Property is theft
One can’t help but wonder if people here have sophisticated ideas on Proudhon, or just really no clue at all about anything.
Are you talking about me or about the people up and downvoting my comment?
I wouldn’t call my knowledge about Proudhon sophisticated and I’m not interested in him enough to investigate further. At one point, I tried to read the book where the quote is from, but didn’t get far. The introduction and the comparison with slavery is murder is the most important thing I think and after that, well, I really tried.
Dear libertarian: if taxes are theft, what do you think of surplus value?
this is super spammable. You could use it with vegans, bicycleists, standing desk proponents, free software enthusiasts, apple fanboys, anything. Its the ultimate meme!
But now you’re stuck in the woods with a libertarian. You’re worse off than before.
By speaking aloud in the woods I have mixed my labor with the land, and am therefore entitled to claim ownership. The libertarian is obliged to respect my private property and vacate the area before they violate the NAP by trespassing. By claiming the woods, I’m also no longer lost: I’m home.
