Es votar dar legitimidad a la pretensión coerciva de un gobierno? Supongo que sí... Pero no veo la posibilidad de crear una libre sociedad dentro del territorio de un país mientras afuera de sus fronteras existen otros paises dispuestos a hacer guerras expansivas. Entonces el mínimo, para mi hoy, sería mantener el ejército para poder defenderse de tales fuerzas externas.

Walter Block: Socialism and Fascism: A Political-Economic Spectrum Analysis
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1987277015187088847
Packed with good concepts though I do not necessarily endorse all of them. Voluntary vs. involuntary distinction is the key in my mind to understanding the differences between what's wrong with *coercive* socialism/communism. I don't consider bad in and of themselves ideas like wanting to own your own means of production or sharing profit under some schema other than most-to-most-productive. But the means to reach them is what's terribly wrong in the coercive collectivism (classical socialism, fascism, "conservatism", nationalism, racism, you name it as long as it puts individual and his or hers freedom below the group "freedom", it's all the same to me.)
