Haha. Yes, nearly half the world is essentially living in slavery in this regard. That is correct. Essentially the entire world used to approve of owning slaves, and now most everyone considers everyone before us to be wrong in that regard.
It might be helpful to look at Austrian economics, particularly Mises and Rothbard. As far political philosophy goes, which probably wouldn’t be at all convincing without first understanding the basics of Austrian economics, Lysander Spooner is great as is Murray Rothbard’s “Anatomy of the the State.”
I know what I’m saying sounds outlandish and insane, and maybe it is. But I’ve only encountered 1 or 2 people who have read through Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazzlit and or Human Action by Mises and kept their more progressive political outlook.
I’m actually quite relieved at the response to what I’ve said. I was expecting someone to call for my beheading.
Thanks for talking in a civil manner.
