Anarchists and some other libertarians have made abundantly clear that they are okay with looting of private businesses and private property destruction if the motive is to get back at the police.

This is NOT a world I want to live in.

THREAD

I've always been concerned that anarchists, while they claim to just not want rulers, truly just don't want any law enforced, or any law at all.

The police killed an innocent civilian in cold blood. Why on Earth does that make arson and looting okay?

Taxation is theft. So is looting.

Destroying private property overseas in war violates the NAP. So does arson.

Target has some shady business practices, but they are unrelated to police brutality. The people working there and at AutoZone for minimum wage did nothing wrong.

Police violence is not an excuse to attack and commit crimes against private businesses. It is only distracting from the murder of an innocent man, which should be our focus.

If anarchists want a world where a crime committed by one person justifies theft, private property damage/other crimes against parties not involved, I want no part of it.

If they want a place where the mob can steal and destroy your property and be cheered, I want no part of it.

If they want a place where the only private property rights you have are those you can personally defend yourself against the bandits who would steal from you, I want no part of it.

If they want to call taxation theft but then glorify looting electronics, I want no part of it.

True colors have been shown. I will not forget.

FIN.
