The problem, as I see it, is everyone has their own definition of "moderate". That's one reason why I think Rothbard makes a valid argument. You really should read that book to understand "the other side".
Thanks for the recommendation, I never read him. One thing I appreciate about "Anatomy of the State" is that it's quick, easy, and directly to the point. Edit: and IMHO quite difficult to refute.
Of course, it's all gaslighting and playing to their base. Marco Rubio is probably giving her lessons.
I won't litigate this here since I'm not familiar with Nozick's ideas. However, what I've quickly gleaned from this is that "they differed sharply over measurement of intensive magnitudes" and that alone gives me pause for concern re: Nozick and Rawls. If the diamond/water paradox has taught me anything, its that you can't compare matters which are subjective. Ergo.... the conclusion that the pendulum swings between state and social power.
Seriously Tux... if there were only room for one more person in the life boat and you had to choose who gets it: me or your daughter? Are you going to flip a perfectly fair coin? That seems to be the argument in a nutshell. Of course you'd choose your daughter and I wouldn't blame you... but I'd probably fight you. And, you couldn't blame me for that.
Remember, I might choose myself, especially if I’d only just met you and didn’t yet know you were an Anarchy-capitalist My whole attitude is that once in the water, something will turn up. Always has. These dilemmas are thought experiments, but in the real world, you can often create new options. The solution to the trolley problem is to ''slip the switch' by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment, bringing the trolley to a safe halt.
