I'm still banned for 7 weeks, so I'll just rebut some bullshit I came across here.
>Actually he's doubly wrong about that first point. Anarcho-capitalists, so-called "libertarians," etc actually very much do care if the poor work their way out of it, in that they want to prevent it.
Oh, that's an interesting position. I will do my best to be a greedy Anarcho-Capitalist and see how your theory fits in with my philosophy.
>It means less competition for them,
False. The economy is primarily cooperative, any give industry is cooperating with 95% of other industries. For instance, if I run a steel mill, I am cooperating with (and benefiting from the competition in) the computer industry, construction industry, mining industry, etc. I AM ONLY competing, directly, with steel mills (I am also, in some sense, competing with substitutes for steel.)
Poor people succeeding, in all likelihood, means there's more competition in another industry to provide me cheaper inputs for my business, or cheaper consumer goods.
>and in case someone poor does manage to discover something that will make them one-percenters, someone will try to steal it from them first.
Intellectual property is a bogus concept. You owe the person who invented the term $5 for using it btw
>Most poor people who get into better economic positions believe that they are now rich. They think that because they can become doctors who earn, say, $150,000 annually and invest for the future, they have "made it." Well, true that globally speaking they are among the richest people on the planet, but even they are working-class even though they've been duped into believing that they are "in on it."
No arguments to refute here, just assertions.
>There is no clear path to being ultra-wealthy except for people who are complete and utter sociopaths.
There is no clear path to being ultra-wealthy, period. And sociopathic tendencies are only slightly higher in high-achieving businessmen and women.
>I'm not talking about, say, Stirner-like people who have eschewed spooks, I'm talking about people who have something wrong with them. Even spook-free people have certain neurological developments that allow them to empathize with others. You must honestly have brain damage to be a sociopath; there is something deeply wrong with porky's brain, and it's economically powerful but in all the wrong ways.
Oh yeah, communists historically have been brimming with empathy as they executed those horrible dissidents!
>There's nothing kind or even freeing about ancaps.
>nothing kind
Kind enough to want everyone to be on the same moral playing field- no ruling class with the right to coerce (coerce being used as it's actually defined you humpty-dumptying fuck)
>nothing free
see above, no rulers is as free as you can get without being a tyrant yourself
