That makes no sense. Particularly as we all own property! We own ourselves - innate property!

No. We should pursue liberty (the absence of coercion), peace, prosperity and happiness. We should defend self-ownership/private property.
A corporation is a beast of the state. A corporation gets special gov privileges like limited liability and uses regulatory capture to lock out newer incumbents competing against it. There are no corporations in a free society - only business who have to fairly compete! Please also note the law preceded government. Government coopted it! This is true of common law and maritine law. Cut the conflation in your mind. Even today more disputes are handled privately out of courts. Ebay, the world biggest merchant has in-house arbitration. You do not need an institution to monopolise decision making, arbitration, and justice. Justice should be about restitution to the victim. Currently it is about fining the victim or putting them in a cage rather than compensation and restitution. Did you know Pananarchist Ireland for 200 years had many arbitration services called tuaths. There was no government - only various tuaths that would represent you. You could join or change tuath as you pleased. For the most likely solution: https://youtu.be/fZ0Qkhnt6bQ?si=cjPT5E03eHAkiJwL
“The scale and proportions of this are all fucked, the rich take substantially more from the state than the non-rich.” - Yes, absolutely! The parasitical rich benefit most of all! All the more reason to abolish the host - abolish the state! When the poor have more opportunity to enter the market, due to the abolishion of the state and it crony class, then the free market can raise the tide for all leaving the need for charity far less. There will be no constructed dependent class. There will be a rising again of mutual societies, unities etc that benefited the poor before gov coopted those services.
NAP, aka respect for private property rights. If a society does not respect the NAP then it is a society based foremost on the threat of violence. What is government - the threat of violence - the threat of force. So, if a society allowed private militia to kill competitors you would end up with a gang ruling over others - you know - like government. So, yes you need a society with respect for private property rights/NAP. Would all people be peaceful? Heck no! Does this mean there will also not be private institutions that uphold the law - uphold respect for private property rights? Of course! People will still need security, decision making and justice! A peaceful society with respect for the NAP would NOT allow a private militia to violate others rights! Business (in the absence of government favouritism) survives on good products, services and reputation. Sending a militia against you opponents does not do well for your reputation! So ultimately you have a choice - government, which is an involuntary institution with a monopoly on force and rule making that serves the elite to the detriment of others OR A free society with respect for private property rights that is more decentralised and snuffs out any trouble makers.
I do not think you understand fairness or value. Life is not fair. You cannot expect it to be. To try to make it fair requires the initiation of force against another. The happenstance of an unfair life is different to the deliberate application of force to create what one thinks should be fair. Precise value??? All value is subjective! Setbacks? Every exchange that occurs happens due to the exchange making both parties life better - otherwise the exchange would not occur. You are viewing the world as a glass half empty rather than half full! Wage-slavery? There is not such thing! You own property - always! You own your body! Other peoples ability to generate wealth is something you have no right to interfere with just as much as they have no right to interfere with your body. You may not like the terms of contract but that is simply because you have no better option and you need to upskill. Innovate? If you are working you are gaining skills. Are you showing your worth or just doing the acceptable minimum to justify your employment? If the game is unfair - it is because the system (govenment) applies the law unfairly - not because others create value.
The question should be who will enable their cartel without the state law enforcing it? What is to stop them get a large share of the market - cartel status? Well, their competition providing better goods and services!
How many victim points did you earn through your envious display of keyboard warriorism?
If you ask me there is no utopia - but there is the attempt to minimize away coercion & manipulation. It is completely Utopian to think you can create an all powerful political class and not expect exploitation by psychopaths and sociopaths.
ALL rich people? That would be quite the assumption! Many rich are parasites that use regulatory capture, artificial cartels, lobbying, bribery, threats etc because the state exists. Other rich have attained great value by giving the world much value. Don’t let envy eat you away!
Greed, wanting stuff, precipitates giving value in return for value. Regardless of motives everybody benefits. This is a free market.
Throw in an institution that can manipulate & distort free market forces - government - then you get parasites that use the violence of that institution for non reciprocated greed. This creates distortions in wealth and power in favour of the scrupulous.
Collectivism
Yeah, it seems like such an unnecessary layer! Why login to your desktop, phone etc then have to login to a server also? I prefer to just open an application that has the feeds direct from source!
No. Milei calls himself a libertarian and Anarchocapitalist. He is NOT right wing! All your Wikipedia link does is show other people are also mistaken.
I read up to ‘far right’. If that is how you classify Milei then who knows what you classify ‘Nazi’ as! Next.
That is the slogan contracted for brevity. The context is, if you do not know, and none of us do as their is NO detail, then do not give the government a blank cheque. People are rightfully cautious about government and possibly giving it more power.
Ok, what a few crazy days exploring options!
Keeweb deb would not install. The appimage did! Keeweb Nextcloud installed.
Keeweb desktop could import my csv export (but displayed it incorrectly) The app would not connect to Nextcloud. It turns out the project has been unmaintained for over 2 years.
I could export a backup from keeweb desktop a kdbd file for the keepass profile though. I opened the desktop backup in Keeweb Nextcloud. Both desktop app and browser look great - but do not communicate.
I then uploaded the kdbx file to Nextcloud files.
Exploring other apps I found Authpass desktop and Android app to be the best. There is no automatic sync however. This has to be triggered manually from whatever app you are on.
After trying to activate the Nextcloud file kdbx for Nextcloud Keeweb I eventually managed to click in the right place. So now I had the desktop, cloud and phone working together, well, when manually triggered that is!
Now to sort out the wrong formatting! After installing many app and messing about with python scripts I could not get the data fields right. Keepass2 app suppose to have an import function. It was greyed out. I uninstalled it, but later came back when I learnt that you needed to create a database first before importing onto it! I chose a Bitwarden json - and it worked!
Ok, going well! Now I just need a browser extension! Fail! None could grep the kdbx file from Authpass or Nextcloud! At least none that could create passwords! This is actually my main point of interaction with passwords. An essential component.
So, I have actually ended backup where I started - using Nextcloud Passwords! I cleared up one annoyance sort of. That was, that every time I used biomemetrics to open the Android app it then also asked me TWICE to enter my password! I switched to pin and I only have to enter it once.
The Nextcloud desktop app, which is actually still a work in progress, is the only sore point. It opens tiny and the geometry cannot be set as it does not use the KDE window rules. The UI is awful and I need to go to settings - themes to change the theme in order to see the text. There is no search or export/backup. It is near useless at this point. Hopefully it will develop!
If only they would fork Keeweb desktop! It is full featured and beautiful! More beautiful than all the other Keepass apps and better looking that Bitwarden also.
nb.I never got to test out Passman.
Abolish patents! Free the market!
