When talking with people I have noticed that many of the disagreements or misunderstandings emerge due to different definitions of words. Now this is quite an important thing, because if two people have opposing understandings of the meaning of a word then how can they communicate? So, below is a short list of a few words and how I interpret their meaning, but you may disagree. The words are examples of the stumbling blocks that will definitely trip you up if you ever want to persuade someone to the principles of freedom and liberty.
government = force
Anti-government = pro freedom
anarchy = voluntarism
taxation, welfare, benefits = stealing / slavery
democracy = mob rule
citizen / social contract = B.S
public services / nationalisation = protectionism / monopolisation
