Ok so libertarians and age of consent CP memes are kind of infamous, but is there any truth to this ?
Murray Rothbard had the infamous quote
We all know Vaush's famous argument that he doesn't think there is a logically consistent argument on CP being illegal. The reason I bring this up is because Vaush is (or at least claims to be) a libertarian more accurately a libertarian socialist (that was his twitter bio for the longest time).
Finally to the meat of this post. The argument he was alluding to but didn't make. Was that from an honest libertarian standpoint possessing and watching CP does not technically violate the NAP once it is made (obviously making it would though)
I want to say this right here right now I do not agree with this, I am not a libertarian and reasoning like this is a big reason why. If you are a libertarian how can you defend this ?
But what do you think about the libertarian perspective on children,cp and age of consent ?
Murray Rothbard had the infamous quote
The context to thisThe purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children
Basically Rothbard's whole thing was he wanted to make an ethical system centered purely on property rights. This is a pretty flawed idea for reasoning like this.The parent should not have a legal obligation to feed, clothe, or educate the child, as this would infringe on the parent's rights. However, the parent does not have the right to murder or abuse the child physically. If the parent wishes to sell the rights to the child to someone else who would care for it, the free market should permit it.
