I continue to think it’s hilarious that anyone takes the AnCap philosophers from Rothbard onward seriously, as they struggle to figure out whether it’s ethically allowed under the principles of self-ownership for parents of children to let them starve to death or not, by intentionally withholding food. https://mises.org/library/children-and-rights

By the way this was a REAL debate Nozick had with Rothbard! The way I see people fawn over Rothbard as a moral giant sometimes makes me so angry. Yeah, he hated the state. You hate the state. I get it. But the implications of his strict natural rights theory were monstrous. So much so that even other libertarian philosophers thought he was fucking nuts.
