0 sats \ 2 replies \ @Louferlou 12 Mar \ on: My questions for libertarians libertarian
I will answer by a question: how do you think that a monopolistic entity can solve any of the problems you mentioned or think about, better than a free market ?
Libertarianism is just about letting people chose who they want to associate with.
Libertarians even welcome communists (which is absolutely not the case the other way around, which say a lot about the morality of each system) as long as they to their shit together. This is the beauty of an anarcap world, you can opt-in and out at will as long as you respect contracts you've willingly signed.
What is very annoying with people disagreeing with libertarian views is their habits of cherry picking problems and yelling "see you can't imagine a way to solve this" while it's precisely because no central authority can find the solution that we have to let the market doing it.
On the other hand they of course have a solution for every problem you bring "just let the State solve it" as if THE STATE was not a bunch of dudes just cut off from market signals, with a monopoly on violence (what could go wrong...)
To conclude, libertarianism is just by far the best system we can imagine, or the least bad if you prefer. It's not the panacea, it does not solve everything, it's just the only reasonable way...
I don't know if a monopolistic entity can. I think for most things it can't. However, even with very small probability that the market cannot adequately solve the most pressing issues, my expected value is better with a minimal government.

You should know though, by reasoning and/or looking at history.
Their is no such a thing that can be solved better by a forced monopolistic entity than by a free market. Their is no good reason to prevent competition in any field unless you fear not offering a good enough product/service.
Or it's a personal/subjective issue that you want to solve by violence, but it's obviously immoral.
Again in a free world, nothing would stop you and your fellow socialists to gather and associate in order to create your own mini state. The only question is: why on earth would you want to force people into your association ? In other words to go one step further in the story, why communists always end building walls to prevent people from leaving their nightmare of a society ?
Cant' you agree to disagree, do your things, and let people chose what they want ?
