In very few states, all write-ins are counted. Go ahead. Vermin Supreme is on the ballot in Delaware. Go ahead. Otherwise, send a message that has to be read and tallied, rather than completely wasting everyone's time. When Vermin says "totally thrown away", he's telling the truth.

In most states, writing in Vermin Supreme or almost anyone else sends no message to anyone at all, save the already overtaxed poll-worker, who is, in most cases, required to discard your vote without recording or comment. It's exactly an undervote, perhaps a spoiled ballot.

If Libertarians ever take back their brand from MAGA, libertarians should take take back their brand from Libertarians.

Have you run across any of those apologists who make the requisite reference to capital in their definition of capitalism? Hard to find. Ask for it, and they malfunction.

Who will judge? More colloquially, "sez who?"

Fair enough, if it's done both ways. Challenge the idea of property the same way. Well, not exactly fair. It's setting up an idea, property, as against not setting up an idea.

Is "No one legitimately contests what another holds and uses" any better? Probably not, but it's what I should have said. All the same, an idea of property as such isn't required. I'm not substituting that phrase for "property". I'm falling short in not having it look that way, which it still does.

That's the crux, all right. How? I'm talking about removing the idea of property altogether, without replacing it with anything. Trying to get across the idea of nothing where people think something is, is more than a challenge. Hard for me, by myself. I'm conditioned otherwise no less than anyone

The offered qualifiers demonstrate this.

It's the meaning, the concept, that's the problem, no matter what word that meaning is hung on. Shared respect is natural, though obviously not universal. Using the concept of property is making it harder not just to communicate what's wanted, but also even to contemplate it oneself.
