I support the idea of libertarians moving somewhere remotely. Especially if it is so remote that I will never be there.  Grin

I very strongly respect your right to get to gather with other authoritarians to create your hierarchical authoritarian paradise. I'm very glad to hear that you extend a very similar respect to me!  Grin

So everybody is happy.  Wink
FYI: This is actually called pogo anarchism.

On a serious note I am not really what you call an authoritarian, I may be a traditional anarchist, I have not exactly figured that one out, I just see Libertarianism as hypocrisy.

You haven't visited their site it's much more accessible in German though. As for Libertopia that would be quite close to the "Gewalt Erlebnis-Park" (violence theme park) as I can practically imagine. Tongue

But seriously if just 10,000 libertarians could afford to purchase citizenship there than we could take over the government (since it has a population of less than 10,000 we could outvote everyone).
I see a slight problem.

Even if you "outvote everyone" and elect your chosen representatives, Nauru is still stuck with its foreign debt of hundreds of millions of dollars. The nations who lent it that money aren't going to be happy if Nauru defaults.



thats fine we can take on the debt but they would have to sell us the island for relatively less to offset that cost.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

So you believe that a society that was predicated on the most fundamental notion of libertarianism which is that the initiation of violence is unacceptable would be a particularly violent place? that's like saying that you expect commune X to be one of the highest consumer of beef per capita in the world because its comprised entirely of vegans.

I just think that the rigid definitions of ownership and social contracts will get in the way. Any squatter knows more about ant-authoritarianism than you guys.

Which one of our two principals do you dislike? the method for original appropriation which is homesteading or the method of transfer which is voluntary exchange?

You are close.
The concept of property is inherently tied to the application of force, or if you will lack thereof when one instance has been accepted. This is what you call power, the potential application of force.

Couldn't agree more.

But ElectricMucus , yes property rights imply at least the threat of the application of force to enforce that property right. If you have ethical objections to that you must be a communist Smiley
