    Had me up until the stateless society part.

      I don’t think they’re advocating a stateless society, per se, just presenting it in the context of people who would argue that you need government and force to keep society in order.  The other three things in the list were the Non Agression Principle, Voluntaryism, and Libertarianism, which aren’t wild crazy ideas either.

      And frankly, I agree with the video wholeheartedly in two respects:

      1.  People do get squeamish when they themselves have to ask for the handout instead of doing it through the state…

      2.  By accepting the concept that the state should be allowed to threaten force to re-distribute wealth, you are pretty much using that force yourself.
