@lain Thank you for the epub. I usually get those from annas-archive.org. It's nice to not have to deal with their waitlist.
@lain Yeah, true. What’s a good book on this that I can read that explains your views in detail? I started reading The Machinery of Freedom but I couldn’t find anything other than a PDF which was inconvenient to read on a phone.
@lain @mangeurdenuage how could that work? policing and military defense inherently by their nature involve force or violence
@lain @mangeurdenuage cc: @evelyn You describe yourself as a "trade unionist". What do you think of this?
@lain @mangeurdenuage I used to wonder why libertarians such as yourself were against unions if they are voluntary organisations formed by workers to protect their interests. I didn't think working with government was that widespread.
@lain @mangeurdenuage do you think it's possible for collective bargaining by workers to exist without anyone applying force?
@interfluidity @dushman Isn't that what socialism historically was? "Worker's ownership of the means of production"
Has anyone got a download for Sita Sings The Blues that works while the Internet Archive is offline?

I'm not a scientist but I'm not sure that a popularity contest is the best proxy for scientific importance. I admit that I can't think of another way that's objectively measurable though.
@lain @mangeurdenuage would you be okay with unions that are / if they were completely voluntary organisations that had no contacts in government at all?
