In ancapistan, if you have no property, you have no rights
Ancaps often declare, "All rights are property rights." I was thinking about this the other day, in the context of running into libertarians online who insisted that libertarianism supports "the freedom of movement," and realized that this principle actually entails that people without property have no rights at all, let alone any right to "freedom of movement." Of course, immediately, any ancap readers still left here are going to say, "Wait a second! Everyone owns his own body! And so everyone at least has the right to not have his body interfered with."

ReplyDeleteI swear my dog walks like 10-20 feet while doing one poo. It's comical. Well, except that we have to scoop it.
ReplyDeleteAndy I'm leaning racoon:
Delete1) These were small (you guys couldn't tell from the photo!) and
2) There aren't many dogs likely to be in my yard: I am close to only one house, and there dog is always fenced in.
