And it's a very useful abstraction with predictive and explanatory power.

Well fuck that guy. He ain't no Georgist. He's just a poser.

By taxing natural resources.

I could say the same about Ancaps and Dictators.
> Your stated goal is resource management. You don't even know your own goals and values.
Land value taxation accomplishes both of those goals. I do know what my goals and values are.
> we have competing options, and options to opt out
Nope, this is just more dishonesty for promoting your retarded political agenda.
You can't guarantee that your political corporations will provide opt-out options.
In fact, corporations wouldn't even exist without the free market to establish them.
> You explicitly say you would not allow secession.
We do allow secession. Secession from Russia, China, North Korea are all good in my book!
> or competition.
If you don't like living under the Canadian NAP, then move to America and live under the American NAP.
We do allow competition. And lots of it.

> By taxing natural resources.
You are too stupid and dishonest to have a conversation with. Wrong fag, you don't even know your own ideas. Your solution is to have a tiny central (global-)monopoly committee simply violently asserting who gets what, and what they're allowed to do. Taxes are just an irrelevant veneer to fog things. If you don't like what Gates is doing with the Amazon Rainforest, which he can probably easily buy, you'll just (violently) stop him. So simple, eh? Such a simple solution for such a simple mind. > He ain't no Georgist. He's just a poser That's what he'd say about you. You fags are so convincing ;). Meanwhile, in ancap land, we all basically agree on everything. That's the magic of principles. You should try it some time in your miserable confused life. > I could say the same about Ancaps and Dictators. True. And you did. And that's why you're a clown that nobody can take seriously. Freedom and optionality is the same as enslavement. Fuck your mom. > You can't guarantee that your political corporations will provide opt-out options No shit dumbass. Nothing in life is guaranteed, not even the promises of your gay master George. The market will provide whatever it wants. Currently "the market" (most individuals) want communism, like you, so that's what the market is providing. Once most people start respecting consent and justice, we'll the market will provide consent-respecting contract-respecting just services. Tautology. > Secession from Russia, China, North Korea are all good in my book Confused retard. So the thing that gave the US so many of the values that you (sometimes, incoherently) purport to value (gun rights, free speech, etc) ... you're somehow incoherently against that (even though it gave you all those things), but you'd support that in your "enemy" countries (you never explained why you're against Russia!) ... because you think it'll harm them - even though it helped the US. Your mind is a god-damned mess! > If you don't like living under the Canadian NAP, then move to America and live under the American NAP I addressed this point so many times you dishonest fuck. Why not unowned land? And, since it now turns out that you don't have any limits on land usage or resource usage (the only reason you gave to assure us that the whole Amazon wouldn't be chopped down, was that Gates wouldn't be able to afford it, not cuz there was any limit to how much land he could own, or what he could do with it), so since you don't seem to have any actual limits of land usage/distribution, why do you care so much if people live in unowned/unpossessed northern canada, or siberia, and do their own thing? |
