..productive, fueled by the efforts of people to..improve their circumstances and those of others via voluntary interactions. To better understand what is meant by "equal" and "voluntary," consider this. When you and your neighbor reach an impasse, you may often "agree to disagree." If you have a disagreement with an official of the government, a more aggressive person - an enforcer - will take up the dispute; if you do not back down, you will be captured and kidnapped, or even killed. The mere act of resisting such kidnapping is itself deemed to be a crime, one which justifies - in the eyes of the government - your death. [This submission comes from Terry McIntyre] Equality and Isonomy, Sebastian Ortiz The idea of isonomy, or equality before the law, is based on prohibitions (do not steal, extort, attack, etc.) applying universally to all persons and institutions, and is contrary and incompatible with the socialist ideal of equality. Isonomy means that valid rules apply to all persons capable of intentional action. Equality, understood as a static and homogenous distribution of material goods among particular persons in the human population, is not only impossible, but undesirable for it goes against innovation, improvement, and the personal variations in obsessions, tastes, and preferences which bring about voluntary exchange; the very same exchanges intensify an unequal distribution of material goods among different persons based on what they like, at the cost of what they don't like, so that when those who prefer to spend may exchange with those who prefer to accumulate, they increase inequality by contributing to each other's goals on a peaceful, voluntary basis. To argue for equality as a desirable state of affairs is of the Devil, where by the devil we mean those falsehoods, intellectual errors, misunderstandings, impulses, behaviors and ignorance which if put into action result in crime. That is, the violent and forceful violation of someone's physical dominions (their body and their property) for the profit of others. To desire equality in the distribution of material goods is to desire an impossible state of affairs which goes against human preference, cooperation and choice; that is to say, equality in the material distribution of goods goes against human liberty.

The Front Range Voluntaryist Issue #10 (1) 74%

23-28) 1 Interview With Michael Huemer, by Non Facies Furtum Michael Huemer received his BA from UC Berkeley in 1992 and his PhD from Rutgers University in 1998. He is presently professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is the author of more than 60 academic articles in ethics, epistemology, political philosophy, and metaphysics, as well as four amazing books that you should definitely buy: Skepticism and the Veil of Perception (2001), Ethical Intuitionism (2005), The Problem of Political Authority (2013), and Approaching Infinity (2016). As he is a very influential libertarian philosopher active in the Front Range area, we contacted him for an interview and asked several questions related to the philosophy of liberty, and to his work. FRV: Can you outline your strongest argument for why the state lacks legitimate authority? MH: We don't need an argument that the state lacks authority. We would need an argument that the state has authority. If there's no reason why the state would be relevantly different from other agents, then we should assume the state is subject to the same moral principles as other agents. Now, there are several philosophical theories about why the state has authority. I discuss the most important ones at length in The Problem of Political Authority. But none of the theories is any good. All of them either (a) appeal to factually false claims, or (b) appeal to claims that, even if true, simply would not establish anyone's authority. An example of (a) is the claim everybody at some time agreed to establish a state (of course this never happened). An example of (b) would be the claim that a majority of people support the state (if a majority of people want something, that doesn't make that thing right). I can't fairly present all the theories of authority, nor the problems with them, here. I wrote a 350-page book to do that (among other things), and all of it needs to be read to understand the complete argument. But the basic reason I don't believe in authority is simply that no one has given any good reason why the state would have authority. In brief, no one has told me why 535 people in Washington have the right to tell everyone else what to do. If there was a good answer to that, someone would probably have thought of it by now. FRV: What do you think is the most practical path to achieving a stateless society? MH: I don't know. What I am doing is trying to get more people to understand anarcho-capitalism, in the hope that if enough people understand the theory and why it's a good idea, it will eventually come about. We could move toward anarchy gradually. For example, we could start with local governments outsourcing policing duties to private security guard companies. (Of course, there would need to be a number of competing security companies, and an easy mechanism for citizens to change companies.) Similarly, courts could start referring more cases to private arbitrators. If these experiments went well, they could be expanded, and the government shrunk at the same time. Of course, this probably would not happen until there was much greater understanding of and support for free markets. I don't know whether this is the best path. But it's one possible path that seems to me worth considering. FRV: You have written much on the subject of ethical intuitionism; can you explain this idea, and provide some examples of how applying it to moral situations leads to the conclusion that the state is an immoral institution? 2 MH: The theory holds that we have intuitive awareness of some objective ethical truths, and this is the basis for the rest of our knowledge of ethics. I've written a book on the subject (Ethical Intuitionism), as well as a number of academic articles. You're basically asking me, "Hey, could you summarize your 300-page book in a couple of minutes?" To which the most accurate answer would be, "No, I can't." There's nothing I could say in a brief space that wouldn't be misleading. (The book is 300 pages because there is a complex set of ideas and arguments that require that amount of space to fairly present.) But I can give you some examples of the moral problems with the state. One example is about taxation. Suppose that I personally decided to start "taxing" people. I go around to people's houses demanding a cut of their total income, which I plan to use for a charity that I run to help the poor. I threaten to kidnap and imprison my neighbors if they don't give me the money. This would be regarded as clearly wrong, and no one would think they owed me the money. I would be called a thief and an extortionist. But that is like the government's behavior when it collects taxes. The difference between "extortion" and "taxation" is just that one is done by a private agent, and the other is done by the government. A second example concerns military intervention. What if I announced, one day, that a certain foreign country might be building weapons of mass destruction, and that they had to be stopped? What if I got a group of friends together, flew to that country, and started shooting people and blowing up buildings, in an effort to change that country's government? Most would consider my behavior wrong even if the foreign government was really bad. I would be labelled a terrorist and a mass murderer. But this is like the government's behavior when it goes to war. The chief difference between "terrorism"

In February 2015, a class action complaint was filed against the City of Ferguson asserting that the city’s jails had become a “modern debtors’ prison scheme” that had “devastated the City’s poor, trapping them for years in a cycle of increased fees, debts, extortion, and cruel jailings.”1 Moreover, the Department of Justice’s report on the Ferguson Police Department presents a scathing indictment of a system apparently more concerned with revenue collection than justice.
