Under capitalism, the initiation of physical force is barred from - TopicsExpress

Under capitalism, the initiation of physical force is barred from human relationships; citizens delegate the use of retaliatory force to the government, which may use force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use; and those who initiate force against others are met with force by the law. This arrangement leaves everyone free to act on his own judgment for his own sake as a matter of principle. This is what makes capitalism the system of selfishness—and this is what distinguishes capitalism from all other social systems. Consider the alternative systems in this regard. Under communism, the government forces individuals and businesses to act against their judgment for the sake of the “workers” or the community; hence the term communism (e.g., the USSR). Under socialism, the government forces individuals and businesses to act against their judgment for the sake of the collective or society; hence the term socialism (e.g., present-day Sweden). Under theocracy, the government forces individuals and businesses to act against their judgment in obedience to God’s will—or whatever His earthly representatives deem His will to be; hence the term theocracy, which means literally rule by God (e.g., present-day Iran). Under fascism, the government forces individuals and businesses to act against their judgment for the sake of the nation, the race, the people, the elderly, the poor, or some other group; hence the term fascism, which means literally group-ism (e.g., Mussolini’s Italy). Under capitalism (which has yet to exist), the government is forbidden from forcing individuals or businesses to act against their judgment. In a capitalist society, everyone is legally free to act on his own judgment for his own sake. The government serves only to protect individuals and businesses from physical force by banning it from social relationships and by using retaliatory force as necessary against those who initiate its use. —Craig Biddle
