Query: doesn't the Libertatis Aequilibritas owe a lot to Ayn Rand and to the significance of the dollar sign within the plot of Atlas Shrugged? If so, shouldn't that be mentioned? --Christofurio 23:14, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Yin and Yang?

[edit]

Why does the "Libertatis Æquilibritas" invoke the Yin / Yang? Yin and yang are not just a balance or equilibrium between forces. Materialistic concerns are entirely yang--exceedingly, quite unbalanced yang. There is no Yin in capitalism (or in communism either). There is no Yin in economics at all. Please properly investigate these philosophies properly before invoking them.--Pariah, like yesterday, sometime.

Ancap has nothing to do with materialism and it is not about economics. It's a philosophical, ethical concept.
??? The key concepts of the movement are personal property rights and free markets--and the symbol is a dollar sign. How is that not about economics? --Pariah 05:17, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yin/Yang revisited

[edit]

The yin refers to the libertarian ideal of private charity and un-coerced compassion in an almost spiritual, or at least moral way.

Well, that's fair. Charity is always good. Money and morality don't have to be mutually exclusive. It's just that before some jerk invented the idea of comparative value of material goods, human beings primarily existed by charity. Morality was a given, and money was not needed. Mutual interdependence. And life was good. There is nothing to steal when no one really owns anything. And there is nothing to lose when people recognize that life is a flowing impermanent thing anyway--our lives are on loan to us from the universe. Nothing to hang on to, no need for property. Now we live in an age where anything can be turned into a commodity, and most wealth is controlled by a few. So, how can we be free when our lives revolve around money?--Pariah 05:44, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why a Separate Page?

[edit]

Is there any real point to having a separate page for such a small article?

I suggest that somebody should merge this article with Anarchist symbolism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.195.135 (talk) 11:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anything worth keeping in this article?

[edit]

Following the merger of the symbolism section to Anarchist symbolism, all that remains here is a section copied from Anarcho-capitalism and a necessarily OR Jargon/neologism section. Is there any reason not to delete and redirect? Skomorokh incite 09:25, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Anarcho-capitalism should be fine. -- Vision Thing -- 12:41, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
