Three moves. Order matters

How I dismantled Adam yesterday without losing the room

·3 min read

Yesterday you watched me do a thing on the page.

A commenter named Adam came at me with a standard leftist move: wage labor is just like taxation, both involve force, therefore both are theft, therefore capitalism is theft. Clean argument. Popular one on the left. You've seen it before, probably more than once.

I didn't insult him. I didn't dodge. I engaged him sincerely.
