BruceVC Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 That's his quote and that's what he believes. I find his ideals interesting in themselves (kinda like Star Trek), but unattainable due to the plurality of civilizations and nations with different moral principles in terms of ingroup/outgroups. He also hates pornography. //Edit: But he is right in his criticisms from time to time. For example "Manufactured Consent" highlights quite well how policy can be created through cooperation between the political power and the mainstream media. It's not an opinion-piece, it's a gathering of empirical data on how news were created and to what amount. Kinda like what social sciences should do. 'Now a federated, decentralised system of free associations, incorporating economic as well as other social institutions, would be what I refer to as anarcho-syndicalism; and it seems to me that this is the appropriate form of social organisation for an advanced technological society in which human beings do not have to be forced into the position of tools, of cogs in the machine. There is no longer any social necessity for human beings to be treated as mechanical elements in the productive process; that can be overcome and we must overcome it to be a society of freedom and free association, in which the creative urge that I consider intrinsic to human nature will in fact be able to realize itself in whatever way it will.'kay Okay so first but serious criticism ...its very difficult to even understand his point because he uses his own strange terms and vernacular to describe things and he is well known for personal bias ...so what does this even mean human beings do not have to be forced into the position of tools, of cogs in the machine ( what is he suggesting....human beings are not cogs ) human beings to be treated as mechanical elements in the productive process (please dont tell he has an issue with people getting jobs ) society of freedom and free association ( please dont tell me he thinks the USA isn't free? ) As i said, you have to understand what you're ciriticing in order to provide with a counter-argument.

Amentep Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Right, and you (to a lesser extent than others) are trying to have her prosecuted under a rule set that was devised and kept on the books when Stealing a Horse was a justifiably hangable offense. When women couldn't vote and renting a room at a hotel as a married couple (when you're not) meant you were married. IIRC, legally the penalty for horse thievery was not death. Hanging of horse thieves was done by vigilantes (even if some were "lawmen") not by the state. And while universal voting for Women wasn't ratified until the 1920s, there are records of women voting in 1756 (Lydia Taft) and New Jersey law gave women property owners (of property above a certain size) the vote until 1807 when laws officially disenfranchised women. I'd be curious to know which states had laws about unmarried couples being married due to virtue of renting a room together. Most of the common law marriage laws I've heard of have a cohabitation rule that would not be met by sleeping together in a hotel room (and would also result in a lot of John-Prostitute marriages).
