Property is the fruit of my labour?

Strange.   Here I was thinking that the fruit of my labour was security, accomplishment, and a sense of meaning in addition to the less significant value of material goods.

This is a very simplistic movie that ignores the fact that mutual exchanges of property can sometimes be made under threat or coercian, where the other party is, say, extorting.

This also ignores the argument that taxes (which is obviously "theft" according to this video) are a necessary evil to assure that there is a system which prevents others from taking life, liberty, and property.

The video was overly long and seemed like browbeating.  Oh, and the music was annoying.

Basically the standard, flawed, anarcholibertarian mantra with annoyingly tedious visuals, although it's not poorly made.

I wasn't really able to watch the movie itself because I was too busy laughing at the completely inappropriate use of clip art, such as the massive disembodied hands and the guy in a pimp suit supposed to represent "action".  That was a very unintentionally hilarious movie.

What I learned from this film:

Life is a bunch of pointy arrows pointing at a dot.
Do not place your hands on different colored people.

Then I got bored and confused.
