Oddbean new post about login | logout @c8ef4612 Because someone needs to organize our collective resources to achieve greater works.. even if the people do this through elected and selected charities, they have no choosen a "master" over that aspect. @bb8a50f9 @5661329e
@b05df304 As long as there is no coercion and violence against individuals, then that is fine. But I presume you will argue that there must be, in which case I am not on-board. Classical rebuttal; "Someone has to pick the cotton." @bb8a50f9 @5661329e
@c8ef4612 Ok so how do you deal with people who generally today are only handle with violence or coercion. How do you stop someone who is harming or torturing another without using force? Presuming you are ok with using biolence to prevent a greater violence then who gets to determine that? Is it a court? In which case your back to governments that use violence... Is it some ransom individual? In which case you are back to a mob applying that violence. @bb8a50f9 @5661329e
@b05df304 "How do you stop someone who is harming or torturing another without using force?" I have repeatedly pointed out that self-defense is the only justification for violence. And it is a right I have, hence I can delegate that right to someone else. I don't have to, but I can. @bb8a50f9 @5661329e
