> All your questions will be answered by reading, chapter 4 of Prudhon “What is property?”

Here's one question that it won't answer: Why should I believe Proudhon? Sure, he may sound correct. Lots of other people sound correct, too. What is your basis for saying that I should listen to Proudhon rather than all these other people?

> If you want things to be better than the stone ages then stop acting like “might makes right” is an ethical position, its “stone age” philosophy that needs to end

I did not advocate that as an ethical position - you're imputing that to me. I deny you the right to tell me what my ethical position is. And you should stop trying, not just because you don't have the right, but also because you're lousy at it.

I'm done with the conversation, since you seem quite clearly to be uninterested in listening. I will leave you the last word if you want it.




>What is your basis for saying that I should listen to Proudhon rather than all these other people?

My suggestion is to read them all and come to your own conclusions


I said I was done with the conversation, but: Good answer. Credit where due.
