I just put a debate on hold with an acquantaince until tomorrow and was just wondering if I could get some tips on how I should continue to dominate his arguments :D Help a brother out ;)
Just to show you how easy this might be, he tried to apply greed to communism:
ItWontBeLong89: the only reason anyone does anything is because they are greedy for happiness
He mainly believes that:
-Every transaction should be "voluntary"
[In response to this article: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1636382/posts]
ItWontBeLong89: but still, people are not entitled to housing
ItWontBeLong89: housing is a piece of property that needs to be given to them in a voluntary transaction
ItWontBeLong89: a trade where both members of the transaction know exactly what they are getting and are content with it
ItWontBeLong89: no force or fraud involved
ItWontBeLong89: if the creator of the house wants to voluntarily give the home to the worker who works a decent job, 40 hours a week he can
-U.S. is not capitalist because the government puts restrictions on the owners free trade. This doesn't have to relate to communism, I just want to prove him wrong.
-Child labor is OK in 3rd world countries -_-
ItWontBeLong89: if you go over there and say that what the company is doing is wrong, you are destroying that families only way to make money
ItWontBeLong89: its not the most opportune situation for the family
-Communism is morally OK but should be a voluntary transition
I told him the CEOs would never give up their riches and 10 mil a year and would hate not being better then anyone else.
I guess I'm just looking for something to kick him over the edge onto communism but he is a bit stubborn and maybe a bit crazy.
BTW I don't know much about it so could someone please explain some basics of anarcho-capitalism and if he is near the point. And feel free to IM him on AIM and preach away or IM me and we can chat if I have the time ;)
Thanks
P.S. I have already read the high school commie guide :)
