How does someone like I, who likes limited state intervention, but still wants some degree of education and health care so that people can make informed decisions and do so healthily, reconcile that? Is that fine, so long as there is no state?

I really don't like coercive laws at all. I don't like forcing people into things, like my students. I let them have their say and opinions, and believe truly that a good education can equip them for better involvement in politics. However, I can see the road it can lead down because not many teachers are like me.

Got a question for all of you. I'm a rather conservative centrist trying to align more with libertarian views, because the government runs things fucking terribly. I figured I'd start at the root of Libertarianism with the philosophical side, and have heard many good arguments that taxation is theft. But I'm also of the opinion that you cannot feasibly have society with anything less than the Minarchist "night-watchmen" state, and thus have been trying to figure out the philosophical basis for the justification of Taxation. Do any Minarchists here have an explanation for why taxation is acceptable when it is used to fund public courts, and how such a justification doesn't snowball into legitimizing all taxation? Or am I looking at it wrong and the governments authority to tax is legitimate but there is another reason to have small government? Thanks.

>>130599050
You should include examples of those who would be discriminated according to the position of the person you're arguing with. Ask a leftie "Wouldn't it be nice if you could live in your own covenant along with your gay sisters and friends and all the diversity and Muslims in the world? Wouldn't it be great to live without those white patriarchal oppressors? :^)" And once they say yes, you've already won. Unless you want to red pill them further and make them actually give up their love for diversity that is.
>>130599329

Yes. That's it. Run them in circles. Make them start from their first premise that all humans are beautiful and then ask them with a smug face how come they're for discrimination after all.

>2. The base, the core, the heart of the libertarian ideia, what it is?
Freedom from a coercive government, but not freedom from consequences. Everything is to be voluntary and without violence, with self-defense as a reasonably acceptable exception. Contracts are then key here for mutually beneficial agreements to establish order, with capitalism the engine for unlimited growth no longer held back by government. So it's not pussy pacifism, not silly "no hierarchy shit", and certainly not chaos for the sake of it. Everything would be largely the same: modern, clean, except that control is now back to the hands of the people and their private property to do as they please with it. No thought police, no arbitrarily imposed restrictions on what one can and can't do, and definitely no taxes.
I went on a tangent there, but as far as "the heart" of libertarianism, I would say it is simply at its core to maximize the freedom of an individual in its most natural state: self-ownership. A bit idealistic, but understand that violence is not wholly ignored either and armed citizens and private militias play an important role in Ancapistan.
>3. The biggest proof that the ideia works
Everything that you do, do you do it with government in mind? As individuals, we're all anarchists. A government does not dictate our thoughts, our actions, what we are to do with our free time. The idea of government in one's personal life is utterly abhorrent to most people and yet they also vote more government to interfere in the lives of its citizens. The biggest proof are the adults around you: doing as they please, what they want, when they want. Only a child would think they need supervision on every little thing.
>4. Any advice for someone who is learning?

No, you have assertions that you have failed to meet the burden of proof on.
>>130612572
What is the argument against the state being the owner of the land? The only one I've seen is that land must be "homesteaded", that is, put to use, for the land to be owned (assuming it was previously abandoned). But if the state is taxing people who live on the land, that is effectively renting, so isn't the state putting the land to use and thereby the owner of it? Furthermore, if we claim that the state does not own the land, then who does? Outside of very specific aboriginal land claims in the US and Canada I cannot really think of anyone who could claim traditional ownership outside of the governments themselves.
>>130609836
1. I don't know much history, so I can't answer this one.
2. The non-aggression principle and private property rights.
3. The burden of proof is not on libertarianism.
I'd suggest watching this video:

4. what advice do you want?
>>130613573
Well, the state itself already recognizes citizens as private property owners, so they don't even try to claim ownership over the land that they tax. How can you own something if you recognize someone else as the owner?
>>130614705
I've been thinking that it's more like leasing, since if you don't pay your property tax the government basically seizes your land from you, just like the repo-guys do when you don't pay your car loan.
hi guys
cant fucking wait to be out of uni. if was already working i could go to corax and pfs this year.
SOOOO JELLY OF WHO WILL ATTEND HOLY SHIT
>>130615080
But they already recognize the people they take from as property owners. Regardless, how can the state really own anything? States don't have rights, people have rights. Even if we agree that the people who were originally part of the state were legitimate property owners, that doesn't mean that the politicians today own the country. They didn't homestead anything, and they didn't inherit it.
>>130594700
(1) How so?
(2) Patents don't help innovation; they hinder it.
(3) is probably the most legitamite criticism; solved by having corporations own the set of municipal services for the city, and charging based on the value accruing to each property in the city
4) Not if whiny shitlibs are physically removed.

Under that logic, wouldn't companies be unable to own land (well, lease technically if we are considering the state the owner), since they are not people and do not have rights? I'm fine with with companies "purchasing" property to build businesses and structures on. If wallmart can buy a piece of land from an individual, why would the state not be able to own land? If institutional property rights exist, then the states taxation is justified. This line of thinking would mean that both individuals and corporations are basically trading property leased from the government, making taxation (the rent/lease/what have you) legitimate. Also for reference I'm a fucking leaf, so let's try and keep this conversation independent of American constitutional elements going forward (despite their contributions to the Libertarian movement).

Companies are able to own land because it's not the company itself that owns it; instead, it's the owner(s) of the company. Who owns the state, and can they pass it off as inheritance? (I would argue that the queen isn't really the owner; if she was, then she wouldn't be subject to the limitations that have been placed upon her by the constitution.)
>>130617657
>Companies are able to own land because it's not the company itself that owns it; instead, it's the owner(s) of the company.
But do they? When there are fees, damages or legal repercussions regarding the land it is always the legal responsibility of the company, and seldom the owner of the company. If the company fails to meet it's obligations then the owner of the company may be held responsible, but there is a fairly clear divide between company property and personal property for all company associated individuals, including the owner. This is why charges such as Embezzlement exist, which is the misallocation of company resources towards an individual, even if that individual owns the company in question. If a companies property was the same as personal property, then a company owner couldn't be charged with embezzlement unless they violated some very specific contract stipulation with an investor. If we assume this to be true, then institutional ownership exists, in which case there is no need for inheritance of government land since the institution of government itself continues to own it, regardless of the individuals involved. So I guess it's a question whether or not institutions can own things. I'd love to hear the opinion of a lawyerfag if I'm off base here.

I don't think institutions can really own property; however, your argument makes sense, and I could be wrong. The reason I don't think institutions can own things is because they don't have rights. Does an institution have the right to life? liberty? speech? No, they don't; They don't because they aren't people. People's rights, including property rights, are derived from their right to self-ownership, the right to control your own life. How would an institution have that right; how could it own itself when it's not alive. Objects don't have rights, so they can't own property.

>>130621035
A reasonable point to make anon, you might be right. However I think I disagree. It's true that an individuals right to own property comes from their innate rights (life, liberty, speech ect) but I think it's different for institutions. What really is an institution? The answer is that it's an imaginary thing. It's not the people who own it, the people who work for it, nor the people who invest it in; although an institution may have responsibilities to all those people based on contract law ect. An institution is an imaginary hierarchical system to which the people who invent it ascribe rights or responsibilities. Companies can own property because they are created with the intent of owning property to facilitate some purpose. I think, philosophically, we as people give life to our creations that they may serve us in some way. I think government is the same way, and this institution of government has been owning and leasing their countries in exchange for tax money, and that this institution is as legitimate as walmart is legitimate or McDonalds is legitimate or anything else. Or at least the law regarding company property certainly seems support this. This is why Libertarianism is so difficult and so full of nuance. An Anarchist can claim the government isn't legitimate if they believe that property cannot be owned by anyone other then individuals. But a Libertarian must acknowledge the legitimacy of government, and then persuasively argue why it shouldn't do things with it's legitimate authority. And that's fucking hard.

I need to go to sleep soon, so this will be my last serious post.
An institution has to be created by an individual or multiple individuals. Since creating something makes you the owner of said thing (in the case of children it makes you the trustee), the creator(s) of the institution must be the owner(s) of it. Since there is an owner of it, that must mean that whatever it does is done by the will of the owner. If a new Walmart opens up (and owns the building, instead of leasing it), the owner of the building is not truly Walmart; the owner would be the stockholders. My point is that an institution is a piece of property; how can property own other property?
I'm going to sleep, so I'm going to link to one of my favorite libertarian shitposting channels on youtube.

>>130623882
You could be right, I don't think I have any more thoughts then what I've already posted. But if you're right, and institutions cannot own property, then no taxation is legitimate, which means no Minarchist government is legitimate. And frankly I'm not settled on that point.
Either way, it was good talking to you, have a good night Anon.

And you must be this so-called superior man, huh? One can impose duties on himself and still value his right. What you want is the state to impose duties on men; does that make them superior? No, it means they are slaves. Inferior men allow themselves to be slaves, while the superior man imposes duties on himself on his own terms.
