Default Re: A Critique of Rothbardian Natural Rights (sorta long)

[ QUOTE ]

ACists are not anarchists no matter how much they like to tag the wikipedia pages. There is no legitimacy to a property claim in a truly free society unless it is obtained through cooperation with others.

[/ QUOTE ]

First note that the second part of this paragraph, if true, does not prove the first half, nor does it imply it.

But let's go with it.

If there's no legitimacy without voluntary cooperation, then the claim that "everyone" owns resource X is ALSO illegitimate without voluntary cooperation. Just because YOU say everyone owns it (or that NOBODY owns it) doesn't mean that's true, especially if I disagree with you.

Now what?
