The issue here is voluntary vs non voluntary. To force goodness is a contradiction. I wish to trade with who ever I want (within morality) and I do not wish to support people who I deem as undeserving.

I think that sounds about right. To voluntary be a good neighbour is great. Helps build community. Just that in stroud community is super strong but also so is the socialists ideology. Question is, are stroud in the verge of flipping to the bitcoin way and the community will grow even more due to sound money, free market principles or are they a great community but based on shaky ideology that will be its down fall?? I don’t know. All I do know is it’s a great town with some really cool car
This sounds about right. Free market principles based on sound money but with a caring community that voluntarily helps each other. The question is, is Stroud about to flip to this way of thinking and continue to build its community but based on the free market or will it continue on its path of socialism and Things will slowly get worse for them?.
For me this is conflicting as I love the town and it has some really cool people in there however it certainly leans towards socialism with an excellent community spirit
As a fellow Brit I sympathise tremendously. If I may, I would recommend a book called the ominous parralells by Leonard peikoff. Its quite readable and details the philosophical history leading up to Nazi Germany(collective vs the individual, force vs freedom). He then makes a comparison with modern America. Regards
