The weirdest disconnect is that the founder of Austrian Economics Frederik Hayek also advocated a Basic Guaranteed Income which, if I understand, is even more radically inclusive than minimum wage in that you don't even have to have a job. Sources here and here
edit: spelling
That is rather inconsequential or a trivial point you have raised. There is no requirement or need to be a libertarian or an ancap to be a proponent of Austrian Economics.
It's like saying all sociologists must have liberal views.

HURR DURR LEFTIST CIRCLE JERK TIME. MINIMUM WAGE IS GOOD BECUZ MEXICANS STEALIN OUR JERBS.
As far as arguments for anarcho-capitalism go this is probably the most persuasive one I've heard yet.
Considering that an-capism is basically the philosophical equivalent of shitting directly into your own mouth, this doesn't surprise me.
That's a pretty accurate analogy.
You needed an argument for not pointing guns at people who have done nothing to you?
I think we've found the problem.
Oh boy. I guess I'll help start the popcorn popping.
Do you think taxation is literally theft? Why don't people start their own businesses in this situation? How do you feel about the accusation of philosophically shitting directly into your own mouth? Why don't dramanauts just start their own businesses in this situation? How do you feel about immigrants? Why aren't people starting businesses?
> Do you think taxation is literally theft?
How do you define "theft" in a way that is both objective and not circular?
You might also want to learn how to copy and paste, because the rest of your post is just nonsense.
You should try listening to someone who isn't Stefan Molyneux or from the Mises Institute.
I don't listen to Molyneux, but you completely evaded my point.
Your point is idiotic. Most five year olds have a better, more complex understanding of how government and society works than AnCaps do.
If I hire a migrant worker for less than what the government says the minimum wage should be, and that worker accepts my offer, what will the government do about that?
They will (rightfully) stop you from taking advantage of someone in poverty.
Stop me how?
And what makes it right? The migrant worker agreed to the job. How are they going to tell him what is good for him better than he himself is?
Ya I'm not having this debate with you. You AnCaps are worse than just about any religious zealot when it comes to how fundamentalist you are with your beliefs.
Giving someone employment is not "taking advantage of them.
Employment is a voluntary trade of skills, time, and labor for currency. It's mutually beneficial. If I hire someone to repair my broken fridge, I am not taking advantage of them at all.
Your understanding of basic economics and reality is lacking.
You should look in the mirror.
Your points are idiotic as you clearly have a poor understanding of voluntaryism/ancaps .
I've read plenty of AnCap literature (The Ethics of Liberty, Man Economy and the State, you name it), I just understand it to be full of shit.
