A-fucking-men! If you spend your time attacking voluntaryists then you’re doing the statists’ work for them.
Troll the statists.

Not if by attacking you mean criticizing errors, flaws or misconceptions, which oddly you can only do if you are also doing something beneficial, but that couldn't be beneficial in it of itself. Most anarchists regurgitate memes like Taxes are Robbery and pay taxes because they won't listen to anything that says taxes are voluntary or you elect to pay them, they are the ones that actually are supporting the state, the statist themselves.
Having a different opinion is great, but constantly tearing down people who are theoretically on your side is another. Personally, I think what Rand Paul and others in the GOP are doing to push libertarian ideas is a losing strategy, but I will not tear them down or troll their pages. When they do good, I will praise them, when they make mistakes, I will point them out, but they are trying to work for freedom. My time is better spent actively working to make a stateless society a reality, rather than telling others they are doing it wrong. The Voluntary God, has not visited me and proclaimed me always right, I will take any criticism that makes my arguement stronger. Divide and Conquer is the States favorite tactic and it gives me pause when a loud mouthed Anarchist throws shit and does not give any solutions. Maybe his agenda is not what he or she claims it is.
Critique is quite often the solution in it of itself, the fact that I have to spoon feed people who'd rather accuse than question and dismiss when confronted doesn't mean I will.
I don't think you read my comment and you want to respond to me and what I had to say by calling critiques as troll if they don't come hand in hand with "solutions", it's the same rhetoric of "don't say nothing if you have nothing nice to say", well tough tittes, you can call it trolling, you can dismiss it as "negative" or whatever bullshit "tearing people down" you want to call it but it won't make the critique any less valid or stop it from coming up, again and again. To say that critique is "divide and conquer", like you want to say what I said is opinion or that I bought up value judgments like the post has and nonsense. Why should I even explain anything to you when you've done nothing to address anything I said and tried actually to dismiss what I said as some opinion? I could "tear apart" your whole argument and expose all the nonsense but why waste my time when you've no intention of having a discussion but only interested in telling me what you think about people and what people's agenda might be.
REGARDLESS of agenda, if you use the argument that Taxation is Theft and you keep paying taxes, you are a statis by deed, regardless of your words, pretty simple no, and you'd call it tearing it down to point out hypocrisy because with your mouth you can say one thing and with your hand do otherwise.
