I was always taught to value teamwork. To trust in the team and that we can help each other. However, if we look through history that mind set without thinking outside the team mind set can be very dangerous. So, it can be valuable in time of need to get things done, but we do need independent thinkers to correct for errors we make as nothing can be perfect. It really depends on the situation. Both very necessary, but both clash when things need to be sorted in 4T's. Sometimes it is wiser to band with a million to fix issues BUT we need to do our own research to be sure it is the right thing to do. To have an educated opinion and a wise path to a solution for that million to sort out together.
Working as a team is not excluded by the economics of Mises or Rothbard. Rather the members of the team choose their teammates rather than have them chosen for them.
Employers typically choose teammates for their employees.
I don't have to work for any particular employer. As usual you miss the point.

Maybe he would never admit that -- because he would never do any killing, including murder by proxy!
Yes he would because, like you, he refuses to accept the fundamental reality of the state and this is the use of force to take what it wants. Resist hard enough and you end up dead.
