Kropotkin stressed that scarcity and hardship were conditions that lead to cooperation and mutual aid.
Ona should read Mutual Aid, then come back and tell us how it's wrong.
Fancy some homework, O?

Ah, misses out his impassioned defense of Pinochet. Wow, that is butthurt.
Not only have I read The Selfish Gene thouroughly, I am also in the process of writing a book about it. It's called "The religious atheists: modern medievalism and the gates to hell." In this book there is a large section in which I rip apart the socalled "altruism" and shows that there is no such thing in biology, only individual self-interest.
Apparently it never dawned on you or the IMF that the causality is misidentified. It is not inequality that causes reduced economic growth, but rather that they have a common cause: lack of economic freedom. Most economies with great inequality are extremely anti-capitalistic. Anti-capitalism causes inequality due to greater market barriers. Large market barriers (caused by regulations and high taxes) favors big business and the rich thereby they are able to outcompete the small and the poor. With no regulation and no taxes the small businesses and the poor become much more able at competition and this reduces inequality. Capitalism is the great equalizer.

incredible.
How incredibly unsurprising. And the whines about bullying... priceless.
Look, I am one lonely knight in shiny armor here, up against dozens of up-to-no-good scumbags. I can't answer absolutely everything. I'm good, but I'm not THAT good. Also, I find it amusing that you STILL believe that I attempted to back myself up with a false ID. What paranoia!

Riiiiight. I bet evolutionary biologists everywhere are dying to read your thoughts. Where are you gonna get it peer-reviewed? What are your professional credentials?

How about answering my questions?
While you're at it, you can answer the question about land tenure too if you like.

Right, so, let us say that there is an ambulance service. Should everyone who has paid up for this service have to carry a certificate to say so? What if you choose not to pay and are then involved in an accident? Or what if you have paid but your certificate wasn't on you at the time? We wouldn't want to accidentally save the life of someone who had not contributed, now, would we?
And what if you're a rich bastard who is refusing to pay up. PAY UP, rich bastard, or we'll come and take you down.
You see what you don't seem to realise is that your vision of a society is more authoritarian, more restrictive, and more rule-ridden than a society with communal provision. It is communal, universal provision that gives people the space to thrive. In your society there would be no space for dissent or experiments in alternative living because everyone would be furiously conforming in order not to go under.
They did used to do this with the fire service. People had plaques on their houses indicating that they were insured with a particular company and that company would come racing out to tackle the blaze if their house caught fire.
Then people realised that having private fire cover didn't help that much if a neighbour's house caught fire and no one did anything to stop it spreading to yours.

You dolt, of course capitalism requires regulation. Corporations are legal fictions, they do not exist outside of the law. Neither do stocks, shares, derivatives, futures, bonds, trade marks, copyrights, patents etc. As capitalists look for new ways to make profits they look at new markets to conquer, new resources to commodify. As they do so, more regulations are needed so that they can enforce their property rights. You say yourself that you think regulation is required for property ffs! Though I don't know why you think that property relations are the only forms of social interaction that you think should be regulated. btw did you pluck that 5% figure out of your own arse?
Another arse pluck stat.
Why not? Why do you think you have the right to get whatever you want all the time, regardless of everybody else. Seriously, libertarians are just thumb sucking two year olds.

I wonder if any of them can debate a topic straight without resorting to argument by relentless assertion that black is white, and similar techniques.

It wasn't Dawkins' work. I think it was Axelrod originally, but I'd have to look it up. Dawkins just added a very well-explained chapter on it because he was (rightly, IMO) excited by the development. And also, I suspect, because it helps him win points in his strawman fight with the species-level selectionists.

Onarchy, I'm sorry but you don't get to characterise everyone who disagrees with you randist mentalism as a fascist. It doesn't work like that. Words have meanings and unless we are faithful to those meanings words lose their power. I'd imagine that anyone who has been a victim of real fascism may well want to strangle you until you turn blue for trivialising the true horror of fascism in this way. Grow up, you're not a 15 year old who's been grounded and the state isn't your mum.
