RE: Have to share this. ATTN: All “Pragmatists” “Let’s All Just Get Along” Types. THIS IS WHAT YOU FAIL TO GRASP.

“What statists of all types fail to understand is that anarchists don’t believe what they do from a utilitarian perspective."

It's pretty clearly a idealistic notion. I think there are a lot of people who think it is a practical notion and that's where the rub is. So you have a philosophy that makes you feel philosophically correct but that is unworkable in the real world. I think a lot of people would like a detailed and realistic plan for implementing such a vision. So what is the solution to that?

Right is right. Wrong is wrong. If you want to compromise that, and use force on non-violent individuals as a means of existence, do it to yourself.

how is that an answer to my question?

funbobby51,
Ok, here we go. Let's discuss real world.

--Is Individual Subjective Value what successful economies are based on, or Authoritarian Theory of value?

Until you answer this question about reality, I see no reason that you can understand real world ideas.

that's not an answer to my question.

The answer is the answer to your question.

Do you know what the 'Subjective Theory of Value' is?

Do you understand statism and the subjective theory of value are not the same?

Those questions are not "a detailed and realistic plan for implementing such a vision".

The plans exist. They are real. Socialism/Communism is based in statism. These have been proven to fail in reality. The lifecycle of failure for a socialist economy that ignores subjective value and operates a authority theory of value has historically been approx. 100 years.

Economies that are based on subjective value outside of socialism show no signs of failure.

Subjective value has already been implemented and in the areas that aren't suppressed by statism it flourishes while the statist systems slow grind down the capacity for tangible capital formation.

There is simply no contest or argument that Authoritarian theory of value is better than subjective theory of value. That is the real world, there are just some positions that continue to be antiquated.

I agree, socialism and communism are terrible and outdated.

Would you agree that the reasons it is terrible and outdated have to do with authoritarianism and suppression of subjective value?
