Who cares? His arguments for anarchism are brilliant.

What arguments for Anarchism?!?!Where the fuck have you seen arguments about Anarchism?
Yeah what that guy said sounds weird if you want to sue or whatever he tried to do(didi he said he is an Anarchist, because if he was he wouldnt getting to jurys etc) and out of capitalist reality, but still what Anarchism has to do with that and you get so excited about the omgz brilliant agrumentz?

It appears this guy's an "anarcho"-capitalist.

So no. He didn't make a good argument for anarchism, if by "anarchism" he means ancapism, because ancapism is NOT anarchism.

Here's an interesting critique of his philosophy.

The objectivity of moral claims has a long pedigree going back to Aristotle. Molyneux is more than a moral theorist.

Does he get on to anarchism at any point? I kind of switched off between the bit where he clarifies what "literally" means ("I literally dropped my cheerios, that's not a euphamism I actually dropped them.") and the bit where he started talking about state owned "fascist" corporations which is when I switched it off entirely and went to do something more interesting, like watch a snail traverse my garden. So yeah, when does he mention anarchism? From what I've seen of the replies he's some kind of capitalist loon though. Ho hum.
