You have to keep in mind that even a rotten statist like Marx found time to be tempered and perhaps correct on something too.

He also knocked up his maid.

See folks, they can't be trusted.

Off to the reeducation camp for you, Comrade.

The State is full of lazy people with no incentive other than their own integrity to even do a mediocre job. I have seen it with my own eyes and been embarrassed by what I saw too many times to count. People put too much stock and trust in the government. I understand the point being made by our AnCaps on C_D but society is too far gone and too lazy to reverse the path. I choose to minimize the intrusion for me personally.

I get it but I expect better from you guys. I actually worked with a budding AnCap, in government no less, and he was also super chill younger guy. Funnier than hell too.

On a more serious note this is why culture and education are so important for freedom to thrive. If we can ever get there.

The laziness, the brainwashing...it has been going on since early childhood for all of us. We are taught obedience, authority, and violence to settle disputes or simply get what we want.

There isn't an an-cap in here who was born an an-cap (of course not...we signed the social contract at birth ...sorry couldn't help it).

And we all aren't fringe mountain men taking shifts with our "assault rifles" waiting for the government to attack.

We are normal everyday folks who simply extend how we live in our personal lives to the rest of the world. I mean...no statist in here could ever run their personal life like the State does its affairs. Nobody would want to live with you: not your wife, kids, parents, friends, nobody.

Respecting non-aggression and private property rights really is just the Golden Rule consistently applied.

"You must unlearn what you have learned."

Master Yoda said that and he's the baddest mo-fo in the galaxy.

Read the end of his post. There are people who believe the government should get out of the way and let the free market deal with regulations.
The theory is if enough people die from eating in a particular establishment others will learn from that and quit going there. After a while the bad restaurant will close.
That would do away with all the progress in safe food since 1862. They call that regulation, interference with the marketplace.
Here is a site about The Department of Agriculture:
https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal...utfsis/history

Judging by the dozen or so restaurants the local TV reports as cited weekly from State inspections as unsatisfactory, chaos would ensue, along with many deaths and illnesses.

Upton Sinclair was a motivating factor in the system of decent food we have today, among others. He was a socialist and is still hated by capitalists today. You should study him and his work:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...-meat-industry

Look for a BBC series about how Victorians killed themselves without any knowledge of chemicals and harmful elements in their lives. Without government control we would start all over again.

Yoda might be saying different, if he got the death s***s from eating an unhygienically prepared Bantha steak, from a Mos Esley street vendor -the Empire has it's place.
