And libertarianism will not solve the decay of society, the death of the family, the rising drug use, deaths from despair, the loss of identity, and the demographic tide

That can’t be controlled

It is a mechanical, soulless ideology that only has the end of furthering this idea of the free market, nothing more

Especially with authoritarian forfe

it sure can

with a competent state

Statebad

"state bad"

I want a night watchman state

The state isn’t your friend

yeah alright then

They basically are just bully’s asking for your lunch money

He state is

The

state intervention is necessary for prosperity in a wide variety of situations

Like?

well, public utilities like water/electricity for one

not sending kids to coal mines

My biggest problem with the state is property tax

keeping prosperity and intervening in monopolies

@Borb Property tax is the best tax there is out there

keeping vice from the streets

Capitalism can really regulate itself

heh

sure it can

that's what's going on with twitter

Also the Government is technically a monopoly

the state is necessary and a competent one can be quite good for the common good

and that is really what is the end, the common good

You vote with your dollars

right, everything is a market

Take Milton Friedman for example who said that the property tax is the only "good" tax. I agree with him here but the reasons he stated why it was good was because it's the only tax out theere that doesnt penalize productivity unlike the sales tax (the more you buy, stemming from more earned income, the more taxes you pay), tariff (the more trade there is, more taxation) and income tax (for obvious purposes)

@Borb

No

That’s MY land

we should allow prostitution and put a dollar value on everything on earth, it all must be the route of most efficiency and most profit

MY property

not the states

tell me, bud, who protects your property rights?
