Some relevant thoughts of mine:
- I'd disagree that one's "right" to self ownership/freedom is innate. Instead I'd say that either processes (slavery or capitalism) can be implemented in a society, and that if a group/individual within a society wants ownership/freedom/capitalism, he must use retaliatory force to make it so... otherwise those who would like to enslave will do so!
- Quick comeback to any who suggest that redistribution is good for (insert children/impoverished/minority): "So what you are saying is that its good to kill a person who created resources in order to save the life of another whom no one would volunteer to help?"
- Quick overview of where our society is going: "Imagine a society where: People have/afford few or no children if they honestly produce resources to provide for them (Self Sufficient Producers SSP). A man has tons of children if he mates with all the women he can, and a woman has a child every time she becomes fertile, and neither man nor woman work to produce resources for themselves or their children, instead they democratically vote for others in society to be forced to give resources to them (Dependent Leeching Consumers DLC). SSP will quickly become the minority to the higher birthing rate of the DLC. Standard of living will go down as the DLC:SSP ratio goes up since more and more people will be living on each SSP's produce. Hopefully DLCs will not sack and destroy all SSP property when the DLC:SSP ratio becomes so overwhelming that DLCs and SLPs begin to die from malnourishment. Maybe one day SSPs will attain the technology/band together to protect themselves from DLCs, despite DLC majority. Maybe one day SSPs will colonize a new place in the world or beyond, and be able to live free from DLCs.
