The state.

11.14.04 (9:35 am) [edit]

"The state – whatever its particular forms –
always expresses itself as a collective form of
property ownership. All political systems are
socialistic, in that they are premised upon the
subservience of individual interests to
collective authority. Communism, fascism, lesser
forms of state socialism, and welfarism, are all
premised upon the state’s usurpation of privately-
owned property. Whether one chooses to be aligned
with the political 'Left,' 'Right,' or 'Middle,'
comes down to nothing more than a preference for
a particular franchise of state socialism."

Well, now. That's pretty plain talk, ain't it.

So, if you participate in any way, supporting
your government, you're a flavor of socialist.

Hey, that's all right. I think you're deluded but
whatever blows your skirt up.

Just be honest with yourself.

Now, just fuckin' think about this.

Is that what you are? Is that what you want?

And hey, it ain't about revolution. No good
will come of that and I won't support it.
Ever. If you were successful, you'd just end up
installing some new socialist idiot.

Read it all.

I quite agree. For example, anyone who accepts the legitamacy of statist rationing constructs such as "legal title" and "money" (which must logically proceed from the idea of universal state ownership) is just another dirty little communist.

BTW, does Shaffer give any guidance on when we should accept others' claims of ownership? You can claim to own anything you want, but that doesn't necessarily make it so.
