It lets people of ambition and skill to climb up and make good fucking money and accumulate property at tax rates which are very favorable compared to socialist countries like Canada, France, and the UK where your salary is basically eviscerated by taxes so you can do well but never great. You also have pretty great autonomy over your business so you can fire and hire at will, negotiate benefits, and outsource your labor, whereas its nearly fucking impossible to do the same in France or Germany or any other state with strong worker rights. Also important is that America is a multiethnic state where if you're a white or chink, you don't want to set up a gibsmedat fund for fucking niggers and spics because fuck them, why should they eat from your sweat?

I'm not arguing capitalism isn't fucked, I'm just saying that to argue for minimal state control over an individual is very different to argue for everything inside and for the state, which is the definition of Fascism.

As for private property and wage labour, those will always exist, even in communistic states, the way real life works is very different from die hard socialist utopia. Most democratic socialistic countries nowaday such as the scandinavians have both of these things because for wealth to be distributed it must be generated on the first place.

>Wages must necessarily follow a linear path with productivity, even when said productivity has nothing to do with improved work on the part of the laborer.

I must know though what the author calls "productivity" and how he measures it. Odds are, all increases in "productivity" are actually increases in wealth which in fact is actually the result of speculators getting rich off of the Federal Reserve's largesse and credit bubbles.

That ancaps gravitate towards fascism. I literally seem them all the time. Just go on any Nazi music video on youtube and youll probably seem some ancap or libertarian flags in the comments praising them. Or the Pinochet worship for example even though executed tens of thousands without a trial. They orgasm at the thought of killing their political enemies. I don't like antifa either, that wasn't the point of the picture.

You were the one bringing /pol/ into this, you know, by whining about them in every thread...

There's a reason i am always nagging you on every thread, because you are more annoying than effective, that is if your mission is even to stop the stormfags, you are just coming off as buttblasted and for the lack of a better word "triggered".

Let them shit themselves and just ignore them, it's not like you are fighting a new nazi uprising, you are literally yelling at trolls who are loving your butthurt.

Take note, T. fellow Lefty.

>>3226172

Yeah I get it there are edgy kids who call themselves "ancap" without realizing what it really means (If you look at the actual ideology "ancap fascist" is a contradiction, just like "Communist corporativist".), also take note that not everybody interested on nazism and the history of WWII is an actual Nazi. For example i'm interested on the Africa theater because i'm from Algeria and my grandpa literally lived through it, same reason i'm also interested on the colonial French period despite not being a colonialist.

It won't, don't worry, if you see a fascist or a troll just ignore them, only engage if they are polite enough like in the one thread we had about fascism here a few years ago where fascists and non fascists managed to debate without shit flinging. As for /pol/acks, the same thing, just ignore them, it's not like everyone is forcing you to go to the threads they post, and it's not like anyone takes them seriously.

I think the people who are both ancap and fascist are people who are most likely american, and have confusion reconciling their Ron Paul and Trump hard-ons.

On a related note, I'm willing to bet most Trump supporters (not internet people) where Tea parties/Glenn Beck fans just a few years ago and they never stopped to think about how their past and current ideologies don't match up. Same reason why they didn't realize their social conservatism was at odds with their libertarianism-leanings.

Are you trying to imply that there haven't been countless historical and contemporary examples of traditional and pre industrial civilizations that were absent of wage labor and legal constructs protecting private property(absentee ownership, land capitalization) as well as industrial examples such as anarchist Catalonia, and the small pockets of mostly unrecognized anarchism to be found throughout the world?

It's a reaction to the more histerical,for the lack of the better word "college left" that permeates your country and doesn't really act like leftists but more like a spoiled elite of entitled brats who think themselves the absolute purveyours of truth and justice and saviours of the universe while they are actually a bunch of whining kids who still live with their parents and aren't much better than the "nazis" or "alt righters" they are supposedly against. I'm willing to guess that the way that these people act is one of the main thing driving those young people towards the populist right mainly because the college left won't let them address their issues and they find those right wing outlets the omly way for them to vent their frustration.

One can say the, for the lack of a better word "SJW" left in america is to blame for the country's push into the right.

Again, I'm born and raised in Algeria, a very conservative and traditionalist country, I know how conservatives act and their talking points (although our conservatives are a tad more extreme than yours), the best thing the left does right now is to dissociate themselves with the "SJW" people and try to address actual socioeconomic issues, identity politics on the american left is also a festering cancer that needs to be dealt with, i don't know much about your country but from my interactions online most american leftists are more worried about identity bullshit than about the problems of the poor or the growing unemployment and homelessness. Perhaps it's time to think back our strategies and act more logically if we want to stop nationalist populism in your country.

As for mine, well I kinda lost hope a while ago...

That means you abandon the fight and alienate your base? What kind of attitude is that? Sure it may seem hard but you still have to push it, there's a reason so many supported Bernie Sanders, it was because atleast from what it seems to me, A foreigner, he represented change from this system and the left in america could use people like that. People who actually reach into the small man and his struggles and not corporatists with a nice liberal facade that seems as plastic as it can be.

The alt right is the bastard child of the identity politics, and I think many in the american left are starting to realize that, as for you, It won't change no one's mind to shitpost about them 24/7 on an anonymous imageboard as if it's the most important threat to civilization.

The reason these right wingers are growing is because everytime you act repressively towards them, you are actually make them stronger and making them seem like a victim, Satyagraha is a thing and they're using it to its max extent. If you want to reduce the right's influence propose changes that will help the little man and the downtrodden, offer people what identitaries (both left or right) can't offer.
>>
The right wing always thinks they are the victim. 'War on Christmas' and such.
>>
>>3226599

Yes, the difference is, you guys are now giving them reason to think that way with the stupid identity bullshit. That's the main point you have to fix, get rid of identity politics and watch that sentiment slowly decline.

Also stop bringing your fights to fucking online imageboards for crying out loud, form a coalition, join a political party, do real action not whining that an imageboard doesn't cater exactly to your own tastes and worldviews.

You look as pathetic as them when you do that and this needs to change.

Rothbard has been given his due for being the progenitor of many of the modern libertarian and ancap schools of thought, but that doesnt mean he isnt heavily criticized for turning prow and heading down another direction entirely and, as I mentioned before, muddying the waters of the ideology.

Saying all right-liberal thinkers drift towards fascism because rothbard was a populist late in life is like saying all leftists drift towards self-criticisng revisionism because Orwell wrote Animal Farm, criticising the Marxist-Leninist.

Stop backpedaling towards stances that seem easier to defend and actually contribute a cohesive argument.

Free market has the same problems communism has. On paper it's quite perfect but in practice the people fuck it over.

Okay, even putting a pin in your retarded "warlordism" com commentent, how does this make a person who fully believes in mans capacity and right to self-ownership (and by extension his self-determination) an authoritarian in any way? Because an authoritarian regime popping up MAY be a possible consequence of people behaving in a way that avoids illegitimate coersion wherever possible? This entire method of reasoning reeks of false cause and the slippery slope fallacy.

This also doesnt address how individualism can be authoritarian if it is in its nature to reject all authority by adhering to the universal principal of negative rights, but from what I can tell either you dont know anything about the platform of individualism or hoped to not bring it up hoping that nobody here would bring it up.

Right wing anarchist thought can trace itself as far back as Frédéric Bastiats pamphlet "The Law" that he published in 1850

>"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it"

Because that issue does not lie with government, but free individuals.
No libertarian says it should be illegal to take care of old people; if anything they believe that you'd be better suited to care for the elderly if government got out of the way.

It's a fact of life that not everyone can take care of themselves. Government action does not eliminate this fact.

I thought you were talking about historical precedents of anarchist revolutions. What a fool I am for thinking that someone on /his/ would be informed enough to even misrepresent history.

Well if you are REALLY going to justify your anecdote as a critique of the corporations and wealthy then I would imagine you would also case to explain at just what point absentee ownership stops being an extension of a persons inalienable right to property.

Another thing that I would like for you to explain, given as to how you seem to take pride on being something of a /his/ buff, how fair employment is exploitation if both parties know all the terms and conditions of the deal before they agree to it. Does the exploitation stem from the worker not having property of his own to work? If so, what would be stopping him from using the accumulated capital from his job to purchase his own means of production to make a living off of?

Is it because being unemployed and without a means to produce is comparable to being under duress? This doesn't address the fact that in most job markets there are several job opportunities available and the unemployed have the ability to choose employers based on what sort of compensation they offer.

Another thing, even if you could reason that not giving people a means to live off of is comparable to murdering them and private property is comparable to theft then how do you ethically "redistribute" this property without resorting to authoritarian measures? Is simply owning something that could be considered private property, a vehicle repair shop for example, enough for people who dont own one to be moraly justified in robbing him of something that puts food on his table and clothes on his children?

If you want to even have a fucking leg to stand on when it comes to trying to defend the systematic denial of property rights then you had better fucking explain yourself along these terms.

It isn't authoritarian. You're free to fuck off whenever you please. I hate how people think that just by existing they're entitled to be fed and sheltered.

Because most of them are too uneducated to notice that capitalism is exploitative. The American ruling class has done a fantastic job at cucking the proletarians; in fact, so fantastic that they're not even aware they're cucked.

It's the biggest, most prosperous nation the world has ever known, which means that for a long time, there were many nooks and crannies in its economy for the dissatisfied to escape into and dissipate the tension normally required to fuel a rebellion or regime change. The people may not have consciously grokked the complete scheme by which they were disenfranchised, but they understood it at a gut level individually, and knew that they must wait patiently until the time was ripe for mutual action to foil it.

The thing is, Americans are increasing not for the free market anymore. It's pretty interesting how things are developing. Just look at the republicans and democrats now, Trump clearly got into the white house promising things like trade tariffs and cheep universal healthcare and other things seen as putting American workers over international competition, while Hillery was all about the free market.

In regards to the economy, Trump was left-wing and Hillery was right-wing, and the republicans voted for the lefty into the whitehouse (who then proceeded to forget about everything he promised but that's a different story).
