If you asked him if he felt exploited by me he'd laugh at you. If you asked him if he felt exploited by Sammy he'd say hell yes.
There are many benevolent kingdoms such as Qatar (or China which isn't technically a kingdom)where the denizens would laugh at claims that they are abused or have no say in the political system.

Nonetheless this equality is built on benevolence, the power still remains in only one hand.

That's how you know when you own something.
Did you build the hammer with your body parts?

No, you just manipulated resources around you that are part of the public domain.

There are no states in Zapatista territory.


Freedom is a wonderful thing which is why the state always cracks down on it.

No matter, you will come to see things my way eventually, the facts are overwhelmingly (both historically and anecdotally) on my side.

The leftist movement is sorely underrepresented in CD. Join us.

Is he an ancap?

Or something like the sort?

Or is he just trying to make ends meet, without care for ideology?

The Zapatistas are Statists who have formed a competing State.

You don't see it because you believe since it's not a traditional State it isn't one.

Why don't you and your buddy take a stand and stop paying taxes? Your all talk no action stand up for your beliefs. I am sure since you are so intelligent and smart that the government couldn't possibly stop you.
