Gee, really interesting how libertarian reforms are extremely unpopular and can only be maintained by brutal state violence. Luckily they’re a democracy and not authoritarian communists where the people have no say!

Libertarian reforms are supposed to be unpopular among people who lose from them, which would be everyone getting more than giving from taxation.

Libertarianism is about individual independence.

I just have doubts over how any libertarian would explain these events in particular, so going to search for some amusement in the few ancap TG channels I remember.

That was in a comment comparing Japan to Turkey, so either you really failed to read anything else or you are expecting others to just believe you. In any case you are a clown.

Well, politics are like this. “Stability and anti-fascism” in Russia, “democratic” North Korea, and now a “libertarian” police state in Argentina. Names matter very little.

Can’t avoid touching on the subject of this instance:

USSR was also:

“socialist” (with only state-controlled unions and job appointment for 5 years by distribution you couldn’t refuse after university),

“Soviet” (with Soviets controlling maybe some local funds and a bit of logistics at best)

and a “union of republics” (which broke apart the moment its central government allowed some autonomy to those),

and half those “republics” are still governed by the same people\families\clans 30 years after.

All taxes ultimate came from the working class who is the one that produce everything. The rich people getting a bigger tax break,on the rare cases this happens, is just a small correction from all the surplus value they capture.

Individual independence is a nonsensical concept in this context because humans are not independent from one another.

Private property as a concept is incompatible with individual independence, because its existence is itself dependent on some form of collective agreement. “Ownership” only exists when a group of people agrees that it does and sees a need to enforce it.

Libertarianism, in practice, is entirely aware of the dependencies between individuals, and what it really is about is tipping the scales in favor of property owners, maximizing the power of the strong over the weak by removing the state’s role as an equalizer and instead turning it into a sole enforcer of private property, at which point it is functionally indistinguishable from fascism.

I get a feeling that person doesn’t know the distinction between personal property and private property.

lmao so basically admitting your ideology is predicated on tyranny and the dispossession of individuals for the benefit of a powerful few

I just have doubts over how any libertarian would explain these events in particular

Translation: You don’t know how to flower up your disgusting anti-individual rhetoric without rightly coming across as a hypocrite and sociopath lmao

Yes, if you ask a libertarian what they think about unions and they say “that’s fine, everybody can choose to associate and bargain within a free market” you might have found a real libertarian! Wow! You will almost never hear that though because they are all fascists

This contradicts every time I meet a person who calls themselves a libertarian and knows at least something about that to pass through my initial filters (those who don’t apparently think that libertarianism is about capitalism, free love and marijuana).

More than that, one of the most popular branches of ancap is panarchism, which is an idea of a society embedding all kinds of non-territorial voluntary associations, including communist ones.

It might be that you’re just talking outta your ass.

Nah, libertarianism and “anarcho”-capitalism are just both joke ideologies that nobody will take seriously for a reason.

Not a surprising turn of events. He just halved everyone’s savings and on top of that drastically increased the cost of living for everyone as companies increase prices due to the currency devaluation.

The result of that being massive strike and protest action is entirely unsurprising… As is a crackdown on it.

This will escalate much further very quickly.

I know you’re banned and probably won’t read this but my grandfather literally joined the communists when he was a teenager because pre-revolutionary China was so bad and inequality was so rife, his father died from a completely curable disease and had a cousin starve to death.

He’s 97 years old now and his biggest regret is he didn’t join convince more people to join the PLA sooner.

I have no idea. Depends how hard he cracks down? Round up the left and throw them in prison pinochet style, even kill a bunch of the top organisers? Could do some real damage to anyone that would oppose him properly if he has any competent advice.
