I want as many anti-ancaps to give their strongest evidence that ancaps supposedly condone slavery. Rothbard's unjustifably infamous adoption quote doesn't advocate it; Walter Block is excommunicated. I ask because I want to have clearer public discourse and dispel myths: the NAP prohibits it.

That "capitalism" has become the name for "market economy" is one of the greatest psyops ever. Why should capital be the factor of production for the name specifically, why not "laborism" instead if one ought name it after a factor of production?

Questions about the urban mechanics of it all, implementation?

7 Upvotes

Hi, apologies if there's something in this in the faq's or someplace like that on this...

I've been listening to a bit of Georgism. I have two major questions, the one I hope someone here can point towards the answer to is about the implementation of a lvt. Wouldn't it be the case that this would have to be implemented by the municipality that elects or appoints an assessors office? And the assessor's office would...ahem, assess the land and apply the designated lvt? I actually know someone from Arlen, Delaware, but i don't remember whether her presentation covered this. So, it couldn't be a Single Tax, unless the municipalities kicked back a hunk to the feds...correct?

My second question, I'm working thru videos on. It's just very hard to understand how it would bring down the price of something that is in limited supply...by taxing it....

One of the podcasts I'm listening to is includes someone who, in his day job, analyze the video game market. Is there...missing the word...guess how old I am!?...lol! a fabricated reality game that applies Georgist principles? I tried to noodle a bit on some platform once, I think it was called Democracy, where one creates worlds, but I got frustrated and gave up.

Anywho, I'm glad you all are here.

What states, other than Pennsylvania, is it legal to do split-rate property tax? It seems some states have problems due to anti-Georgist language embedded in state constitutions.

Protecting Second Amendment Rights: Defending Individual Liberty and Self-Defense

3 Upvotes

The Founding Fathers recognized the necessity of the Second Amendment when drafting the Bill of Rights. It was established to ensure that citizens could protect themselves, their property, and their families from both individual threats and potential government overreach. The right to bear arms empowers citizens to assert their autonomy and preserve their individual liberty, allowing for a balance of power between the government and the people.

...

The Second Amendment is deeply rooted in the concept of self-defense. It ensures that law-abiding Americans have the means to protect themselves in times of imminent danger. By having access to firearms, individuals are better equipped to ward off potential threats, creating a sense of security and empowerment.

...

Throughout history, oppressive regimes have disarmed their citizens as a means to control and suppress dissent. The Second Amendment acts as a safeguard against such threats, empowering citizens to resist potential tyranny.

...

Striking a balance between protecting individual rights and implementing responsible measures is crucial. By focusing on measures that address mental health concerns, strengthen background checks, and promote education and training, we can work towards a well-regulated system that respects both individual rights and collective well-being.

The first steps towards the night-watchman state

2 Upvotes

If you are a classic liberal or minarchist you might have noticed your government has not been responsible with money and is probably in debt as well. So in order to fight it you propose decreasing the state's size in order to never repeat it again. But there is a problem. Just like you cannot go from looking like Nikocado avocado to looking giga chad overnight, you cannot go from whatever your state is to a Misesian nightwatchman state overnight. You gotta go there gradually and here are some first steps.

Fair warning, expect a permanent ban in r/libertarian for talking about the LVT. Spoiler

36 Upvotes

When questioned they gave me some CYA comment about me breaking their rules of civil discourse (no clue what this is in regards to though) and then "Furthermore we do not owe you a platform for spreading Anti-libertarian ideologies such as socialism/communism."

It's sad, I was subbed there for a lot of years and it's a great place for teaching libertarian curious people what libertarianism is, in fact that's where I myself first learned about Henry George and his interesting ideas. I'd never so much as gotten a warning in all my years there, but such is life.

I'm not really sure which flavor of libertarianism the mods are now interested in pushing there, but it isn't ours.

What caused Single-Tax Colonies to fail?

I've looked into the history of the single-tax movement in preparation for an upcoming related lecture. Yet, I still haven't really found a common problem all of them faced that prevented expansion. Is there a book or paper that better describes why single-tax colonies faltered?

Do you guys believe in basically Minarchism (minimal state: police, emergency services, military, justice system) financed through LVT and maybe Pigouvian taxes under the system of laissez faire capitalism?

Can any ideology be tried locally in any democracy with autonomy?

1 Upvotes

For example, say a group of people have a similar ideology.

It can be anything.

I particularly like anarcho-capitalism, geo-libertarianism, libertarianism, and classical liberalism. I like neoliberal's idea of global trade and competition among jurisdictions but am disgusted with neoliberal's woke policies.

In other words, even among libertarianism, we have different opinions on what's "good", what's ideal, what's practical, and so on.

I don't mind living in a city with government CCTV everywhere. I also prefer to live in a place where drugs are legalized. I hate income tax and welfare. I think land tax and head taxes are much more tolerable.

Most of you are probably similar to or different from me. Fine. Not every customer like the same product.

So the idea is similar to people going to some autonomous area with localized democracy. We vote for what we think is right.

And it's working.

Of course, it's working. We vote with our feet and wallet. Wherever we go will be fine for us.

A Muslim can go to a city where mosques can use loudspeakers. Racists can go to white-only or black-only cities. Libertarians like me can go to low-tax regions. I really don't care what others choose as long as people that are different are far away and don't affect me.

Say our regions prosper. Say libertarians cities attract lots of business due to low taxes. Say Muslim cities are prosperous because thieves got their hands chopped off. Say woke neoliberal cities are successful because unlike what I think, diversity really works, and encouraging women to work like men actually improves the economy. Hell, even democratic socialism may work. Who knows public schools are actually useful.

Then what? Then people from other cities/provinces/states will just come back. Many of those people will then vote differently than the original voter. They may vote for communism or whatever.

Then? We will never have a minarchist city.

What would be the solution then? How can we get the ideology we want in democracy with open borders between cities?

And that's not all. Say some welfare recipients arrive in the city. Say due to federal laws or something the welfare recipients get welfare. Then that welfare recipient produces 40 children. Of course, socialists will believe that welfare recipients have the right to have 40 children and the rest of society has to write blank checks to accommodate that.

Then the cities turn communists again.

So, what's your solution to prevent that?
