Sheldon Richman: Libertarismo tem como premissa a dignidade e a posse, por si próprio, do indivíduo, que sexismo e racismo negam. Portanto, todas as formas de hierarquia coletivista solapam a atitude libertária e portanto as perspectivas de uma sociedade livre.

Sheldon Richman: Libertarianism is premised on the dignity and self-ownership of the individual, which sexism and racism deny. Thus all forms of collectivist hierarchy undermine the libertarian attitude and hence the prospects for a free society.

Mandatory restitution to the victim is justified on libertarian grounds as an expression of defensive coercion; but punishment, I believe, constitutes not defensive but retaliatory coercion, and so is not permissible.

Intellectual property is not necessary to encourage innovation, this means that its main practical effect is to cause economic inefficiency by levying a monopoly charge on the use of existing technology.

If gender is used to oppress us, then it’s a meaningful concept to understand if we want to understand the idea of “liberty”.

Free Nation that undertook to enforce slavery contracts would not be a Free Nation worth fighting to build or to defend.

Less Antman: Anarquía no es un sistema. Es una actitud de respeto a los demás, y un rechazo de las relaciones amo-esclavo (sin exceptuar a los funcionarios estatales).

The measure of statism inheres in the functioning of the overall system, not in the formal statism of its separate parts.

A genuinely radical project beckons, one that integrates the explanatory power of libertarian social theory and the context-keeping orientation of dialectical method.

It requires that we question the fundamental basis of the current statist system.

So it seems that any attempt by the anti-corporatist free market movement to engage with the mainstream Left will focus, of necessity, on a few issues.
