I disagree with those statements, although I can see where he arrives at his conclusion. It may seem to many people that they cannot withdraw from the 'race' of the free market, because they must survive and to do so one must have a job and consume goods. On the other hand, one could retreat into the woods build a cabin and live off the land. I really find it hilarious that I am some how obligated to agree with everything the author says simply because I post something written by him that I happen to agree with on a few points. This kind of logic amazes me.

I like to call this little post "UH, OH... I Better READ it next time", otherwise known as "a study of the posts of Exnihilo, as he realizes that he has stumbled onto a communist's critique of libertarians, and posts it without reading it, only to find out he's screwed up bad, and has to backpedal furiously"

Post 23 “His points about the inconsistancies of Libertarianism are exactly right.”

Post 26 “Then start by refuting the author's points which demonstrate repeated inconsistancies in Libertarian thinking.”

Post 43 “I find it interesting that you refuse to address any of the author's points, but instead point out what "side" he is on, as if that automatically invalidates his points. That's what I call a short-cut to thinking.”

Post 47 “I posted it for his points on Libertarianism, not his personal opinions on other matters. I wish you guys would refute his points about Libertarians..”

Post 62 “LOL! He makes specific points about Libertarians that are based in a simple observation of Libertarian rhetoric. I am getting a kick out of this..”

Post 68 “No, I don't. I selected it for the author's points on Libertarianism. Those points have yet to be refuted, except for someone to say "he's a commie!". That is not an argument.”

Post 73 “Explain why his specific statements about the contradictory nature of libertarian philosophy is wrong using libertarian philosophy! It should be easy, right?”

Post 91 “He doesn't incorporate socialism into his conclusions about Libertarians!…... Now, why is he wrong? Just refute him!”

Post 129 “Benson, I never claimed that the author's arguments are my arguments. I found his statements interesting, and I posted them.”

Post 133 “Dagny, you are aware that I didn't write the article right?”

Post 151 OWK, why do you feel that I'm back peddaling?

Hilarious.

obligated to agree

Nope- just trying to get a feel for what you think. I personally think this guy is a raving loon- I think he is explicitly totalitarian-"...what if they are the creators of wealth, and they refuse to create when they are taxed? Well then let us all live in poverty, and let us imprison them, for trying to blackmail the state into lowering their taxes.

This guy is a truly twisted (by my standards) nutcake.

Thoughts?
