Slavery damages the freedom of the slaves

Doesnt matter

what does the gov do about it?

Nothing

they cant in your world

Preserving Freedom should be the only goal of the state

The slaves will just have guns.

That's impossible since the state in its very nature removes freedom. @The Electric Lizard

That would work

i agree

the state must uphold the freedom of the laborer against the tyranny of capitalists

So it simply preserves as much freedom as possible

@Death in June Filthy Communist

i'm not a communist

i'm just an anti-capitalist

like thomas jefferson

What is your actual ideology and preferred system then?

@Death in June if I'm not going to get any money for people using my intellectual or physical property why would I let them use it?

i'm a centrist, i lay in the middle ground between integralism on the right and national bolshevism on the left

cause it's not urs silly

I don't think you can really say that you are a centrist while also saying that you are near National Bolshevism

i would just say third position

if you want a label

"your property is not your property" -communists

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

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

No it isn't

Theft has a pretty clear definition

Taking someone else's property

Who sets that definition? @The Electric Lizard

Is Theft

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

Society

or in older times people with the most horses

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

yeah but what makes it their property

They have proclaimed it to be theirs before others have

And have probably built things there

the fact that they were physically in possession of it?

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