seretogis seems to have a lot of faith in the general populace... as a libertarian I guess this is to be expected. I wouldn't say that he is fascist in the slightest for that would be government interference at the greatest level.
Question:
I have a private organization that believes in murder. Every month my group gets together to murder someone. Now we don't just murder anyone. In order to join this private organization you must submit your name to a lottery and allow for the possibility that you will be one of the murdered. We don't kill outsiders. You must sign a document upon joining giving permission to the club to murder you.
This is a private organization. It accepts no state funding. Pays its taxes regularly.
Should it be left to do as it wishes despite the fact that murder is illegal?
I would argue that the answer is no. Murder is against our laws and as such this group should not be allowed to perform its activities.
The problem with seretogis's argument against the state dictating what private organizations can do (for me) is... where to draw the line?
