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

[ QUOTE ]
Could you reply to my criticism I made of your argument about intentions earlier?

[ QUOTE ]
But Marxism is proven false both logically and empirically whereas ACism is not

[/ QUOTE ] Marxists do not agree with this, just as I think AC is proven false both logically and empirically (not directly, but through empirical observations of human behavior we can predict what would happen if AC was instituted) and you do not. They say that none of those countries follow Marx's theory and/or were not really socialist, for example.

[ QUOTE ]
change my mind if you can prove why I'm wrong to me

[/ QUOTE ] That's just the problem: for you, and for other rationalist utopians, there is no logical or empirical claim that can be said that will lead them to subjectively believe they have been "proven wrong".

[/ QUOTE ]

This is why you think "AC is proven wrong" - because what you think of when you use the letters "AC" is not what anyone else is thinking of. What you think of HAS been "proven wrong".

You can keep chanting the "utopian" smear, but it doesn't magically become true.
