To take an ideological stance is to not engage with what is happening around you and ignore change. It is living in the realm of the mind. This is quite different than the material realm.
First, this is an unsubstantiated claim, and not an argument. Second, the stance I have taken is the most hard-nosed, realistic stance there is. To say that “a few individuals must be harmed” for the “greater good” is the truly presumptive stance made from a mind disconnected with the perils and opportunities of concrete reality.
It’s not a voluntaryist position by definition! nothing about opinion here—that’s the reality.
It doesn’t acknowledge that reality of the smallest minority, which is the individual.
The “ends justifies the means” pie-in-the-sky collectivist utopianism you have describe is indeed unrealistic. I agree you don’t magically get from A to B , because A is A! ;)
