LOL. "If you can type, you can make a video." So the Libertarian didn't even have the decency to use his own labor to make the video? Libertarians are such uncreative assholes.

This video also assumes that when you buy land it has never been appropriated in an unfair way or stolen from someone else, which is a flaw in Libertarian thinking. It makes much more sense to own the land democratically, and it stays a part of the commons. Also, the Libertarian assumes you can buy such appropriated land, which is equally bull for the reasons stated above.

Once labor is free, then you own what you create, and receive more goods based on your own contributions.

"
what? I am unemployed at the moment along with a good portion of the american population. "

ohh. pppppfffffffffffttttttttt......

Why doesn't this libertarian learn to program or do "graphic design" at one of those technicaly schools instead of sitting and masturbating to the idea of oppressive capitalist overlords.


It's funny - i've NEVER met a Libertarian who's actually run a successful business. I wonder why that is. (Austrion economics.)

The video's right. Bill Gates clearly did 10,000,000,000,000,000x more labor than anyone else. /sarcasm

Defending private property rights because you believe they are better than any alternative system is one thing. But claiming that the market rewards according to labor performed is absurd, and just displays a fundamental ignorance about economics.

Just because person X makes 1000000 time more then person Y in money doesn't mean person X did 1000000 more in labor then person y.

What it means is that the Labor person X does is worth a lot more then the Labor person Y does.

Example, the Labor a Brain Surgeon does is worth a lot more then the Labor a janitor was.

If you invent the cure for Aids and work on making that cure your labor value will probably be high.

You need to get out of this idea that we are all equal because we are not.

Sorry but posting a thread with just a video with no elaboration at all is not an acceptable post for the forum, I.E. please don't do it again.

This forum is for your thoughts, for you to ask questions or make arguments for your views (emphasis on you and yours). By all means post a video for people to view in support of your argument or just as additional info, but less than that is just political spam/advertising.

He's actually a Anarcho Capitalist I think.

Why dont you have the decency of making your own internet and your own forums to post your reply?

So in all fairness we should just give all this land to the Indians right? i mean they were here first.

Free Labor? What exactly do you mean by that? Might as well say free slavery?

Ill tell you one thing, if someone comes to me demanding I give them free labor all they will get is free lead.

So I have no right to eat because I don't labor in agriculture or own land to grow food on?

Libertarians/"anarcho-Capitalists" are selfish jerks who just like to revel in their inability to function as social beings.

There are no such things as rights. The majority can do whatever they please. Get used to it or go live in the woods or something.

Someone should have mentioned this to an admin???

Anyway, i've banned the account - it was, as you suggest, a sockpuppet for CaptainCapitalist.

As such, thread closed.
