Was Stalin a Progressive or a Conservative?

You need to read more Nozick. "Austrian stuff" is an economics school.

Fortunately, Sanskrit's litmus test means little to anyone other than Sanskrit.

 

And yet they've created The Patriot Act, want to build walls to infringe upon freedom of association, wage unjust wars, are notoriously anti-gay, they expand the military-industrial complex, their evangelicalism preaches a theocratic government, created the massive Department of Homeland Security preaches interventionalism into foreign lands...

Need I go on?

All this supported by an ever increasing tax burden.

 

No. It means that the social contract as endorsed by Rousseau is a farce. Implicit consent is what today's rulers use to justify their rule.

That is where Proudhon and I part ways, as I am an anarcho-capitalist and believe that the only legitimate property is private.

 

So how do you deal with the issue of inherited wealth which I think is the major problem of capitalism?

 

That's not a problem of capitalism, that a problem created by government. No man has been able to get as rich and powerful as they are now without the help of government.

 

Can anyone tell me the meaning of USSR? I think that answers your question.

 

I guess, as far as you are concerned, the answer to my question, "Are we now seeing an effort to classify the concept of individual freedom as an evil objective?", is Yes.

And the hard left denies it's totalitarian objectives. Laughable.

 

Why is inherited wealth an issue?

 

And all of that all together represents less than 1/10 of one percent of what the left has done and will continue to do and the security portion of the budget is about a 1/4 of the entire budget, so again the notion that conservatives are equally authoritarian is nonsense.

 

Partisan tripe. Imperialism and nation building are massive endeavors that not onlyonly thousands of innocents but infringes upon the rights of the invaded. The Republican authoritarian bloodlust is well documented.

 

Except almost every war last century was begun by Democrats. It wasn't Nixon sent 600k troops to Vietnam. And Communists blood lost had to be responded to,it is still imperialism whether it is communist doing it or not. Unless you are one of those loopy 9/11 truthers, the US had to respond to 9/11. And it is scarcely the fault of the US that the Middle East has been a hostile anti democratic mess since about 650AD.

 

Really?

How many Republicans spoke out?

Why did 9/11 need responded to, especially with the invasion of Iraq? America interventionalism are just as responsible for 9/11 as the SAUDIS that perpetrates it.

I've given you a list of items that are just the tip of the iceberg. This is your commonality with Democrats- your tribalism vomits excuses for the actions of your authoritarian party.
