Let's be honest. Practical Libertarianism would descend into a monarchy

2019-05-09 15:07:59 UTC  

There has never been a country with a large population that has ever functioned under a hard government

2019-05-09 15:08:41 UTC  

Libertarianism operates under the premise that citizen lives are affected much less than other forms of government.

2019-05-09 15:08:50 UTC  

Except how do you force that?

2019-05-09 15:09:10 UTC  

But who said they were forcing it?

2019-05-09 15:09:16 UTC  

Oh you're not forcing it?

2019-05-09 15:09:27 UTC  

What happens when someone doesn't want to practice libertarianism?

2019-05-09 15:09:27 UTC  

The IDEA is less government control

2019-05-09 15:09:34 UTC  

That's exactly the problem

2019-05-09 15:09:40 UTC  

Asking for lesser government control without forcing it

2019-05-09 15:09:41 UTC  

then they suck it up

2019-05-09 15:09:44 UTC  

or leave

2019-05-09 15:09:48 UTC  

or

2019-05-09 15:09:50 UTC  

they take over the government

2019-05-09 15:09:52 UTC  

and enact more control

2019-05-09 15:10:08 UTC  

which is why libertarianism descends into a monarchy

2019-05-09 15:10:38 UTC  

Someone will rule his property like a King

2019-05-09 15:10:43 UTC  

his neighbors get mad and start to attack this person

2019-05-09 15:11:07 UTC  

And should this person eminently defeat his neighbors, he will be able to rule his neighbor's property

2019-05-09 15:11:08 UTC  

and so on

2019-05-09 15:11:13 UTC  

No.

2019-05-09 15:11:26 UTC  

"muh non-aggression principle"

2019-05-09 15:11:27 UTC  

That id very untrue

2019-05-09 15:11:59 UTC  

In a world with scarce resource and unlimited demand, the non-aggression principle is nothing more than a meme.

2019-05-09 15:12:17 UTC  

If you had McDonald and Burger King right next to each other and they should expand naturally

2019-05-09 15:12:23 UTC  

eventually they'll border each other and get mad

2019-05-09 15:12:33 UTC  

Tech

2019-05-09 15:12:37 UTC  

Both companies want to expand, both refuse to sit down

2019-05-09 15:12:42 UTC  

what is your political ideology

2019-05-09 15:12:48 UTC  

with limited government control

2019-05-09 15:12:54 UTC  

two companies begin to amass arms without any restrictions

2019-05-09 15:13:02 UTC  

and suddenly the company that wins becomes more powerful than ever before

2019-05-09 15:13:45 UTC  

The only time when Libertarianism can actually be practiced

2019-05-09 15:13:57 UTC  

is when the state actually is in no capacity to exercise as much control

2019-05-09 15:14:19 UTC  

And should that happen, the state is immediately dissolved and a new state emerges that is stronger than the previous state

2019-05-10 05:16:26 UTC  

@Techpriest first of all

2019-05-10 05:16:32 UTC  

you are completely wrong

2019-05-10 05:16:56 UTC  

though to you your opinion makes sense to you, in the real world it doesnt

2019-05-10 05:17:44 UTC  

Libertarianism is focused on the point that there is minimal government control

2019-05-10 05:17:57 UTC  

and the definition you provided it, you obviously misunderstood it

2019-05-10 05:18:16 UTC  

you interpreted that the civilians stay out of the government, but not at all
