They don’t want to admit it but they are just a few steps away from anarchy.

Soo the, we got problems to big for one person alone to solve. If we let every fucker do whatever he wants we going down fast. We need inteligente population orientated to something good, organizerd trough democracy.

The way Libertarians claim, in the broad sense, they are literally the same as anarchists.

However, most of the time when you get into the details, they just want the government to protect them doing whatever they want and oppress others. They’re literally the same as conservatives.

They say while driving on public roads provided by a government that doesn’t let companies poison the air or install lead pipes for drinking water

Poisoning the air or water is against the non-aggression principle of libertarianism. People who are okay with harming others are not libertarians, they are just LARPing Republicans.

Public roads is a difference of opinion. If there were private toll roads everywhere with a wireless chip for payment (to fund upkeep of the road) I would not be against that. The government has toll roads as well so I had to get the wireless chip anyway in California since I don’t have exact change on me every time I drive on a bridge. If his higher cost of roads went to keeping them in better order and discouraged people from driving, that would be actually a benefit.

Pretty much everyone admits it. Minarchist (pro minimal govt) flag is literally ancap with black changed to blue.

Free Market is essentially a “continuous democratic process”. If what somebody does benefit people, he gets incentivised with profits. If people see no value in what he’s doing – he gets losses. And if in the process of " doing whatever he wants" he does any harm to others ge gets sued.

And all of this happens constantly instead of once in a couple of years, without almost any accountability from those who’re in power as it works in republic.

I disagree that the free market is democratic because hedge funds and the richest people in our society control all of the “votes” in a free market, even after taxes. This can probably be blamed on capitalism, stock markets, and money-driven lobbying.

First of all lobbying and any other intrusion into fair competition is incompatible with free market.

As for the “rich” — without government enforced monopolies, their wealth is a representation of how much value they provide to society. Which roughly translates into their support by society. A bit like representative democracy, but more decentralized.

Exactly it’s not democratic. So what is wrong here would be the way we force our elected leaders to campaign, by having to accept donations you imediatly bring money into the table.

If all candidates had the same air time/publicity and couldn’t do more outside of that budget the gov gave them. I believe it could improve, you could denounced oponets who are moved by money, and wouldn’t be forced to accept non

Some people having exponentially more votes than others is not democratic.
