You are suggesting that I should be strung up from a lamppost.
Indeed. Yet, you have fixated on only the part where you have been strung up from a lamppost, without regard to the reasoning behind your punishment.
How is that for advocating use of force against others?
There is a difference between initiatory force and retaliatory force. Since your paper money was being imposed on the workers, I felt they should have a trial and examine whether they would be better off with you strung up from a lamppost.
Retaliatory force and defensive force are legitimate and justified. When you harm others, you can expect them to defend themselves. When they have the opportunity, you can expect them to retaliate.
You were speaking of a hypothetical economy with hypothetical workers. If these were real workers really harmed by your really bad ideas about fiat money, I would expect them to retaliate. I might even cheer them on.
Can you quote me where I have said that paper money should be imposed on people?
Are you saying that paper money shouldn't be imposed on people? This position seems vastly different from your previous position. Glad to see you coming to your senses.
I think advocating the initiation of force, whether it is in the form of taxation or fiat money or debt peonage is a bad thing.
I agree.
I don't think you know what you are talking about, but it doesn't offend me that you agree.
