1.  Even if a person is careless with their keys or whatever, it doesn't magically make theft no longer theft.
2.  So by his logic, men are animals who can't control themselves and who upon seeing a body will leap at it and rape the crap out of it.
3.  How then, does he account for most rapes (around 75% last I checked) occurring between people who know each other?
4.  Finally, by focusing on the victim he completely lets the dickheads initiating force on BOTH counts of theft and rape completely off the hook.  Really, it reminds me of Alex Jones and his merry band of conspiracy nutters who bitch and moan about the evil "private" bankers, while completely letting the government crooks who established that system to begin with completely off the hook.  Complete fucking tool.
5.  You know, for someone into Ayn Rand and probably others as well, he sure lacks an understanding of natural rights and natural law theory.  His butchering of it near the end is pretty hard to listen to.  Really, his conflation of a defense of property rights (against theft and against rape) and comparing it to "cultural Marxism" (however the fuck this douche bag defines that) is rather pathetic.

Kinda explains why so many state apologists try to use Ayn Rand as an instant win phrase.

Don't say that as if the two are somehow mutually exclusive--or any great surprise.

True.  Granted, I've never actually read Rand, nor am I going to.

I'm going to regularly post that in the comments of that video to make sure that anyone who comes across it can easily check where his arguments have been addressed before.

From the same person who us that video about communism:  [yt]VKnMly11X5Y[/yt]
Note how every single thing he lists is caused or made worse by government...
Our state has been crushing capitalism over the years and...wait a minute...there's a bigger wealth gap?  How could this have happened?

Isn't that the equivalent of an Illuminati-esque conspiracy theory?

I thought it was too.

"Feudalism was based entirely on private property and contracts, just like the Libertarians want in their society [Ergo, libertarians are feudalists]"
- Rundstedt1, Guncriminal's Moron Hall of Fame
I recall kDest trying to argue something like that too, only with him it was a warlord fetish.
