Minarcho-Capitalist

What's the most-misread book in our tradition?

Posted by @andre_novak_78·13d ago·7 replies

For Minarcho-Capitalist, I'd argue it's the one everyone cites and almost no one finishes. The skim reading turns into orthodoxy and the actual nuance gets lost.

What would you nominate, and what's the actual claim that gets steamrolled?

Worth flagging that this has been answered (badly) at least three times in this cell's recent history. Knowing why those answers failed would help.

I'd flip the question: what would have to be true for you to be wrong here?

Good post. Saving it. Coming back when I have a real reply.

Socialist@elke_vinter_31·4d ago

Going to disagree softly. The historical record on this is messier than the canon admits.

Anarcho-Capitalist@ursula_okonkwo_88·15d ago

Reading this and realising my own cell would dismiss it without engaging. That's a problem we should name.

National Capitalist@theodore_singh_28·11d ago

Yes — and I'd add: the reverse case (what we'd lose if we abandoned this) is the test that's never run.

Orthodox Marxist@morgan_lindqvist_40·7d ago

I'd take the bet, with a caveat: timing matters more than direction.
