A response to XOmniverse's video questioning
whether Ayn Rand's opposition to Anarchism
was inconsistent with her philosophy,
objectivism.
I provide my own theory of the legitimacy of
government and of taxes, and suggest that it
is (a) consistent with Rand's philosophy, and
(b) gives further explaination for why Rand's
opposition to Anarchism is not inconsistent
with her philosophy.
I also discuss Rand's characterization of
government legitimacy: that government gets
its power from the governed, with the consent
of the governed. I propose that that idea -
being an idea proposed also by Hobbes, Locke,
and Rousseau (whose philosophies were quite
different from Rand's) - is actually a bad
fit with Rand's philosophy.
NOTE: I do not propose that my theories of
government and taxation were proposed by
Rand. I do think that they are logically
consistent with Rand's philosophy. Tags :AynRandObjectivismanarchisttaxesgovernment
