LOl. You have to wonder which capitalists here are from those forums.
And Afcore is nothing but a bunch of idiotic trolls who have nothing better to do than sit on the internet and lie all day. Originally, they were affiliated with Protest-Warrior, but they are such morons that many of them got kicked off that site, hence the name change.
Anti-State really isn't worth the trouble to bother with, and you get kicked off of vonMises forums pretty easily. Look up "Nathyn"'s username on that forum, who was banned (http://anti-state.com/forum/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=20421) simply for noting how they are actually collectivists. (And here (http://anti-state.com/forum/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=20348) are the "anti"-statists getting owned.)
It would make far more sense and be a far better use of your time to post on forums such as philosophyforums, math forums, wherever politics may come up, and represent the leftist, anti-capitalist point of view.

Arguing with Misoids is mostly an exercise in futility. They tend to view socialists as scum (in fact, many times using "socialist" as an invective in and of itself). I like to talk with people who disagree with me, but I wouldn't even waste my time with them.

Mises actually believed that "socialism" is where one party, group or leader controls everything in society, and that all economic activities go through said leader. :laugh:

'Lets say a dying man named Jim washes ashore after a shipwreck only to find that the whole island has been claimed as someone's private property. Island-owner Bob points his shotgun at the poor, desperate man and tells him that he is trespassing. Bob tells Jim to go back into the sea because he has the "legitimate right" to force the dying man off of his "justly" owned property. Jim desperately pleads with the island-owner to let him stay and tries to point out that there is plenty of land and resources for the both of them. A large portion of the island isn't even being used. It is going to waste. Jim promises not to interfere with island-owner Bob's affairs and promises that he will only consume the land and resources that he can personally occupy and use. Jim will only consume what he himself has labored to produce. He will steal nothing from Bob.
Still wielding the shotgun, island-owner Bob decides that he is not satisfied with Jim's offer, but he is willing to "negotiate." Bob tells Jim that he can stay as long as he follows orders and hands over a proportion of the food, clothing, tools, and shelter that he labors to gather and produce. Without any other real alternatives, Jim "voluntarily" agrees so that he isn't shot dead or forced off the island where he wouldn't have access to the means of survival. Now, Jim isn't only going to be providing for his own survival, but he is also providing for Bob's survival. Jim is going to have to work (http://click.adbrite.com/mb/click.php?sid=251381&banner_id=11823339&variation_id=861514&uts=1207721374&cpc=302e303538&keyword_id=20632&inline=y&zk_id=2124808&ab=168165453&sscup=f1e51f66f4fe52a7284304f1d5c4ecea&sscra=c25ee5a7945bf48d04d5920a93f85bd0&ub=1202335477&rs=&r=) a lot harder, while Bob can sit back and do next to nothing while reaping the benefits of Jim's labor.Ouch. Reilly finished the defense of private property - and capitalism - using two paragraphs.
Unfortunately I've frequented all of these forums, including protestwarrior. If Dejavu types are the the last line of intellectual defense for capitalism, with their remarks about "socialism being collectivism," (and then going on to plagiarize someone else's work) I'm a little disappointed. I would really like to see Ray defend how non-corporations are less hierarchal than corporations when sole proprietorships grant 100% ownership.
I also recommend freesteader.com. There I was called a statist because I said I didn't want someone else's loud music from down the street pentrating my bedroom walls at 3 o-clock at night. Apparently I should buy 30 acres of land, and if someone acquires one of those storm alert signals, tough luck. :laugh:

Communism is a sickness, a degeneracy that must be exposed every time it spews it's sick venom of lies and poison.
I agree dude!
Next future war: North Korea
You're obviously a very un-informed person if you seriously think that North Korea is NOT a communist country!
The forum leader doesn't even want to debate communists. How pitiful. At least OI members have the gonads for some debate.

LOL I spent years on that forum, the site owner is a guy named Keith Bowden, he is quite weird !!
His was the very first internet forum i ever visited and joined.
btw he would remember me i think.
actually his site is quite childish and doesnt argue against communism very well. actually doesnt argue it at all. There are capitalists here who argue it much better than Keith Bowden does.

On the "Anti-Communist Action" homepage:
Welcome to the website of Anti-Communist Action. Our purpose is to expose and oppose the very real threat of Communism. Despite reports on TV and in the newspapers, Communism is not dead. It is alive and well and growing stronger all the time.
