Ancaps Dont oppose liberal democracy lmao
Freer than democracy? Like what
You can democracy in an anarchist system tho
Like
Anarchism is the removal of unfair hierarchies
You can have demonstrated there
Anarchism isn't simply "anarchy, do what you want"
There are ways to prevent that
Hell, even in "anarchism" the majority has more power of the minority
In the grand scheme of things "shouldn't " means nothing
Better than the alternative
Democracy aint great but its the best we've got
Its the best option
Anarchism still needs democracy
So then how are the big decisions made?
Sadly it doesn't work like that
When you say minarchism you are referring to a night watchman state yes?
In a nigh watchman state, there are still laws yes?
Because there needs to be a general rule of what is right and wrong
Such as : murder bad
Ok
But who decides what is included?
For example
Say i wanna smoke in public
Should that be allowed?
Since
If im in a crowded room, that smoke can harm others
But its my right to smoke isn't it?
I'm interested to hear your opinion
True
Hence why checks and balances exist
It isn't perfect but its the best option
I'm libertarian but at the same time I understand that certain things are not possible in the current world situation so I realize some things will need compromising on
Right libertarian specifically
I had a stint with anarchism
Ye thats the issue for me
It sounds great
And I'd love to see it work
But
I dont see it working, especially in this modern world
Ye that's another issue
Anarchism i cant see working on a large scale, either left or right
Good take
I've dipped into liberalism, conservatism, social democracy
They all have pros and cons but there's no one perfect way
You need to pick and choose what works from each
Damn, am i a centrist ๐
I just don't want to risk it
If it wont work in theory, its hard to see things working in practice
Hence why I don't support anarchism
Well of course
Everyone has commonality with other ideologies
And thats where compromise comes in
I also really hate the political compass
Idk if anyone else feels the same
It simplifies things too much
9vals is way better and even then it isn't great
Stand by anyone who supports whatever it is you're pushing for at the time
The compass imo has simplified politics to the point where people don't understand what ideologies are really about
This
I understand bernie supporters and i feel many have good intentions at heart, I just dont agree with their policies
Same with bernie
He seems a swell guy with a good heart but I disagree with most of his policies
Ye this
Capitalism isn't perfect but it works
Some elements need fixing but the core is good
