Reply #37: Uh...but what protects wealth, even more, is a behemoth

[Cats Against Frist]

of a corrupt government, using the rule of law to enact "trickle down" economic theory -- or, even more blatantly: paying off their cronies, letting CEOs write legislation, starting war for profit -- and building a big fucking army to back up their corpo-facism and authoritarianism.

Yeah, that beats the free market, any day. :eyes:


People say that libertarianism (which is based as much on MINARCHY, as anarchy/anarcho-capitalism) is a pipe dream, but no one ever questions the delusional, fucked up and moon-headed idea that 280 MILLION PEOPLE are going to consent to, steward and monitor a giant "democracy" that is fair, just, egalitarian and free from corruption, and go skipping off into the sunset, licking each others' bodily orifices and wearing pink & purple spin dresses.

You wanna hook up with some cognitive dissonance, get a piece of THAT acid tab.

People think libertarianism sucks because only like three people understand it. Noam Chomsky, and myself, are two of them. ;)

The ONLY thing that makes libertarianism impossible is that a)somebody didn't think of it, before Big Brother/Uncle Sam put on his bubble butt and spare tire and b) there is a good argument that concentration of capital furthers technology -- or is, at least, a motivator that works better than "good wishes" or a hammer and sickle stuck in your ass. To be a libertarian, one must be a Luddite and denounce, as far as I'm concerned, anything outside of one's local sphere. It's hard as fuck. I'm working on it -- but, as you can see, it's not coming along too well.

There is another option though -- parasitic libertarianism -- which can be either right or left-wing, depending on how you think about it, and would involve minarchy and a healthy dose of elitism, which, of course, I have.
