Re: My \"Political Philosophy\"
[ QUOTE ]
Can we recognize coercing people into things they do not want as a problem?

Yes? I really dont understand what you're doing in this thread. You appear to not be interested in responding to what I asked (which is fine obviously) but then keep trying to make me ask something else. I've already said I'm sympathetic to the goals of AC but skeptical that it will lead to a society I would want to live in. Consequently I ask for some speculations or suggestions as to how a bunch of problems may be solved in a world without government. We can follow these cryptic answers as far as you like - I'm still going to want to know if there is even a possibility that those will be solved...

You just admitted that, as being one of the coerced, you recognize that the state in fact does not care about your needs at all.
[/ QUOTE ]
No I didnt. Life is more complicated than that. Perhaps it cares about some of my needs but not others? Or perhaps it cares about some of my needs but prioritises others higher? I think that's pretty likely (though again could you clarify whether it is meaningful to say "the state cares..." or not? You've called me on that before I think and said it doesnt even make sense to talk of a state caring)
[ QUOTE ]
You say you want to live in a world without violence but you give moral support to the state who coerces you for the benefit of others. Something is wrong there.
[/ QUOTE ]
What moral support do I give?
