      Okay, cool But do you recognize that until the glorious dawn in which the state and all laws are abolished occurs, abolishing SOME laws and SOME regulations while leaving other ones intact is, in fact, just giving power to some people while taking it from others

      Minimum wage laws are, according to the Econ 101 definition of the term, a form of "rent-seeking" Should we go ahead and cave to the people who want to abolish them, satisfied in the knowledge it's a mere stepping stone to abolishing property and the state

      *bzzt* Wrong answer Ricardo already got this right centuries ago. Capital takes surplus value and that in itself is rent seeking, minimum wage is a legal attempt to equalize the imbalance along with taxes. But please continue to tell me what I'm suppose to not know, Art.

      Ricardo was a piece of shit who thought a general increase in wages for the British working class would be socially undesirable because they would just drink more so I don't know why you're stanning so hard for the dude

      Attacking his character doesn't refute his theory. Wake me up when you actually refute his theories. Until then, I'm just gonna point and laugh at you.

      I don't really disagree with his description of what "rent seeking" is, I just think it's a fine and good and necessary thing for a society to have The question is just who's charging the rents to whom

      Syndicalism is, for the record, the flavor of anarchism I think has the best chance of getting off the ground in the world we live in, for the exact reason its more-radical detractors dislike it ("It's just turning workers' collectives into the new capitalists")

      This isn't because I have any great love for "workerism" or extolling good hearty workers who hit stuff with hammers as being better human beings than the lumpen who don't But people do in fact have the right to organize around controlling the product of their labor

      That we can definitely agree on. But IP law as is majoratively benefits corporations. It's gotten to a point that people producing medicines at cost in other markets are forced by treaty/law to cease production even if the patent holder has no interest in said market.

      "IP maximalism" vs "IP minimalism" is really a poor way of viewing this topic These are several different laws that get bundled together and there's no inherent reason to treat them all the same Patents for lifesaving meds aren't the same law as copyright for video games

      There are some reforms I think are obviously reasonable (reducing copyright terms, for instance) that have nothing to do with the stuff people are currently fighting about, like CDL

          (I think it's pretty obvious that long copyright terms benefit corporations more than small individuals but that by contrast widespread piracy of currently copyrighted works hurt the small individuals proportionately way more than the big corporations)

          Like I don't think people get that the DMCA and the concept of a DMCA takedown request was specifically invented for the benefit of small individual creators It's an enforcement process that doesn't require you have a legal team on retainer to send letters back and forth all day

          I think I'm generally inclined towards reducing intellectual property rights rather than expanding them, yeah. A lot of it is pretty specific in different industries, though.

          I think patents need to be curtailed especially in their applicability. Algorithms and natural processes should be excluded. It's the bare minimum for me.
