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

[ QUOTE ]
But "statists" entire belief system, at least in the political sense, isnt based on an a concept of absolute, inviolable property rights. Anarchists/libertarians do believe in that. Get it now?

But the value of the protection of property rights isnt absolute. Nobody is going to go shoot someone because there was a light put on their house. Retribution is still going to be a case of degree.

But I dont see what bothers you about absolute property rights? Does the idea of the welfare state being immoral bother you?
