Does Private Property Amount to “Enslavement by Proxy”?

August 8, 2022 Skyler J. Collins (Editor)

Six months ago it was asked on r/Libertarian, “How are you a libertarian supporting the actions of the Canadian government?” regarding the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. Included with the question was some commentary. u/teluetetime responded and this conversation on private property ensued. Enjoy.

Abortion is a Language and Concept Controversy

August 1, 2022 Skyler J. Collins (Editor)

I created and posted this picture to reddit, making the point that abortion, in the minds of many, perhaps most, is a rights versus rights issue. Those who are uncomfortable with that will just define away the unborn, which is unconvincing to many, perhaps most, of us. The following on abortion, and then language, ensued.…

Copying Isn’t Theft, Even When China Does It

July 26, 2022 Skyler J. Collins (Editor)

r/AskReddit asked, “Why do you think people aren’t watching the Olympics?” To which I responded, “Because watching the Olympics would be supporting the communist and fascist state of China and their terrible human rights abuses spanning decades.” The following conversation on “intellectual property” with a few people ensued.

Stick and Stones, But Words

July 20, 2022 Skyler J. Collins (Editor)

This was posted to r/TrueUnpopularOpinion, “words hurt, but calling them violence or oppression is often misused, overused and abused especially on the internet” along with some elaboration. u/Caelus9 then responded with the below and the following conversation ensued. Enjoy.

Property Rights and Incentive Structures

July 11, 2022 Skyler J. Collins (Editor)

My first comment in this discussion was the source of another I published here a few weeks ago. Here’s the original with our good friend u/Mutant_Llama1, from 6 months ago. The thread begin with the question, “At what point does a body of NAP violators stop becoming a criminal gang and begin becoming a state?” Enjoy!

Private Property Authority versus State Jurisdiction

July 4, 2022 Skyler J. Collins (Editor)

I just had the following conversation in the EVC Telegram group with a new member. It seemingly went all over the place, but I thought it was a good example of responding to common challenges leveled at voluntaryists and anarchists regarding state authority and private property. Enjoy!

Property Rights and Capitalist Exploitation

June 28, 2022 Skyler J. Collins (Editor)

The question was asked at r/AskLibertarians about 5 months ago, “can someone point out the differences and similarities between libertarianism and anarchism for me”, and the following mediocre conversation (and a short split thread) with u/Mutant_Llama1 ensued on the question of property rights and capitalist exploitation.

Accumulation of Private Property

June 20, 2022 Skyler J. Collins (Editor)

The following question was asked about 5 months ago on r/AskLibertarians by u/genshu_diatribe, “Can accumulation of private property ever go too far?”. After which the following conversations occurred between myself, this same user, and another after they split the thread. Enjoy!

You Are Not a Slave, Act Like It

June 15, 2022 Skyler J. Collins (Editor)

I wrote the comments in the image 5 months ago and shared it to r/Anarcho_Capitalism. The following conversation with a now [deleted] user, along with many others, ensued. I hope it proves enlightening on the topics of the state’s claims over our bodies, liberties, and property, as well as the broader question of property rights.

Fraud is Violence Against Property

June 6, 2022 Skyler J. Collins (Editor)

The following conversation on force and fraud followed this question to r/AskLibertarians, “Does the NAP include non-physical harms?”, 5 months ago. Enjoy!
