Yet humans are forced with violence and coercion into altruism.

Censorship tends to backfire. I suppose I should wish you good luck.
Harold wrote:I have suspected for awhile that phuketrichard and Alexandra are libertarians.
I'm not a libertarian. I'm much more extreme than that.
Harold wrote:Alexandra is quoting Hans Hermann Hoppe. The quote is from his book "Democracy: The God That Failed" which I had the misfortune of reading in high school. My Boer Nazi pal really admired Hoppe. This guy Hoppe is a German and he is a total scumbag who studied nonsense under the Jewish red diaper doper baby and "anarcho-capitalist" Murray Rothbard.
I don't understand your point, are you implying that HHH is a national socialist or that national socialists agree with HHH? It's hard for me to see the correlation between libertarianism and national socialism.
David L wrote:I have no knowledge of the Cambodian tax system. I just pay whatever tax to the Federal government the TaxHawk website tells me I need to pay, local and state income, property and sales taxes in the US. It amounts to quite a large sum, but I think the value is worth the price.
What value is the government providing that can't be provided by private corporations? How can the value possibly be worth the price in a monopoly without competition?
Harold wrote:Yes, it is really disgusting that libertarians think they shouldn't have to pay taxes.
Why? Opposing forced taxation doesn't equal opposing voluntary transactions.
Harold wrote:There are libertarians who even loudly and proudly defend Ross Ulbricht. Ross Ulbricht was behind the "Silk Road" an online marketplace setup to enable drug dealers and gun dealers to anonymously sell their products.
Money enables drug and arms dealers to anonymously sell their products. You must truly hate paying for things in Cambodia without a credit card.
Let's not forget that DEA special agent Carl Force was
imprisoned for stealing Silk Road Bitcions. Who are we really defending ourselves against? Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

If you think people should work for free and not get a salary, I suggest you go to the front of the queue and set the example. Do you think policemen, firemen, soldiers, teachers should work for free. Or any other service providers like doctors, nurses, lawyers.
Do you think it's physically impossible to pay doctors, nurses and lawyers via other means than tax money? Who suggested anybody works for free?
David L wrote:Sure, there is mismanagement in government and misplaced priorities, same as the private sector.
The difference is that you can replace a private service provider at own personal will. You can't wake up one day and choose to remove government authority from your life.
David L wrote:As we used to say in the industry where I worked, there is no pavement fairy that flies around sprinkling magical dust to fix your roads and bridges.
Supply and demand does not depend on governments.
David L wrote:So, speak-up if you are willing to work for free and not have to pay for your fair share of benefits that the public sector provides.
Again, I wonder who suggested anybody should work for free.
I would be very happy to sign a form which allows me to live my life free of public sector. I am in a situation where I am forced to pay taxes to a country I don't live in and can't possibly use any of these so called benefits. Where do I sign?
