viewing this contextually, when you consent, they are not initiating force. you are paying taxes voluntarily. and you would be surrendering yourself consensually. you're avoiding the question.
So, because I believe there are acceptable forms of force, they have magically transmuted themselves into not being force anymore when done to me. Such a wishy washy Orwellian definition of force is entirely useless. I'm not avoiding the question by any stretch.
ou're avoiding answering it,
Yes, I avoided a leading question. When did you stop beating your wife by the way?
some would say genocide is useful.
Utilitarianism is a moral philosophy where a moral decision must maximize happiness and well being. Genocide certainly doesn't.
Aside from that I'm open to actually arguing about the various utility of various actions.
i believe you've already contradicted yourself.
How? Taxing a million dollars from a billionare barely hurts him. If it's then used to feed 100 families they have greatly benefited. If it's used to save even one life it's benefited that person more than the billionaire has been hurt. If you murder someone you get revenge or whatever and their dead, so they are harmed far more than you benefit. I fail to see your perceived contradiction.
My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.
