You making a monopoly charging ANY amount you want for your product is fine. Lets use gasoline. You own 100% of all gasoline. It costs you $1 to extract the gas, move it to where you want, cover overheads, etc. You sell your gas for $100 an ounce. You are now the only gas company making a ridiculous amount of profit selling a product for an amount ridiculously more then it is worth OR economically viable for anyone to buy. That is wrong. The american government made monopolies illegal for a reason. Corrupt people, like you, think they are right to fuck people over.

why is it wrong to do whatever I want with my legally obtained property?
I'm not stealing anything from you
I'm not stopping anyone to do anything in their control

I'm as right to do what I want with my business as you are with yours, thats free enterprise yo.

There's no such thing as legally obtained property, or legality, without laws imposed by a collective...

I was just speaking in colletivish but youre semi-wrong
a brief example of a lawful yet individualist society

individuals can set their laws in the form of contracts everytime a transaction is needed
they can hire a third party to intermediate the process and make everything as simple as is it now except that you'd have a choice on whose courts are you gonna go to, and whose police station you gonna call.
if a party breaks the deal, they get punished, or if the society is quite the pacifist one, then he just wouldnt be trusted anymore, be blacklisted, and then won't be able to trade w\ those who care about contractual law.

no buying food or work would suck a bit for the thief. hed have to be constantly stealing, or would just have to go away. If he keeps robbing people well, by the nature of self defense, sooner or later someone would incapacitate him imo. sadly


Why is there a police station? Laws for them to enforce can't be defined without a collective.

self-defense
protective services
you know there's people that hire bodyguards and private security even today right?

laws can be defined interpersonally.
I think the only problem youd run into is w\ private property
against anarcho-communist
its a very common debate
"I won't respect your claim to own yourself! nor what you make! It's all ours!"
"k"
fucking commies lol

Slavery (also called thralldom) is a form of forced labour in which people are considered to be the property of others. Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand wages. In some societies it was legal for an owner to kill a slave; in others it was a crime.[1]

How is taxation slavery? Yurebis, you need to be consistent. If you talk about rights and stealing you obviously believe in a government. What kind of government? On every argument you set up a new scenario that best fits your argument. This is why debates are done in person and not over text. You are manipulating everything. Debates are forums are fail.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

it's not retarded, it's different degrees of aggression
and yeah I guess they'd rape your wife in both cases.

in slavery, the master claims control over 100% of your assets and your body
in democracy, the state elected by your neighbors claim control over.. idk, 40% of your assets.
