Sanguinius said:(...)believe that if you believe anything I say, I specifically said it because I know this is an American dominant audience. Also, why say I'm lecturing Bob? didn't he try and "lecture" me on the definition of the word "slavery"? as if I don't know it.
It would seem, in the Libertarian caricature of the world, doing anything compulsory is slavery. Doing a little compulsory community service is simply not slavery in the sense that anyone else uses the word. I did community service instead of paying some fines and fees when I was a poor student. I didn't have the money so it was compulsory work on pain of further legal action. Was that slavery in any meaningful sense? If so, that kind of slavery does not seem wrong to me.
[quote author=Sanguinius]As for your “common good” remark, if you think your Great leader knows what the “common good” is, and so superior to all others in determining this that he can force them to do things they would otherwise not do and produce the “common good” by doing so, then okay.[/quote]
That sentiment seems to be against authority having the power to do more than make stern suggestions. Also against taxation of any kind. I'd like to know how you expect the roads to be paid for, managed and maintained without letting anyone be in charge of the common good in any way.
