Capitalism = Corporate Police State
And here is an excellent demonstration of what I mean
Funny, isn't it? In any society, the government has a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. But one way to attack objectivists is to claim that preventing force in society equals initiating force. When you ban the use of force, you no longer have a means of imposing taxes and regulations on your fellow man through the letigimacy of legislation. THIS IS WRONG! First you can't demand steel tariffs, next thing you know they are taking away your right to burglarize houses. If we surrender our ability to seize property though taxation, who will fund my medical expenses? Anyone but me, goddamn it.
Notice the reversal in this cartoon. We are admitting that force is bad, yet we are attacking the only system that prevents force, and we ourselves stand for different variants of collectivism, which all require force. We are either all duplicitous liars, or a bunch of fucking ignorant assholes. Maximizing my personal utility requires infringing the rights of others. I won't live in a police state that forces other people's rights on me.
