I think voluntary cooperation & mutual aid are natural hallmarks of free market capitalism. A cultural respect for property rights is quite literally the only thing that ensures weak people are able to own anything at all. Everything else is some version of might makes right. I DO think that people who contribute little to society should not be able to command resources out of all proportion to the value they create for others, but that's just rooted in a basic sense of what is fair or sane IMO. I have no desire to see people suffer or struggle unnecessarily, but I know that systems which tear down the capable & productive to prevent the discomfort of the unproductive have historically imposed more senseless suffering on human kind than any other sort of arrangement. I believe that allowing productive people to create as much value for others as they can without anyone stealing from them produces the best sort of society & benefits the poor & unskilled more than any amount of structural theft possibly could. I don't believe that allowing others to create good & services that I want (but cannot be forced to buy) gives anyone power over me. I don't believe another person having a lot of money can force me to sell anything I own.
The concept of "social justice" is one of the most evil things ever conceived. It is both anti-social & unjust. It can be very fulfilling & spiritually rewarding to help others, but being forced to support others against your will is completely destructive to both the human spirit & human relations. Transforming some ethnic group or minority into an economic & politcal burden is the surest way to sew hatred among the people being burdened. The sort of threats & actions needed to steal from one group & give to another are neither social nor just. Collective punishment or attempting to impose some collective responsibility for the actions of others is widely recognized as a war crime. #socialjustice #socialism #capitalism #freetrade #anarchocapitalism #agorism nostr:nevent1qqsvra9h8pp99nzxsps5qmfuxy9pnl9gzy3e3u0lm3eeclwk4ve05ccppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5pzpmyeahz4vlszs90mz5pq9p0zl2pepycuah6eeq7khvk97mhp2v9eqvzqqqqqqyqh63rc
