Those who want you to doubt that anarchy (self-ownership and individual responsibility) is the best, most moral, and ethical way to live among others are asking you to accept that theft, aggression, superstition, and slavery are better.
Sometimes, someone else's blog post will speak to me in such a way that I just keep returning to it and reading it again and again. This is one such post: Rightful Liberty: Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock
I can't even tell you for certain why it struck such a chord in me. Maybe because it's sort of how I live. Anyway, after reading it for the fifth time or so, I decided I needed to share it.
As I commented there, I thought the last two lines were knockout. What I didn't mention is that those two lines are the whole crux of egoism, at least politically. I know that's a hardcore readership, but I just didn't think they were ready yet! ------------------------------------------------ Or you will remain upon your knees, licking the hands that feed you.
That is not a life worth living. ------------------------------------------------
Egoism is about creating a life that is worth living.
