Capitalism is highly dependent upon the state. This is easily demonstrated by the fact that without the state and the rule of law it enables property ownership, contracts and security of people and territory which underpin capitalism are not possible.
To translate that buzzword salad: "Pay me for pointing a gun at you, and in return I'll 'protect' the property I'm now leeching off."
State-sanctioned theft is an attack on rule of law as dictated by man's conscience. The professional agitator who raises the sales tax on gasoline nationwide is a billion times more destructive than the guy who loots only one gas station.
How about all the extortionists of the world just fuck off, and if someone earns money they can keep it?
I don't get it. I give someone $100, they give me 0.001 BTC, and then someone like you comes along demanding $20 for the Somali children because "society." Why?? Enough of the taxation bullshit. I don't care if it's been going on for thousands of years. Enough is enough.
People want to have government- it provides the rule of law and certainty that capital wants.
Remove government and the people clamour to replace it because they understand the nature of life without it is fucking chaos and law of the jungle.
Go live somewhere there is no government and report back
- oh but you will not ever do that because you are a blatant hypocrit and are not insane &/or suicidal enough to actually go live by the Libertarian bullshit you preach.
Go live somewhere there is no government and report back
You act like it's my fault. The gangs follow me. You don't let me leave.
I separated my money from the state, at least. And my wealth is infinitely safer as a result.
Capitalism is highly dependent upon the state.
This is easily demonstrated by the fact that without the state and the rule of law it enables property ownership, contracts and security of people and territory which underpin capitalism are not possible.
It never ceases to amaze me how Libertarians can ignore this fundamental reality and somehow imagine that capitalism could exist, let alone thrive without the state creating and enforcing the property rights and security.
