Re: Why Im no longer an ACist
1a) In the only country I am really familiar with (the US), state government and its corruption are the foremost cause of poverty.
b) There is no reason that a voluntary solution can't work to fix this. Why does it have to be involuntary? (I am guessing the response will end up being "because people don't agree with me and we need to force them to make the world like I want it)
2. What in God's name do you think will make the state capable of figuring out these asymmetries where incomplete information exists? Giving people this power opens the door to corruption, and whoever gets to choose this will probably just use it as a tool to further their own ideological or monetary interests.
3. So what you are advocating is just pure asset redistribution?
