Raise the Hammer

LL, this is what I said... "As to whether or not their culture allows for private property is irrelevant, they either play by the rules that the rest of the world does, or they get run over. That's reality." As you can see, I am not picking on a group of people based on their race, but simply pointing out that if the natives of Brazil want to keep their way of life, it means they have to know their enemy. In this case, wealthy corporations that will place a stake in the ground and claim it as their own. To suggest they don't lay claim to the land as their own, based on some romantic notion of cultural innocence, will only serve to speed their cultural destruction. Ignorance in this case is not bliss, but dangerous.

Furthermore, even animals lay claim to their territory, so this concept is not unique to supporters of capitalism. It is simply a logical extension of dealing with resources that are scarce.

However, if you are correct and the no owner/boss business model is indeed the most innovative and most productive one, then the free market, based on property rights and individual freedom will allow it to prosper. The free market doesn't care about how a business is organized, only that it satisfies the consumers wants and needs.

Therefore, feel free to promote the idea of non-hierarchical businesses, but then allow the consumer to decide whether they should succeed or fail. In this way, it will be the individual who decides what the optimum business model should be and not a group of frustrated workers. Otherwise, the only option to keep people from accumulating wealth is to use violence. If you are suggesting that violence is a reasonable method of enforcing equality, then you are nothing more than a thief, unable to create value on your own, but brash enough to think you deserve it anyways.

Do you believe in using violence to attain your goal of abolishing private property?
