Default Re: Why Im no longer an ACist

Kaj,

It seems to me like those kinds of arguments assume that someone who does not own any land in a society with property rights is somehow being disenfranchised, and the implication seems to be that even staying alive under this arrangement should be difficult, since you will always be trespassing on someone else's property and of course they are going to be shooting at you for these indiscretions.

How do the millions of US citizens who do not own (or claim to own) any land survive? Why aren't they constantly dodging bullets?

I am making no such argument.

Again I am only pointing out that what one might perceive as a "universal" (the golden rule) does not necessarily imply a respect for all property rights ("legitimate" ones by capitalist definition).

The rest of the implication you are making is your own imagination, not mine.
