  1. Private property is theft of the commons. No one has the right or power to take what is a gift of nature and declare it their exclusive property.

    That a corporation can maintain that they OWN the water, or any other natural resource, is an absurdity not worthy of debate.

  2. My thoughts on the debate:

    1) Did anyone else think it was hilarious how Sweden was their example of socialism? Hah! Sweden is nothing close to socialism, it's a tame social democracy at best. The "socialists" in the video are really just standard left-liberals IMO. To be fair, they were way more practical than 90% of lefties and even conceded that deregulation and markets aren't always pure evil.

    2) The anarcho guys did a terrible job handling the acid rain and river-dam problems. The socialist's remark about how everything is ultimately backed by force was actually a pretty good response IMO. And how the hell do you come to own a river just by fishing in it? Madness! It almost makes me drift closer to..dare I say it...Brainpolice's point of view.
