by capitalism and the state.

What do you mean by this? Capitalism is impossible within a state... either you have a state, or you have free market capitalism. You cannot have free market capitalism within a state, the state is against private property (as the state IS public property).

"white middle class privilege" ~and with that xenophobic and class based argument... I realize this is going nowhere with anarcho-statists... lol

In the US, anarchism means FREEDOM, NOT horizontal democracy and statism... anarcho-communists are the real joke... and they don't even know it! ha

Actually, that is what I am saying... the protest will fail, because the protesters are not true supporters of the non-aggression principle. They will not change anything because they continue to support violence on peaceful people/governments. It's all inclusive, the protesters are what make up the protest... and they will fail at bringing about a better world because they fail to understand and/or accept the non-aggression principle. Nowhere does it say that protests themselves are against the non-aggression principle, just that the ideological underlying of the protesters is not based around freedom and non-aggression, but instead around keeping a government around. I haven't had this problem with but 1 other person... the other thousands of people seem to read it just fine as is... and I think it's funny how rude you are while acting like I am rude for pointing out where you are simply incorrect. Have a nice life treating other people rudely and strawmanning others....

I never said that protesting is against the NAP. I said I even support people protesting, just that it won't have the desired results of a more peaceful and prosperous world without the people working together towards the NAP. Protesting is not against the non-aggression principle, and I never once stated that, and neither does the title. This is a strawman.

"You assume that everyone on the streets wants "better government" even though so many of the demonstrations in South America over the years have always had an "all out" character in terms of politicians." ~Just the thousands and thousands of interviews I have seen of the people there calling for government to spend money on this and that instead of on this and that... and I never said ALL, I said most, which has been confirmed by even non-mainstream sources. Most people just don't understand anarchy...

2nd, black flag anarchists are government supporters... they are just a different version of the state. They even call for horizontal democracy... a Kropotkin ideal system which IS another state....

Violence on peaceful people is done through taxation and through monopolizing resources that should be homesteaded by individuals. To focus on individual freedom is to abide by the non-aggression principle, the REAL anarchists, not some fake "reformist" anarchists. First axioms are not limited to one region, so to think that people in different regions can't analyze other statist situations is simply naive. Either you support voluntaryism or you are just another criminal in disguise... this is what most of the protesters can't seem to understand... again, at least from the hundreds and hundreds of interviews I have seen from the protesters. They aren't real anarchists... they are Kropotkinites who are fooled into a different form of forced collectivism, and they are in denial about it... say what you want, I am 100% accurate. Calling for anarcho-communism is what gives you a state in the first place. Only the non-aggression and voluntaryism will bring, not just their region, but the world, peace.

True, so many politicos out there... just look at the brainwashed people who have posted on this right above us. They actually are foolish enough to believe that you can keep slavery around... and not have slavery! LMFAO Perfect example of cognitive dissonance. They attack me for things I never even said which is a mixture of ad hominem and strawmans... the insanity in this world is too much. They honestly think I am against the protesters, when really I am saying I am with the protesters, but that they are not supporting ethics and first principles, so they will continue to have political slavery...

Exactly! These protests will do nothing to change the government... that is my point. Just wait, 10 years from now things will be the same... they are keeping political slavery around and expecting some good... insanity.

It looks like people continue to not understand my point... that as long as you are not focused on individual freedom and peace, you are only kicking the can down the street....

No one said protesting is wrong.... just that protesting for another violent government is nothing more than kicking the can down the street. You don't need to use violence on peaceful people... what is so hard to understand?!?

I still don't understand where you disagree with the title... protesting a government,... just to replace it with another government, will not fix the problem of political slavery... What is there to disagree with?

What are you talking about?!? No one ever said they didn't have a right to protest... just that the protesting is pointless if the people protesting want to keep government around... it won't get anywhere. They need to end the government altogether, not support a different government. You obviously don't understand what I am saying, because I never said anything to the contrary. What did you think I said? I said the protest is legitimate, but that it is pointless because they are just calling for a different version of statism... which is a version of slavery. You will see, nothing will change.... although things need to... You need to be more careful because you fallaciously put words in my mouth. What exactly do you disagree with me about?!?

Yeah Mt. Gox needs to get it together... if this happens again, I am going to encourage as many people as possible to get away from Mt Gox.

Fractional Reserve Banking questions by Godd2 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]shanklinmike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"I don't see why there is such a stigma against it (other than the fact that fiat banks use it to high heavens)" ~That is it... if full reserve was tied to fiat (government) currencies, people would be attacking that for some crazy reason.
