No, I understand completely. I believe in free markets. You take it to the extreme (no protection from intimidation) and say that it's impossible because naturally some people will take advantage of others and the system will fall apart. However, that's not what I believe. You do yourself a disservice by looking at the extreme and not looking at what I actually believe.

Sorry about the long wait.

I was not sure what exactly your position is, so why would I be writing about your specific position? If you understood what I had written previously, you would understand that my angle was to apply criticism of laissez-faire generally, likely applying to your position. Are you saying that laissez-faire is irrelevant to any other form of capitalism, especially yours?

I'm saying that laissez-faire is not anarchy.

Absolutely, but you see what I am saying?

No, I'm still waiting for you to attack capitalism, which has a law force in order to protect the rights of people.

Why are you guys still discussing this? The topic was about Jon Stewart imitating Glenn Beck's rantings.

Hold on, now. I have to some degree, but I am at bit more curious at the moment how you haven't been more critical of capitalism. Of course, that ultimately depends on your subjective ideological goals. What are your ideological goals and how does capitalism achieve them?

Sorry, it started when I made a correction. As with most things in politics, interdependence has taken over.
