couldn't you just program some moral rules/law for assigning work through some assessment of the body and mind. and people could refuse work if they wanted, other people could treat them how they want if they do. feed them or not. and maybe just go live in a community they know would feed them. housing really isn't that hard, it's the power. gas, water and food are abundant.
I think it's ridiculous when people think "automated work posting" means you can't say no and it turns into an unrealistic and ridiculous dystopian novel.

Workers, as in the average person, doesn't want to or isn't capable of leading a group and taking care of production themselves. Your idea doesn't work on the scale of modern industry. It has to be small and isolated to work.

i don't really understand accumulating capital, maybe that would be a better place to start for me so I can understand egoist anarchy or egoist anything a little more.
all I understand it as is a comfort for the time you're alive. I don't think it's existential, not a way to hold onto life because you don't want to die, but I guess it could be about wanting to not suffer by not having enough. but then wealthy people only need a fraction of what they have to have the comfort to keep from suffering. And I don't understand why, as a society, we wouldn't try to keep all people from suffering (the social contract works to do that, usually. I mean, when you think of why the first society came together, we still work off that same premise, but don't really think about it so it gets lost and we go back to a more primitive culture)
>>
>>27930910
Maybe read Stirner. You seem to have an issue with the underlying philosophy

Basically, what you're saying is:
>wealth generates comfort
>everyone wants to be comfortable
>there's a limit to the amount of comfort you can purchase, whereas there's no limit to the amount of wealth you can accumulate
Therefore, you're asking that the wealthy be stripped of some of their wealth in order to provide comfort to the non-wealthy.
Is that it?

I fundamentally disagree with that
Might makes right, the strong are deserving, etc. There's no reason for anyone who doesn't deserve wealth to obtain it - and "wealth" can be replaced by anything else here: what you don't earn (inheritance counts as earned, by the way), you cannot claim. It doesn't matter if it's money, food or whatever

Basically, my property is mine. You have no right or claim over it, regardless of your condition.

>Therefore, you're asking that the wealthy be stripped of some of their wealth in order to provide comfort to the non-wealthy.
that's absolutely what I'm saying. mostly because the excess wealth doesn't bring more comfort.

>There's no reason for anyone who doesn't deserve wealth to obtain it
that makes sense, I consider "wealth" to be any form of capital, so I gotcha.
>Basically, my property is mine. You have no right or claim over it, regardless of your condition.
I get that, but I think that means there shouldn't be public property at all. No public roads unless they were donated to the community, no nothing. You'd have to pay tolls to use someone's road, if they even want to let anyone else use it.

I fundamentally disagree with might makes right too, because I don't think my property is mine anyways, no matter how hard I worked for it. I don't mean then, that it's someone elses (the state, the community or society, etc.) I just don't think anybody owns anything. They just use it until it's expired its function or they stop using it. Then someone else can choose to, or choose not to.

Have a problem with the philosophy? To understand egoism you need to read about it

>excess wealth doesn't bring more comfort
Doesn't matter. The wealth belongs to the wealthy, they've earned it. You have no right to claim it's yours, because you didn't earn it.

>there shouldn't be public property
Yes, exactly. Everything would be private property.
>pay tolls
Yes, or choose not to use that road. Either way, if you follow the ancap way of thinking, the NAP (non aggression principle/non-initiatory use of force) tells you that the freedom to roam is a thing, and that passing through private property in order to get somewhere else shouldn't be treated as aggression. But that's a specific issue anyway, it's not really relevant here.

>might makes right
It's the only true law, though. Nature shows you that the strong survive. The problem right now is that most people have been led to think the strong and the weak are equal, and that therefore, the weak should be given shares of what the strong have. This is stupid and destructive

>I just don't think anybody owns anything
That's more of a philosophical issue, again.
Do you think you own yourself (your ego) and your own body?

that makes sense, I like that. I figure people honestly wouldn't mind that much anyways.

>It's the only true law, though.
I don't agree, it can be overcome. It seems like a hindrance to freedom rather than a freedom, to me.
>The problem right now is that most people have been led to think the strong and the weak are equal
I think there ought to be an awareness of our differences, but it shouldn't be framed in the lens of a hierarchy. What warrants "shares" when it comes to necessity, or even to desires (non-suffering and/or a basic level of comfort) I don't think strength or weakness determines anyone's "deserving" of them.
but, in a kind of opposing sense, I don't think anyone deserves anything. Good or bad, no matter how much work they do, or how lazy they are.

>Do you think you own yourself (your ego) and your own body?
I don't. I think I, in part, am my body so I have a different relationship to it, but I don't own it. Even my mind isn't "mine", it's just part of me, something I use (although nobody else really can)

On what level? it's perfectly functional, it just doesn't correspond to the egalitarian view of human interaction. It's more "feral" in a way.

>it can be overcome
How?
>It seems like a hindrance to freedom
Not really. Or rather, yes, but only to those who are too weak to be free in the first place, if you want to extrapolate

>it shouldn't be framed in the lens of a hierarchy
It depends on what kind of hierarchy you're establishing. Anarcho-capitalism and forms of egoist anarchism are proponents of "meritocratic hierarchies", in a way, since the individual's position and standing entirely depend on his ability.
>I don't think strength or weakness determines anyone's "deserving"
I think you're focusing too much on the underlying meaning behind these words.
The strong (those who have the ability to thrive) are able to claim more than the weak (who are unable to succeed). Those who can acquire and protect what they claim to be their property "deserve" to keep it under natural law.
>I don't think anyone deserves anything
Again that depends on your definition of "deserving".

>I don't
Why? I don't understand.
If anything, your body is the first thing you own.
>isn't "mine"
>it's just part of me
I don't see how these two are mutually exclusive.
I see property as whatever you can claim as yours and then protect. That's not a strict definition, just a vague frame, of course.
Property itself can hardly be defined, since there's no natural way to determine ownership: therefore, anyone can claim anything as theirs as long as they have the means to obtain and defend it, for example
Would you agree to that?

Sorry for the late answer, by the way

>>27932041
>people who geniunely believe that the poor deserve to die are bad
Could you elaborate on that?
Why wouldn't the poor and, by extension, those who are unable to thrive in a given environment, be handed the means to survive?

that's what i mean, it's primitive i think. like, it seems like it wouldn't be human enough for people to continue doing it.

>How?
sharing and choosing to disobey that law by replacing it with someone like a responsibility to care for one another.

>Not really. Or rather, yes, but only to those who are too weak to be free in the first place, if you want to extrapolate
I agree with that from your view, but to elaborate a bit I mean that it would hinder the strongs freedom by reducing their access. I think. To humanity, to one another, and to a lot of cognitive stuff because so much of their focus would be on protecting their stuff.

>It depends on what kind of hierarchy you're establishing. Anarcho-capitalism and forms of egoist anarchism are proponents of "meritocratic hierarchies", in a way, since the individual's position and standing entirely depend on his ability.
That makes sense to me, but I mean all these systems have some kind of value system put on someone's ability to labor, engineer, etc. wherever they put their work. That notion makes the "government" (or not, whatever it is) even more particular, and makes a hierarchy based on "ability to run a business" more than it is "ability to work with metal".
I'm kind of thinking about an invisible hand or some consumer based force that would determine a skills worth. It makes it contextual, and I don't think humanity's want to not suffer is contextual at all.

>I don't see how these two are mutually exclusive.
they're not, but I'm saying there is a misconception that because it's part of you it is *causally* yours. some people believe in christian values, so they claim it as their identity, not just something they identify with. or any other religion, philosophy, etc.

i definitely am. that's just what I come from though. language is really fun to me, also just really fucking stupid cause none of it really means anything.

>The strong (those who have the ability to thrive) are able to claim more than the weak
that makes sense, I think deserving was a bad move for me because, although I'm saying nobody deserves anything, I'm also saying humanity comes with some wants, and everyone "deserves" to have those (not suffering is usually what I'm talking about). I just think that the function of a collective "humanity" exists (we can understand the idea of it cognitively) in order for us to navigate each other and, hopefully, reduce unnecessary suffering. I don't understand why we would do that for each other, though, I just believe it's right to try. I wonder about why I believe that often, and I think it's because I've agreed to do that as a group. I feel as though some egoist governments or economies do the opposite, and so I oppose them. I try to look through egoist philosophy lenses to understand why the hell I care about preventing suffering for others, though. It's hard.

>Why? I don't understand.
>If anything, your body is the first thing you own.
I just think it's the first thing you use. Ownership isn't some phenomena that's just in the ether, it's a kind of biological thing that only exists, I think, in order to survive. Once you know there's abundance though, you can share without having to fear for life. I think that's what's hindered by private property; you still fear.
>>
>>27933132
>it wouldn't be human enough for people to continue doing it.
It doesn't disqualify charity as a legitimate means of acquiring wealth and comfort.

>a responsibility to care for one another
But that responsibility would be a hindrance and would limit the freedom of those who don't want to help others.

>reducing their access
Oh you were talking from a purely practical point of view? I guess that's true, but it's not really negative;
>their focus would be on protecting their stuff
opportunity cost. If they don't really want it, they won't protect it. It's their problem anyway.

>value system
The only value system ancap has is whatever the free market decides is valuable. Isn't that a legitimate enough invisible hand?
>makes a hierarchy based on "ability to run a business" more than it is "ability to work with metal"
I don't see how that is inherently negative.
I suppose that if you're an anarcho primitivist, you're a proponent of more "fundamental" value systems rather than intangible services and the like
>some consumer based force that would determine a skills worth.
You're basically describing the free market, here.

>because it's part of you it is *causally* yours
It *is* you. What is you is yours, don't you agree with that at least? You, are the property of yourself, that seems obvious.
I'm not trying to define ownership as anything else than what you WANT to own. What you decide is yours, is yours.

>humanity comes with some wants, and everyone "deserves" to have those
I don't really see why. Because you want something (or need something), you deserve it? I'd say that unless you have the ability to obtain it, you don't deserve anything

>not suffering
so to you, the lack of suffering is the most basic "right"? If so, why?

From the rest of your post I think I (more or less) understand your way of thinking, although I think it's based on erroneous assumptions that don't really exist. For example
>it's right to try
What is "right"?
>>
>>27933261
>private property
You're confusing private property and personal property here.

I agree that ownership isn't a random phenomena. I just think it's essentially defined by the individual. What you want to be yours is yours if you can obtain it, something like that.

also true. but, I'm saying it's just a tradeoff which they're free to make. help others and accept some weird responsibility and get to associate, or dont and have the freedom of doing with your stuff whatever you want.

>opportunity cost. If they don't really want it, they won't protect it. It's their problem anyway.
gotcha

>The only value system ancap has is whatever the free market decides is valuable. Isn't that a legitimate enough invisible hand?
I think so. I think that last post tired me out cause I can't really elaborate on why I think it's incongruent with the way we ought to function.

>I don't see how that is inherently negative.
because then people who suffer already from, say, a social disorder, but have great skills with their product, will suffer more and needlessly since their abilities are already very valuable. This is already true, where maybe someone is really good at something but can't get a job because they suck at interviews.
I guess what your system would propose is that, in order to be *truly* valuable you need both. and that is true in our economy and society now.
>I suppose that if you're an anarcho primitivist, you're a proponent of more "fundamental" value systems rather than intangible services and the like
I think so. like I said about the person's fundamental skills, the product they're selling or whatever.

>>
>so to you, the lack of suffering is the most basic "right"? If so, why?
I think it's something that society exists for. to prevent or alleviate unnecessary suffering (killing each other for something we could easily ask to use/have/borrow)
When I think about this, I think about what the first society came together for, and why we continue to stay in a society. that whole "social species" thing is bullshit. There's just a lot of us, there's not many places you can go anymore where there aren't people. We're a cognitive species, and our cognition led some humans to try to live together in a group (beyond family) and restrain from doing certain things. those things became moral, only because of the agreement. "I told you I wouldn't steal if you didn't fuck my wife, you fucked my wife but I never stole and that's mean" or something like that. Also religion is in there but fuck that whole talk, that gets too deluded.

>What is you is yours, don't you agree with that at least?
not really. I mean, just because I don't think I own anything or have property, doesn't mean I don't have any agency to deny people the use of the things I'm using.
>I'm not trying to define ownership as anything else than what you WANT to own.
exactly, but I'm exchanging own for use. Own implies the agency I'm trying to convey, but they agency is only there because of whatever happens here
>humanity comes with some wants, and everyone "deserves" to have those
in whatever word fits better for "deserves". It's some personal agency that comes with being an individual, and with being part of a group (this duality I think is related to what humanity might mean)
I think ownership is a contrived and primitive concept that blocks the way for a society to flourish. "use" does the same thing, but allows for a kind of awareness about a connection to the rest of people for some betterment, while "own" blocks it.

>dont and have the freedom
That seems preferable to me. Keep in mind that egoism doesn't exclude cooperation or voluntaryism at all. If anything, it enhances their efficiency: a "union of egoists", working together in order to reach their personal goals quickly and more efficiently, for example.
>people who suffer already from, say, a social disorder
That depends entirely on specific circumstances, though.

>I think it's something that society exists for
I disagree. Society is an association of individuals that agreed, at one point, to work together in order to better their odds of survival. That's the early definition of society, more akin to tribalism (which I'm definitely not against, tribalism is cool as long as it remains an association of egoists)
Modern society isn't about survival anymore, as much as it's about growth and the enhancement of technology, which is why a case could be made for anarcho-transhumanism (yes it exists). But fundamentally, society is only about the prevention of suffering (or rather, danger/death in general) if it's a small-scale tribalist group. Even then, this goal of survival doesn't mean the weak should be given the same opportunities as the strong: quite the opposite, actually.
>cognition
>restrain from doing certain things
We sought compromise, as shown by the godawful system democracy is. Morals are literally a "social" construct, just like ethics, and we follow these constructs because there's no alternative.

>to deny people the use of the things I'm using
Even when I'm not physically present on the land I own, I don't want people coming on it without paying rent. It's much more practical to define ownership. It's also in our nature to want stuff for ourselves, and that's fine.

>I'm exchanging own for use
But why? it's inefficient. If you don't want something anymore, just give it away. But don't abolish ownership altogether.

>I think ownership is a contrived and primitive concept that blocks the way for a society to flourish
Quite the contrary imo
If nobody owns anything, we don't advance. Ownership creates need, need creates demand, and demand, when answered with offer, initiates economic transactions. It would lead to stagnation and regression to a primitive way of living - although I guess that's not a bad thing in itself. But I wouldn't call an anarcho-primitivist society "flourishing".

>my body isn't "private property"
It can be if you choose to sell it

I understand why you think alleviating suffering is important, although I don't agree. I get how it ties with your conception of ownership and use, but it seems to me like it's mostly inefficient

>>27934695
>That seems preferable to me. Keep in mind that egoism doesn't exclude cooperation or voluntaryism at all. If anything, it enhances their efficiency: a "union of egoists", working together in order to reach their personal goals quickly and more efficiently, for example.
that makes a lot of sense for sure.

>That depends entirely on specific circumstances, though.
true, but those circumstances to exist and exist frequently in any context.

>ociety is an association of individuals that agreed, at one point, to work together in order to better their odds of survival.
I don't know, I feel it's more to prevent prevent suffering. or maybe, that was the next step.

agreed
>which is why a case could be made for anarcho-transhumanism
that's somewhat more accurate to what I believe in, didn't really think more on a better word. cool.

>society is only about the prevention of suffering (or rather, danger/death in general) if it's a small-scale tribalist group.
I don't think that's true. in medium sized groups where everyone *could* have needs met, then the focus changes. but in a huge one where needs are not met, suffering is *created* rather than prevented, it becomes about different things. For some, it's about trying to work with each other to prevent unnecessary suffering, others is about preventing their own suffering (through drugs, camwhoring, escapism etc) and others is about building capital.

>this goal of survival doesn't mean the weak should be given the same opportunities as the strong: quite the opposite, actually.
I agree, but small-scale tribalist groups only abandon weak and old because they have little resources. if you're abundant, you look out for everyone so you can grow.

>We sought compromise, as shown by the godawful system democracy is.
ahaha I think that's pretty good though. It's just a stupid fucking execution of compromise.
>Morals are literally a "social" construct, just like ethics, and we follow these constructs because there's no alternative.
the alternative is to face consequences, I think. I agree though, it's a social construct. that's what I was trying to say but I guess I said it weird, sorry.
I mean, we agreed to that restrain, it was a choice, and over time became moral because of the consequences (also religion, oblivious parents etc.)

>Even when I'm not physically present on the land I own, I don't want people coming on it without paying rent. It's much more practical to define ownership. It's also in our nature to want stuff for ourselves, and that's fine.
I guess that makes sense. I don't think it's in our nature though (even though I remember at some point saying I do, I just think I was trying to get at something else)
>But why? it's inefficient. If you don't want something anymore, just give it away. But don't abolish ownership altogether.
how is that inefficient? besides saying I want to use it later or don't want others using it like that^ because that totally makes sense.
But I think through my perspective, if you didn't own it, it's not like you can have any feelings about other people using it when you aren't anyways, not unless you wanted to use it again.

>It can be if you choose to sell it
ownership precedes selling and buying. if i don't own, I can't sell, so there would be no such thing as "selling my body"
only lending it to someone to use.

Comfort? Yeah, I suppose. Either way, the prevention of suffering is every individual's goal, more or less. No one seeks suffering, right?

>in a huge one where needs are not met
In a huge society, that I'm assuming would be statist, the destruction of individuality to benefit the collective would inevitably lead to the suffering of individuals. These individuals seek to escape that suffering for sure, but in a personal way. I don't know if that makes sense
The end game is egoism, I think that's a given. In the future, there's going to be a return of strong individualism.

>>27935028
>because they have little resources
You're right. The more wealth and resources a group has, the more it can afford to help the weak. It doesn't change the fact that it would be better off letting the weak fall behind if they're not contributing to the group's advancement.

You're more or less describing ownership here, in a way.

There's always an emotional attachment to the things you use regularly, that's why I said ownership was in our nature. We want things to be ours, in a primal way, like animals mark their territory. My stuff is my stuff, not your stuff. That kind of thing.

Also, left-wing anarchism destroys culture. Right-wing anarchism (ancap, egoism, national anarchism) prevents their destruction because
1. the elimination of a welfare state eliminates illegal immigration, since illegal immigrants are mostly motivated by higher social benefits
2. the NAP and similar principles allow the preservation of a certain culture, community or ethnic heritage by considering invasion as an initiatory use of force

>Comfort? Yeah, I suppose. Either way, the prevention of suffering is every individual's goal, more or less. No one seeks suffering, right?
this is one of my favorite avenues. I think through suffering people understand a lot more. I know more about me through my suffering than i do my pleasures. I also think I connect with others more intimately and profoundly through suffering. I don't seek it out though.

> the destruction of individuality to benefit the collective would inevitably lead to the suffering of individuals
I'm definitely not advocating for that. I feel like through an equal playing field, individuals could be even more individual rather than trying to overcome all these obstacles.
>These individuals seek to escape that suffering for sure, but in a personal way.
>I don't know if that makes sense
it does, it does. maybe I'm advocating for an egoist anarchism but without and capital.

absolutely.

>It doesn't change the fact that it would be better off letting the weak fall behind if they're not contributing to the group's advancement.
true, but I don't think that's wrong. like I said earlier in the post, it's not about providing luxuries for people, but when resources are large enough to prevent everyone's unnecessary suffering, the people who choose not to help are *necessarily* put in suffering by others (they get beat up, shunned, etc.)

>51% bullying the 49%? It's fucking terrible, m8

I totally get this, I didn't agree either, the consequences are totally imposed. Sucks, I'd go somewhere else if I could too.

>You're more or less describing ownership here, in a way.
it seems the same because the function is really similar, but there's some cognitive dissonance that happens with ownership. at least, I think so.

>There's always an emotional attachment to the things you use regularly, that's why I said ownership was in our nature.
there's never been a society without ownership, so we can't know that there's an identity you associate with using something regularly. But, the fact that there hasn't be a society without ownership kinda shows that we don't want to part with it, so I get your point.
I figure marking territory is more for a safety/survival thing, but I understand.

>Yeah, you're assuming you don't own your body. Otherwise, it would work
I know, that's what I'm saying though. if you don't own, you can't sell or buy.

Oh, sure, you're right. Pain allows for more growth than satisfaction, and it is through suffering that we truly evolve. But it's precisely because we hate pain that it allows us to grow.

>maybe I'm advocating for an egoist anarchism
Egoist anarchism is vague enough, really. And it's not because you value individuality that you're an advocate of individualistic forms of anarchism

>but when resources are large enough to prevent everyone's unnecessary suffering, the people who choose not to help are *necessarily* put in suffering by others
Only if the society they live in subscribes to a specific ideology.
If these people were in a small survivalist tribe, or in an ancap society, or a functional, large scale association of egoists (those are just examples), they certainly would not be shunned.
If they lived in an ancom utopia, they'd be hung by the balls though.

>I totally agree
Oh okay. I'm not advocating for authoritarianism, but it's undeniable that technocracy is incredibly more efficient and less retarded than pure democracy. But either way, as long as there will be a centralized authority, people will never be free

>some people don't mind jail

>>27935773
Cognitive dissonance happens as soon as there's human interaction.
Ownership is a good way to regulate the use of materials and services by providing a greater amount to the most successful, resilient and adaptable individuals.

>there's never been a society without ownership
Unless you count remote, primitive tribes in Oceania and South America, then I guess not.
Well, marking territory and owning something really is about the same fundamental principle: my things are mine, period. There's a sense of security and strength you get when you can benefit from material goods you know are "yours" and nobody else's.
>>
>>27935996
>But it's precisely because we hate pain that it allows us to grow.
of course. I like that. I wonder sometimes though, like.. the way you're putting it, if we could agree to those things. I think there is, I think we do it. like, it already is an anarchy, we're just saying I don't want this consequence, i don't want that. I don't know really how to put it, but we're already there.

>And it's not because you value individuality that you're an advocate of individualistic forms of anarchism
okay, good that there's some distinction then.

>Only if the society they live in subscribes to a specific ideology.
yeah, talking about how some ideology could be successful or unsuccessful is way less fun than talking about why society exists, so I'd say we just not go there.

>But either way, as long as there will be a centralized authority, people will never be free
true but, like I was saying up there^, aren't we all already ultimately free? ultimate in an absolute, the highest, most central way, not like "it comes down to..." or anything.

>I don't know man, I'm not into anal that much, especially not if it's on the receiving side
i love anal, but I get it. I don't wanna get rammed in jail. at least not seriously, I'd totally do roleplays like that. what the fuck am I saying

>Ownership is a good way to regulate the use of materials and services by providing a greater amount to the most successful, resilient and adaptable individuals.
that makes sense. I think when you're viewing the framework, that's true, but I don't think that framework is necessary, needs to be the way it is, or even real (some consequence of our biology).

>There's a sense of security and strength you get when you can benefit from material goods you know are "yours" and nobody else's.
true, but when you have more than enough, that extra stuff can go away. and I mean, more than enough to have an extra safety net or two, too.
>>
>>27935996
I think I'm on your side, in the sense that we either need no safety net at all, or plenty for everybody. Right now (in the US anyways, because that's all I truly have experience with) it's in between, and that makes for people who can stay in poverty and suffering but not die (or die off as a group), so the nets stay low without lifting us as a whole to anything more.
>>
>>27936249
>it already is an anarchy
>aren't we all ultimately free?
Completely. In the egoist anarchist sense, we're already in an anarchy: the individual has the power to take action in whichever way he sees fit.
You're right, we are already free in the most basic sense. Even the basic law of nature (the strongest wins) applies to modern society, since the state is basically the biggest bully.
So yeah, I get what you mean. But it would still be nice if that individual freedom we all have (fundamentally) could be allowed to actually thrive in reality.
That's where illegalism becomes relevant, I suppose.

>I'd totally do roleplays
Anon pls

>I don't think that framework is necessary
Arguable
>needs to be that way
It doesn't need to be that way, it's just better.
>even real
Ownership?
Well, according to Stirner's definition of ownership, personal property is actually the most "real" thing there is, because of the ego's sovereignty over what it perceives.

>when you have more than enough
For some people, enough is never enough. For others, enough is just a place to live, some food and basic comfort. It depends.
>that extra stuff can go away
Yeah, as long as it doesn't bother whomever possesses this stuff

I'm actually all for minimalism in one's lifestyle. I don't own many things, and I'm not attached to any of my stuff aside from my computer.
Yet I'm an advocate of (ultra)capitalism because I believe in absolute freedom, and especially the freedom to choose, own, and choose what you own.

>>27936268
>no safety net at all
>plenty for everybody
The former makes more sense, since a universal safety net would require the rich to be highly taxed (among other reasons)

As far as I know, the US isn't bad when it comes to its policy on benefits and social security (much better than Europe, at least). I still think Democrats are being retarded though. Free healthcare isn't a "right", ffs

true

I think that makes sense. even the freedom to rule others in some sense.

>since a universal safety net would require the rich to be highly taxed (among other reasons)
I think that's only true where money/ownership exists, which is why you can't have ownership *and* enough resources for everyone (regardless of what "enough" means)

>I still think Democrats are being retarded though.
they are
>Free healthcare isn't a "right", ffs
why is that? I think health is, but with the way insurance companies and all work it doesn't even make sense, I can't reason out how there can even be arguments for free healthcare without just claiming it as some fundamental value and "it doesn't matter how, just as long as it gets done".
>>
>>27936743
>there are ways to strip away facades of restriction
Look up Renzo Novatore.

>even the freedom to rule others
Of course. Some people need to be ruled, anyway, so they would willingly submit themselves to the authority of someone else even in an anarchist society.

>that's only true where money/ownership exists
True, but eliminating them is impossible anyway, for now at least. And I'm okay with that, I like having money. The elimination of currency would lead to a drop in innovation and in the maximum level of comfort available (there wouldn't be any incentive for anyone to manufacture Veblen goods)

>why is that
I said earlier that I didn't believe in any other law than the law of nature. This extends to society: there's no "right" to anything except what you can claim as yours, so, there's no "right" to healthcare unless you can afford its cost.
Free healthcare is a myth just like every other "free" thing, anyway.

>I like having money.
me too, in this whole system anyways. if I were without money but still here it would fucking suck.
>The elimination of currency would lead to a drop in innovation
going from this to nothing definitely would, but I think there are ways to ween off or start anew somehow. like, it's the *elimination*, some severance that prevents us from functioning without it. if there could be a newness without severance, we'd be fine because the incentive would be self gratifying. create it for the sake of having it, not for the sake of selling it.

>This extends to society: there's no "right" to anything except what you can claim as yours, so, there's no "right"
ah, that's kinda what I meant about deserving I guess.
>Free healthcare is a myth just like every other "free" thing, anyway.

>if I were without money but still here it would fucking suck.
Yeah, for sure. I'm starting to look into survivalism in order to develop a more minimalist lifestyle and hopefully become self-sufficient one day, I think that could be cool. Taxation is theft, I want out.

>there are ways to ween off or start anew somehow
I think that once society reaches a high enough point in terms of technology, we'll see it break down into tribalist forms of government again.
But right now, we could eliminate money realistically, but it would just be replaced by another type of system to measure the value of goods and services.

>the incentive would be self-gratifying
I suppose. But it depends on what you're producing. A lot of industries depend exclusively on customer demand, especially for large scale projects.

>Pay is a construct
>It's just language
Again, that's semantics: I was talking in the purely economic sense.

agreed.

>But it depends on what you're producing.
true. I think something like cutting wood for fire is self gratifying (gratifying isn't the right word)
>A lot of industries depend exclusively on customer demand, especially for large scale projects.

>we should be able to opt out or in

>cutting wood for fire
Yeah I see what you mean. On the other hand, employing hundreds of men to build a luxury yacht isn't self-gratifying: only the act of owning and using the yacht provides satisfaction. And that yacht wouldn't be built if money did not exist.

And yeah you're right about phones and the Internet.
>>
>>27937335
>employing hundreds of men to build a luxury yacht isn't self-gratifying:
yeah that's what I mean about gratifying being a bad word. I mean, the product is the means and end. the path and the destination. that works with firewood, and i guess it could with other more techy products but not everything. and advancement of any technology is definitely not an end in itself, it's a means to get to an end which is more pricey but desired products.
I think you're pretty spot on, we're just in a stage right now, still in motion on a trajectory towards something more free. it just kinda sucks now because we *require* money to make yachts and invent shit, we don't just do it because we want it. most of the time that's how it seems anyways.
>>
>>27937462
>the product is the means and end
Depends on the product. Most products that would be considered unnecessary by primitivists (anything that doesn't play a role in your survival) are made with money as an incentive: if money wasn't there, they wouldn't be made.
Money is just there as a way to legitimize trade.
As soon as technology makes trade obsolete (in a long time, probably), we'll be able to truly evolve.
