I do hope I'm not being implicated as one of these people.

nope, just people who think having a reasonable approach to dissolving the government is the same as not being a real anarchist

though it was funny to see Alpha Centauri insinuate that my arguments pro-anarchy are really support for his arguments anti-anarchy. I assume that means I'm doing a good job?

Stop accusing me of being an anarchist.

Guess what, all other political philosophies can have the same said for them. There is no science of governing people.

Which makes it fairly dangerous to make claims about any "best" system.

I believe you're affectionately known as 'that ****'.

agreed? 😕

almost implicit in what I believe is the fact that I can only speak for myself.

I am not exactly sure what the differences between his and mine are, really.

[edit] I guess he finds the word socialist less distasteful, then again I believe he uses it incorrectly

I used socialist more in spirit than in literal meaning. I guess it refers to the fact that I'm not necessarily against some sort of compulsion for people to donate to social services.

If we don't disagree, wicked. I don't feel we fall too far away even if we do. I only stressed the difference to elaborate that there are many different types of anarchists, and that the fatalistic picture being painted of what people sort of assumed anarchy meant was not necessarily in line with any type of anarchy.

Isn't that what taxes are?

That's not very nice.

But it is affectionate. Do you hate love?

no? I can see where you would be confused, but voluntary social compulsion is a little different than forced at threat of loss of liberty.

The problem is you can't count on enough wanting to donate. So taxes are the only other option.

obviously we still disagree on this point

by the way, do you, on hand, have a point by point budget allocation and collection summary that you could present here for what you believe in?

So money doesn't exist in your world?

that is sort of my point

not to mention my argument is not that donations can take the place of taxes.

But I believe we are talking about government budgets. Which, indeed, wouldn't exist.

If donations can't then some form of taxation must exist to insure these services are there and available to everyone.
