Default Re: Why Im no longer an ACist

[ QUOTE ]

However, he is also using a bit of a strawman by saying libertarians "don't care" about natural state. Just because you don't support state coercion to address natural state problems doesn't mean you don't care.

Just to be clear, I'm not agreeing with saying libertarians or ACists don't care. I just thought the rest of his point was a good one. I don't see anything wrong with expanding the definition of coercion. And the point works just as well IMO whether or not you call it "coercion". The point is that there are freedom-limiting factors that have nothing to do with coercion by moral agents. I like the argument, because I have socialist leanings, but I wouldn't expect minarchist or libertarian statists to like it much.
