I rent and drive an old work van. It isn't a privacy concern. Just relevance.
Just a couple things in response.
1) Proudhoun, who you quote without I suspect ever having read him, also said property was liberty. His ideas are rich and complex.
2) Orwell was a socialist and would be unlikely to be a fan of what you are knitting with his yarn.
3) You can claim that your video is accurate all you like. It simply isn't. Having many deep criticisms of movements like Occupy and the types of protests she is panning from close personal involvement I can say for certain she is missing the main thrust and cohesion of the people who are drawn to these attempts to articulate their dissent.
Neither would Huxley support the idea that healthcare and a living wage are a crazy utopia only possible through social engineering. The idea that either 1984 or Brave New World has such humane considerations as their target is nonsense. Really. Read his entire speech at Berkeley, Ultimate Revolution I think its called. The critique is way more fitting of prozac capitalism than any post-Marxist socialism. An Orwell of course fought with the POUM and sympathized with the anarchists in Spain. You can pretend these voices are saying what you wish. But they simply aren't with you here. It is rude to press them into a service they would obviously disdain.
Natural is a weasel word here. We are talking about choices from among a fairly narrow selection of cultural constructs made for reasons often the opposite of the reasons used to advertise them. In nature symbiosis is often as strong a factor as competition but regardless of that why cherry pick this embrace of nature only to defend wage slavery? Strange position.
You are deeply invested in the bogey of college campus Left fascism . I will leave you to it after a few remarks. It seems to give you some comfort. It doesn't interest me very much at all. It is a fairly minor nuisance in comparison to what unfolds. Is hate speech the necessary bedfellow of free speech? I doubt it. Nazi chatter is illegal in Germany. I wonder if maybe they have a sense of why that might be a good idea. Is Spencer's garbled white supremacy an idea that one can reason with or is it already a violence that can only be repelled where ever it raises its head?
