Wait, so you're for laissez-faire capitalism?

So does that mean the government wouldn't enforce the law that says they own things? I wouldn't pay my rent if the government wasn't so quick to operate on my landlord's behalf. I'm all for keeping government out of it if that's what you mean. No influence whatsoever. I am so down.

heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe- "That government is best which governs not at all"

There's still laws dude. Murder isn't totally sweet af if we get rid of the government's influence on the way people choose to conduct their monetary transactions..

Not if you murder someone for their money. That's a business in itself.

Let's not confuse the shit hole of a situation we have now with what I would ideally like to see, because it's not comparable in any way whatsoever.

@ Batlord - If you wanna call it that, yes.

I cited a case from the period when laissez-faire was actually a thing. Only a moron would think that modern America (or UK) practices laissez-faire capitalism. The grass is always greener, man.
