@NickSzabo4 First private property was theft, now your knowledge is too.

@mikegeister @NickSzabo4 the phrase "property is theft" was actually referring to State property; Proudhon also said "property is freedom."

@lightcoin @mikegeister This isn't the way leftists interpret the phrase. Citation?

@NickSzabo4 @mikegeister see citation [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_is_theft!#cite_note-1 … "I took care to speak out against any communist conclusion."

@lightcoin @mikegeister Vague. Don't see specific exception of private property, which is normally what people refer to by that label.

@NickSzabo4 @mikegeister pp 56 - 58 "Let us take up this great question of property...", pp 59 - 60 "Property." http://radgeek.com/gt/2011/10/Markets-Not-Capitalism-2011-Chartier-and-Johnson.pdf …

@NickSzabo4 @mikegeister Proudhon was not an anti-propertarian. He just didn't respect State titles or State-privileged property owners.

@lightcoin @mikegeister The people who quote this phrase are anti-propertarian, whether or not Proudhon himself was.

@NickSzabo4 Socialism=Death. Always.

Reds under beds! RT @mongoosenewyork: @NickSzabo4 Socialism=Death. Always.

@RedScareBot @NickSzabo4 I lived in the USSR. It's not a laughing matter.

@mongoosenewyork @RedScareBot About as funny as slavery, yet there's are some very ignorant twits who think they sound clever on this topic.
