    I have, that’s why I consider it an open debate and not a settled matter. :-) Geoism is a great example because we created the products of our labor, but not the land on which they rest.

    The Lockean Proviso says we just need to leave enough for others, but there’s no longer any livable unclaimed land left on Earth. If there’s no place left for anyone to realistically homestead, then every landlord is violating the NAP. We can’t just disappear into the woods and be left alone anymore - “you’re camping on private property”.

    Seriously bro, look up the history of libertarianism! Even if it doesn’t change your mind about anything, it’s useful to understand the context.

    “One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over…”
