ELSEWHERE . . . COMMENTER: Thick / Humanitarianism points out that there are forms of coercion outside of the state No, not really -- although this point seems poorly understood by many on both sides. More accurately, Thicks/Humanitarians point out there are objectionable/oppressive aspects of society outside of direct state coercion. Recognition of this need not undermine the philosophically strict/precise understanding of coercion Thins/Brutalists IMAGINE themselves to be defending -- largely because they lack the ideological depth to explain these social issues as secondary/tertiary fallout from state coercion or, where there is a truly independent social pathology, to explain how it could be addressed in a manner consistent with libertarian law.
