Why don't we just go with an "Objective" system.
In order to be objective, an outside observer would have to be able to come to the same conclusions every time without the need to refer to subjective constructions.

Property is such a goofy and subjective concept that it could never be objectively determined without a ridiculous framework that could resolve problems like "Who owns property stolen from a group that was eliminated through genocide."

I propose a truly"Objective" morality system:
1. Possession is property.
2. Might makes right.

Nice and easy. So objective, so ethical.

No, but seriously, I really don't know why you guys bother. Austrian economics is a religion. absolem in particular gave the game away when he said his truth is OBJECTIVE. The implication is clear. He has little self doubt because he believes his system is completely true and adequately fits everything. What can we do, other than communicate how absurd and horrible we think it all is?

It isn't a waste of time. Anyone have a copy of that Ron Paul will kill an infinite number of people banner ad? The first time I saw it I thought it was ridiculous. It's kind of like how a drop of water can break concrete, it just needs to drip into a little crack and slowly widen it.
