Maybe if you actually wrote something worth responding to... Just a suggestion.

I can't force you to think.

Again, the fundamental premises of Spooner's works are his mentally unbalanced radical anarchism.

His No Treason is an out-and-out repudiation of the US Constitution and a declaration that no state or person should follow it.

Moreover, after this assault on the very foundations of our republic, he then turned to an assault on the foundations of our republic's economy: the right of property owners to accumulate and invest capital.

One might as well recommend the works of Kropotkin or Marx.

If that is your perception, then you should consider your projection problem.

As for Spooner, as a philosopher he had many insights and observations that are playing out RIGHT NOW in American politics.

And yes, if you haven't read Kropotkin, Marx, Hitler, Tzu, ect... then how do you know what you are supposed to be fighting against? You have to understand them to beat them.

Right now, our Republic is in dire shape. Particularly because of some of the very things Spooner was warning about. Hence my inclusion of that particular treatise on the list.

If that is too big a concept for you to wrap your head around, it could lie at the heart of why no one takes you seriously here...
