    the great guartzian paradox: he desires a system in which the 12 Jew Bankers would have unlimited power.

    isn't it? Much better then pointing a gun at somebody and forcing them to be charitable with the wealth they accumulated.

    No it's...not? Hard to break it down other than "nuh-uh" against someone who thinks this is a good idea.

    For starters, children get fucked over by inequality even more royally in this system than they do in the current one.

    Really? Giving to charity at behest of a gun is worse than giving to the personal benefit of the guy pointing a gun at you?

    And that mentality would somehow be capable of ensuring the general welfare and equality of society. Man I love it, tell me more guartz.

    Not true, if the child has no parents and for some reason and has no access for charity then yes. But it's no different then most non-western countries today. (I won't get into government exploitation that causes these things to come about, since that's tedious)

    Never said that. But notice how getting mugged and paying taxes is so similar.

    And what about the children born to dirt-poor parents who basically live in a state of indentured servitude? They won't be getting more fucked over compared to the children of the elite in an anarchocapitalistic society? Really? Really? Man I love it, keep it coming guartzy.

    Notice how private police and defense forces is moreso similar to straight up getting mugged rather than the exchange of money for services in a tax system.

    Re: Governator cutting education funds!!

    you can keep asking me, or you can just read the wiki where all these questions are addressed. Almost every anarchy philosopher points out these common questions.


    edit: I'm going to bed, i'll answer these questions tomorrow if your too lazy to read wiki and follow sources.

    Re: Governator cutting education funds!!

    The answer is a far greater leap of faith than the one required necessary for state capitalism/state socialism/capitalism hybrid (being able to put some level of trust in a representatively accountable government).

    I'll just point out that Feudalism is nothing more than a family business.

    Why is Blue Gartr's General Discussion section such a draw for the self-proclaimed greatest philosophical minds of our time?

    Re: Governator cutting education funds!!

    You know... I don't think it would be such a terrible idea if certain kids were not forced to stay in school until they were 16, and instead they got to learn what it's like to have a job in the real world.

    Anyways, to even suggest that public elementary/secondary schools overall are doing anywhere near an adequate job is rather laughable. Today's system is most likely as bad or worse than any free-market solution considering a family's income determines where they live, so poor families typically get relegated to generally worse schools and have no other option.

    Honestly I think it's a cultural problem as much as a structural one, but if anything the system should be adjusted to be more like overseas education systems that fully fund education and tie the money to the student so you're not trapped based on where you live, considering they pretty much own U.S. performance rates across the board.

    Edit: To Elmer: It's obviously because I'm on these boards, hence a meeting of the fates has chosen this as the stage for such eloquent musings.

    Re: Governator cutting education funds!!

    And I'd never argue that our current compulsory system is anywhere near perfect; I just feel that the system in concept is necessary. tbh I think education being a federal matter (at the very least in funding) could solve the regional/location issues we currently have where entire districts are blighted by local economics.

    I guess some people enjoy discussing politics and philosophy as much as others enjoy translation? idk
