That’s fair enough, if Ag feels like he needs to bring it up every single time, be my guest. However, he hasn’t proved that my views are utopian, but let’s just forget that and keep pigeon holing me as a utopian. That’s the left wing way – don’t prove anything, but keep repeating it, because we all know that 100 times repeated lie becomes a truth.
Implying that I'm the only one you hammers you for your completely unrealistic 'political theories' is way off base. A dozen people from this site have voiced the exact same issues I have with your Anarcho-Capitalism.

I feel like I've told you this dozens of times, but I guess I have to keep saying it. Your 'political theories' much more resemble Philosophy than 'Reality'. You can't take the Real World, which works by Real Rules, and then take single cases and apply your Anarcho-Capitalism as the way to go.

You think all governments are thieves who steal from us? Totally acceptable, I don't have a problem with that. But in a thread that deals with 'reality', your completely philosophical rules are inapplicable. Plain and Simple.

To have a discussion about international politics, one first has to accept the Right of Nation-States to exist. If you believe that Governments are thieves who steal form the populations of the earth, then you're not likely to contribue anything of merit to a 'reality' based discussion.

That's the problem I have with your Anarcho-Capitalist 'Utopianism', and obviously the reason I keep using the term 'Utopian'. I think everyone could think of their 'dream-state' (or lack thereof), but they don't then take their fantasy theory and then apply it to real international events. Oil and Water.

And you've been told that by MANY more people here than I, so don't make it out like I'm the only one who disagrees with you. Start a thread espousing your theories and fleshing them out. See if you're right and I'm just an *******.
