Default Re: Why Im no longer an ACist

Absurd. Having a government undermines property rights in the first place. That said, some gov't somewhere might have done something vaguely resembling this - I don't know, I'm not a history expert

That you are not a history expert shows.

The protection of private property rights, and rights in general for that matter, is one of the principal ideas behind the modern state.

That practical ACism protects property rights better than a modern current state model is merely a hypothetical assumption. Which is probably why some posters here (myself included) feel that these debates most of the time just run on dogmatic fumes, both ways.
