Re: If Anarchy can work, how come there are no historical records of it working?
So, I'm a little lost now. Did you agree the idea of freedom from necessity can mean a guarantee of a strong minimal standard of living to all?
I can garrantee that Myrkul would not agree that a freedom from want would not be a human right. When Myrkul says "freedom" he generally means "liberty to excercise our basic human rights, without interference from third parties", but that would result in an awful lot of typing if he had to write it that way every time.
Freedom from want is not a human right, but a human does have the right to not be prevented from seeking out their wants by others; with the cavet that their wants do not harm others in their pursuit.
Oh I agree. I was replying to wdmw
Personally I think the state providing a bare minimum is enough. In the UK, no-one can ever be homeless or hungry unless a terrible thing like drug addiction makes life impossible. The Danes obviously go a lot further.
