberty generally approaches this by having some spook to rely on like transferable self ownership or whatever

2019-09-28 20:15:49 UTC  

It's just being able to do what you want

2019-09-28 20:16:06 UTC  

Can you own property? Then you have freedom
