Surely slogans such as ‘Bitcoin fixes this’ are enough?!

Ahah, love it :)

I see they don't question taxation (theft) as the societal foundation. Anybody who doesn't bring up this topic first will cry for more authoritarianism over voluntary interaction that can heal old wounds.

You can't have capitalism without cheap labour

Why not? As long as people can buy what they need and have quality of life, that labour can be cheap for someone. Or not?

Maybe he does though. This is just a post. Maybe he's pretty voluntaryist in his thinking. Who knows? I know I am voluntaryist, for me the most voluntaryist way is always the best. In my view the very wealthy in the right conditions will definitely want to contribute. If the ideas are good, and they offer legacy, productivity, power maintenance, everybody will want to come in. I think the real problem with taxation for most people is that it's money spent in the most ridiculous of things. I fully agree!

You can still spend voluntarily collected money in hilarious ways. The difference is. That is when the flow of money stops. The main problem with theft and extortion are criminal acts at the foundation of "civilised" society. It's poison running through the veines of every institution built on top of it.

Cheap labour drives cheap pricing and production. It's the most expensive input cost usually, cheaper you can get it, the bigger the margin.

Yeah, beyond a certain point wealth doesn't even benefit the rich. Because wealth only has value as long as everyone plays the "have respect for other people's property game." People tend to play this game because we're all safer as a result from doing so, and the rich benefit especially from everyone playing this game. But when the majority of the population are ground down so deeply into the mud that they stop respecting other people's property then property itself becomes worthless.
