you are remarkably self-consistent in them. There's something perversely admirable about a logical philosophy with which one almost completely disagrees.
I feel the same way about what my father used to call "honest liberals."EDIT: You really are an anarcho-capitalist, aren't you?
Technically, a capitalist is an investor, so no. I am in favor of very limited government and personal freedom above social justice. I do not suscribe to any sort of capitalist ideal, nor do I labor under any delusion that capitalism or the free-market makes things better. Over all, a free market places the least restriction on personal freedoms, and I believe that property rights are the keystone or foundation of all other rights. If property rights are not respected, the other rights are no more than privileges granted by the true powers that be in a state (whether government or big business or religious hierarchies), which may be then revoked as they will. The best guarantor of everyone's freedom is for everyone's freedom to be respected. If that translates into archo-capitalism, because I respect the right of an employee to work for whatever conditions HE decides are most favorable and an employer to pay what HE believes the work is worth, so be it. Likewise, when it comes to intersection of personal morality and civil law, I believe in allowing people enough leeway to damn themselves. "When God put man in a garden, He girt him with a sword/ And sent him forth a free knight, that he might betray his Lord."
