Ok...tell me how a 'society' that is not based on control would work.
Has there ever been one?
What are the limitations?

A society not based on control and force would be based on voluntary association and voluntary action. Most things you do on a day to day basis are structured like this as we speak. Unfortunately there are still (and growing) parts in our lives in which control (through force and the threat thereof) is exercised by those who do not believe in the Non-Aggression-Principle. In the Spanish civil war millions of people lived completely self-organized and made it work very well. Then, of course, the fascists under Franco and the communists handled by the Soviet Union crushed this effectively together. Limitations? No limitations for freedom as far as I can see!

why was it called a civil war?
please give me some examples of which you speak.
Watch this,
Or read George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia.
No.
I want YOU to explain TO ME what you are talking about.
IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
If you cannot explain something then you do not understand it.
Define your terms then: discrimination:
"discrimination between right and wrong"
ok...I'll accept those definitions
So which one are you talking about?
isn't voluntary association the same as discrimination?
If not then how is it different?
That depends on what you mean by discrimination. Is it discrimination when you choose who you actually spend your time with?
yup..certainly is.
I choose to discriminate.
Is that OK?
what are the limits of the OK ed ness?
why should there BE any limits?
You mean when you should be forced to spend time with people against your will? Never. No limits.
well I agree.
no limits..
"no dogs, irish, or indians allowed" used to be a very common sign on certain establishments.
what do you think about that?
I think it's a bad business model. Nothing else. Someone wants to exclude people from his property? Right. Who am I to force them? I may choose to not conduct business with that person, though.
