I knew that you were a defender of private property, I was only challenging your assertion that it didn't have a philosophical justification, only a practical one. I don't want want to eliminate the public sphere, I just want to limit it to ONLY the protection of rights (military, police, and criminal and civil courts, all controlled by objective law).

im a fierce defender of private property. What im talking about isnt the elimination of the private sphere, its just i dont want to eliminate the public sphere entirely either. I tend to favor the liberatarianism on most things.

Youtube messed up my comments a little, so to read them in the correct order, start with "You have interesting ideas...," read the replies to it, and then go back to the top for the last one. Sorry for the length, take it as a compliment. If I thought you were dumb I wouldn't have bothered.

to go. Once you start getting the government involved in business, you replace the "aristocracy" of ability with an aristocracy of pull. This is where lobbyists come from, not the fact that businessmen are "greedy," but the fact that the government has undue powers. You may not completely agree with all of this, but I think that you are intelligent and on the write track. I HIGHLY recommend you read Ayn Rand. I very much liked how concisely you summarized the fallacy of "wage slavery."
