While the content of this section is correct, its not a neutral selection, as it over emphasizes topics seen (by non anarcho-capitalists) as negative, while only the description of the state is a positive pov. There should be more positive positions.
The section/topic choices are biased and do not portrait a neutral picture. On the contrary they follow the general trend on Wikipedia to deviate more and more from it Wikipedias libertarian roots and picture topics that do contrast collectivists/socialist povs as negative.
It would be possible to choose completely different topics to picture him in any other light and since there is no objective measure to choose one view over any other, the only npov choice would be to include them all 2A01:598:D008:14CE:6ABC:7C1E:56F8:E7D1 (talk) 12:09, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The title violates NPOV, it's an improper distortion of Hoppe's broader concept of the right to discriminate in covenant communities
Unsourced claims of promoting racial discrimination
Unsourced claims that Hoppe's arguments "have proven particularly divisive" and "provoked controversy"
Distorts and places undue weight on Walter Block's argument
This is particularly egregious given one of the cited sources[1] itself emphasizes the context of Hoppe's statements ("under clearly stated circumstances"), and notes Hoppe's frustration with how his statements have been taken out of context in just this way in order to smear him. Wikipedia should be better than that.
As a reminder, WP:BLPSTYLE says: "BLPs should be written responsibly, cautiously, and in a dispassionate tone....Care must be taken with article structure to ensure the overall presentation and section headings are broadly neutral. Beware of claims that rely on guilt by association, and biased, malicious or overly promotional content."
As such, I've renamed the section to the more neutral "Covenant communities and discrimination", removed the unsourced claims, and reworded Block's comments to better capture the context.
