R2: Whew, I'm not quite sure where to start. We'll start with the more light, debatable arguments made in this comment.
There is not a single serious philosopher that advocates altruism. Christianity doesn't even advocate altruism
That's not completely true. August Comte argued for complete altruism. Although, I will concede that the vast majority of philosophers have agreed that full altruism is unreasonable. Still, there are things like effective altruism advocated for by Peter Singer and Toby Ord.
there is no collectivist political theory thats [sic] taken seriously in America
This is just false. There are most definitely communists, socialists, and other far leftists in America. If you mean they aren't taken seriously on a national scale, then sure, that's correct. But it's silly to act like anti-capitalists don't exist in America.
Warning: now we're getting to the bad ones.
anarchists are the only people who arent [sic] socialists
What? Okay... let's hear the justification for this claim.
Once you give the state a monopoly on the use of force youve [sic] socialized an individual need.
Ah, the old "socialism is when the government does stuff" argument. This is a variation I've never seen before. Furthermore, is this person's definition of "socializing a need" restricted to allowing the state to take care of the need? If the state doesn't take care of it, and a business doesn't take care of it... what is it? Not socialized, apparently, since anarchists aren't socialists! /s
[Ayn] Rand is a socialist because shes [sic] not an anarchist
UGH. No she isn't! She's one of the most pro-capitalist figures I can think of! That's not how socialism works.
And thats [sic] good because anarchists are the dumbest of all people
Why? I don't understand...
They fail to recognize that occupation is not ownership and that Michael Vick and Connor McGregor would come kill you and rape your wife in an anarchist system
Okay, that's enough. Good job demonstrating a complete lack of understanding of what anarchism and socialism are.
