http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-taxestheft.htm* kiba sigh. Somebody have the ball to attack one of our idea directly. Unfortunately, it failed. Roads are not public goods, research certainly can be funded with private dollars, and governments force program upon the people whether they like it or not, democracy elects bad/mediocre official. Suggestion: please do your research more so that you can give a real criticism of libertarian political thought.

IF the marketplace have more posts than Bitcoin Discussion, then I think that meant it's time to split the marketplace forum section.

I really hope there is more reasoning that goes into a statist perspective than what appears on the surface.
So we're all agreeing that gene is not a real anarchist? Well anybody who laugh at the idea of taxation as evil is a statist in my book. |

It had been brought into my attention that my mis-spelling are rather common in my story despite my effort to proof read the whole writing two times.  That's embarrassing<--(word that had to be fixed by spell check) as an editor-in-chief. This is preventing me from doing my job effectively as an editor-in-chief. Therefore, starting tomorrow, I will learn how to spell all the words that I missed for this week..and all the words I mis-spelled next week, and so on. Since I don't have any more time tonight. I will be fixing my mistakes in the morning. P.S. Somehow open source word processor don't come with spellcheck built-in. (LibreOffice, I am looking at you) |

Because until such a time as private power can be kept in check without a mediating force, expect to be taken advantage of by private power. Democracy is the best way we know of to handle this problem. Democracy gives each person equal power. Markets assign power based on money.
Cartels in free market are known to fall apart. They're unsustainable due to the force of competition. Um, private "security" (mercs). This is so obvious as to be embarrassing. It has happened before and will happen again. Concentration of power and capital does not require a state.
Good for you. Libertarian literature had much to say about how they think private defense agencies will work. BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA. Oh. Oh. Flying cars... ok, I'm better now.
If you do not wish to discuss this seriously, by all means continue to laugh. However, mocking the other side's points and belief does not contribute to change in position. |

I should add that all media, being corporate controlled, is party to corporate propaganda. I don't know why anyone thinks I like the NYTimes -- my ideas are in discord with the establishment doctrine put forth my what are called "liberal" newspapers. These news companies cover news in predictable ways, corresponding to their respective audiences and advertisers. It seems it is an easy label (reader of X) to apply to people who disagree with you. I've been called a reader/watcher of everything from Fox to WSJ to NYTimes to you name it. This is basic tribalism: same teenager thought process in play. I don't take offense to it -- same way I don't get upset when babies cry. This is to be expected.
All mainstream media are very sophisticated propaganda machine. The only difference is who you think the propaganda is intended for. Most of humanity only read what they wanted to read and what agree with their views. If the news did not say what the masses think the world should be, the mainstream news will be forced out of the market. And I noticed that nobody has even attempted to address the points regarding the Koch bros. I'll repeat that they aren't the only ones doing this kind of thing. I am sorry to say that the whole libertarian movement is a farce being perpetrated by those with huge amounts of money and influence. The good news is that it's never too late to realize that you are being duped.
The problem with your statement is that libertarians fight over each other who is the most idealogical pure. I remember hearing some libertarian diss the Koch bros or complaining something about them. The kind of infighting makes it hard to perpetrated any sort of control over an entire group of people. Even though this community contains lot of libertarians, most of our comrades don't want to join the bitcoin cause. As you can see, the infighting makes it hard for us to organize politically. |

Due to the fact that this magazine was delayed, the sponsor of inaugural issue will appears again next week.
Edit: I also made the policy much clearer.

oh the irony I love it.
Yes, this was an unfortunate delay but the deadline is 0:00 UTC Wednesday(8 o'clock tuesday where I live). I decided to wait for Nefario to fix his writing before it get published. To remedy this problem: 1. The deadline is now Sunday. 2. Design template so that the time took to package the content together is lower. 3. Get more writers on board so that the magazine isn't delayed by writers not completing their revision. 4. As soon as the rough draft is submitted. I will try to edit them all before Monday 0:00 UTC rolls around. |

Two miners have now been sold. The customer can reveal himself at his leisure.  I also encourage his feedback as well. In bitcoin or dollars? |

It seem that we will be a little bit late in releasing the inaugural issue of Bitcoin Weekly.

In just one sale, Atlas gained more bitcoin than I worked to gain in an entire month.  Anyway, good work helping the bitcoin economy out.  |

This is a caricature. The teenage in this thread is strong.
It is easy to say that taxes are theft while enjoying the society that is in some large part built upon them. Actually, it is just funny/sad (depending on how much I've had to drink).
It is theft according to libertarian ethical theory. Therefore, it is wrong even if I live on cushion of tax supported activities. I cannot pay back the taxes back to the people who was forced to pay, but at the very least I can do is be committed to being a productive member of society to make up for those stolen money. |

Beautiful. Your response makes it difficult for me to take you seriously. How are people supposed to get around? What would you prefer? Rail? Good luck with that... unless you're talking about paying for it with taxes.
It's called private roads. Plus tax is theft. |

Yes. Every rich person's greatest problem is what to do to keep from giving anything back to the society that made their success possible in the first place. The end result of a society in which this is permitted to go unabated is pretty horrible.
The rich doesn't own "society" anything. They are either productive or are thief. That's all that should matter. For everyone else, like you, taxes help pay for things like clean water and many other things that libertarian types consistently forget all about.
Well, I don't know... Do you like roads? How about knowing that there are regulations that keep you from getting poisoned by tainted foods? Or the building codes/inspectors that keep the country from looking like Somalia? Or the internet? It was built using tax money. What's that? You thought the free market made all this happen? Nope. Taxes levied by representative (flawed, but existent democracy) government.
Libertarians don't ignore stuff like that. I don't even like roads. In fact, I think public roads are subsidy for corporations, as well being killers. Th problem is clear: the rich will continue to abuse you until you realize that you can put an end to it. They use many tools. A favorite tool is propaganda - to fool you into supporting policy that sets favorable conditions (for them) that ensure that you will never be able to compete.
Nonsense. The media get rich by catering to people's bias and belief, not that the media is designed for propaganda of the few and powerful. |

A free society do not exist by coercion and violence.
A free society exists by peaceful cooperation and consent.
That is the doctrine of Voluntarism.
So let disperses with the idea of democracy and deal with each other one on one using the Golden rule principle.

He may also have done this as symbolism that Bitcoin is not a one man show and can stand on its own.
Indeed! We hardly missed his presence. |
