About me
Hello everyone, I'm Piano-player25 ! I'm a French 17 years-old asexual, you can call me Piano25 or... whatever is a better abbreviation I guess ? (but don't ever dare call me PP25). I have no idea what my gender is, so please use they/them pronouns until I figure that out.

I must say, I really love this wiki, and I wish I can make it better. I can be pretty organized when I want, so I'll try to contribute for now as long as I have free time. I'll go to university next year though, so maybe I'll be less active then, but until then I'll do my best. :)

Random info, but please use the metric system when talking about heights, weights, or whatever with me. It's used by 95% of the global population (and yes this is a precise calculation, not a random number I'm throwing), and I refuse to learn the imperial system that literally 3 countries (over 197) use lol.

Government
I like to call myself a philosophical anarchist. I believe that human rights are inalienable and do not come from governments, and as such the State does not have any more rights than any other group of individuals. In theory, I wouldn't oppose a minarchist State (whose only role is to protect its citizens), because I believe in the NAP (and anyone is justified in defending someone else's NAP, think disabled people for example can't do it themselves), but I am against all other forms of involuntary governance. I believe that voluntary governance is acceptable, as long as there is clear, written consent from the governed, and that they have the right to renounce to the contract at any time.

Economy & Property
I am usually in a weird position in economic issues. I think that private property is perfectly acceptable, as to me it is difficult to establish a clear, objective boundary between personal property and private property. Even though I oppose wage labour, I think it is still acceptable as well, as long as it is based on voluntary contract. I believe that a completely unregulated market in which the means of production belong to the workers who use them (like in worker co-ops, instead of traditional businesses) is the best type of economy, both in efficiency and in morality. I am strictly opposed to tax-funded, mandatory social welfare programs, as I think unvoluntary taxation is theft, but I also believe that charities based on voluntary contracts would be a vital part of an ideal society.

Although I said that I defend private property, there are two exceptions to this, the first being intellectual property. "Stealing" an idea does not deprive its owner from using it, and as such it cannot be considered as theft. If intellectual property laws should exist at all, they should be heavily relaxed (same effect as a CC licence, and ending at the creator's death instead of 80 years after). The second exception is unoccupied natural land that is not looked after by anyone (such as forests and lakes, but not houses and gardens). I don't believe that you can be the rightful owner of something that you did not create, pay for, or changed in any way, and so such land should be publically owned by everyone. I also want to say that to me, State ownership is very different from public ownership, since the State is not the legitimate representative of its people (no one can claim to "represent" someone else, and that does not exclude the government).
