I'd argue it should be the default position.
Why should I respect this elaborate system of property rights that was largely built by and for terrible human beings who actively sought to tyrannize others for their own gain?
How much of the wealth held today can be traced back to morally illegitimate if not outright criminal beginnings?
To be fair that's kind of what has happened with communism in the past too.
I don't think the problem is any system it's the human nature that causes us to make those systems in the first place. The ideal system is anarchy and everyone just agrees to get along and share but that's unfortunately impossible
Cool story. I don't respect the property claims of those authoritarian regimes, either.
In what way is anarchism an authoritarian regime
