/ancap/ - Anarcho-Capitalism

I think there is a big overlap between conservatives, neo-cons, libertarians and ancaps and there is really not much one can do about it. The libertarian principles are so broad that all kinds of diffent ideologies fall under the umbrella. I think most are actually people that I wouldn't enjoy hanging out with. What I do is apply different criteria to potential friends than their political leanings.

(Just found this board, want to fuel some discussion.)

What a weird question, since it's not really an issue to begin with.

There is nothing wrong with being socially conservative, as long as you don't force your beliefs on me or get someone else (the state) to do so. Your business is not mine.

That being said, I know that many people feel strongly about their beliefs.

>boo hoo muh feels

I think in a true anarcho-capitalist society, people will just either have to suck it up or form their own small communities, just like how the ancoms will.

I'm aware of this yes. But my concern is more that they make the movement look bad.

I mean how can you sit around and talk about non aggression when you beat your child. talking poorly about queers is going to turn off huge swaths of the population from wanting to hear the stuff that actually matters, etc.

They're statist scum.

>>25
Only real solution to this that I can think of is try to be a louder voice. Distance the movement from these people's personal beliefs, and make sure that the great majority of people who believe that aggression is wrong and everything else isn't our business are speaking up. If you happen to know some of these socially conservative people, try to convince them to at least distinguish between their personal opinions and the goals of our movement, and if they won't or worse, can't, then spread the word so local ancaps can ostracize them from the movement.

>People exercising their freedom of conscience
>Making a movement that believes freedom of conscience is inalienable.

It's just something you are gonna have to accept. Otherwise, you've already proven that statists are right.

>freedom of conscience.
Assaulting a child is a clear violation of the NAP and something conservatives love to do and defend.

As for other social conservative bullshit. I don't care that they're stupid backwards fucks, my concern is that they make the movement look bad.

>assaulting a child
>spanking

Nope. The child, by living in the home of the adult, consents to punishment/reward mechanisms the adult chooses. They are free to leave as they wish.

>>42
You trying to tell them how to live and act and rent out space within the confines of their home is a violation of the NAP.

A child isn't capable of providing for his or herself, and had no say in it's own conception or the choosing of it's caretakers. It's entirely unreasonable to argue that they consent to anything until they reach a point where they can care for themselves.

On the other hand, it's entirely reasonable to say that the parents have a duty to care for their child to the best of their ability until the child 'comes of age'.

>>44
me telling adults not to assault children is a violation of the NAP? you're insane. you are truly fucking insane.

Lets say you invite me to dinner, is it okay for you to just randomly punch me in the face because i'm in your kitchen? thats insane, thats assualt, thats a violation of the NAP.

>The child, by living in the home of the adult, consents to punishment/reward mechanisms the adult chooses. They are free to leave as they wish.

Yeah, you know, I totally chose what family to be born into. Then I continued to choose every day to live under their rules. It isn't as though they would call the police to have me returned if I tried to run away. It also isn't in any way a violation of my self-ownership to require me to take a positive action to protect my rights. Muggers are participating in a voluntary interaction because hey, if you don't like it, you can just kill him first.

Can we please please PLEASE lay the "if you don't like it you can leave" argument to rest? I mean, what are you even doing here?

Hey ancaps… How do you feel about the subset of ancaps who drink tea and eat biscuits? And what can be done to address this issue?
