```One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that,
for the first time in my memory, we, “our side,” had captured a
crucial word from the enemy. Other words, such as “liberal,” had
been originally identified with laissez-faire libertarians, but had
been captured by left-wing statists, forcing us in the 1940s to call
ourselves rather feebly “true” or “classical” liberals.15 “Libertarians,”
in contrast, had long been simply a polite word for left-wing
anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the
communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over,
and more properly from the view of etymology; since we were proponents
of individual liberty and therefore of the individual’s right
to his property``` @ajsbeast
,my favourite part is rothbard thinks 'liberals' are left wing statists 😂
in america the hyper individualist strand of libertarianism is a new development
also would you consider social democrats left or right
social democrats are right wing
they perserve capitalism lol
they at least think they can use it to the advantage of the worse off
so basically they say they will fight racism, inequality, sexism, etc
while preserving the system that perpetuates the culture that create these social relations.
Ahh jeez there's a word for that... Virtue signalling.
its like in a capitalist context left wing
yeah theyre naive no matter how things work
"in a capitalist context left wing."
The dichotomy between 'the state' and 'capitalism' is a false one
Capitalism can use the state to further its goals because the state is only a tool
hence we arrive at state monopoly capitalism.
further its goals in what way
>imperialism (iraq, syria, libya)
>globalization of capitalism
yeah but thats more of an analysis of how things play out
What's good for the military industrial complex, is good for America.
people still believe in the dichotomy
so people are deluded?
or mistaken
and arguably at least if those on the free market side were in power
at least were
you can't have a 'non global' capitalist economic system.
what the hell is 'capitalism in one country'
paleoconservatism with like
trade
maybe protectionism idk specifically in what they believe there
Free trade is done in a way that keeps the third-world poor
and the first world rich, The west literally engineered a return to primary commodity exports in Africa using 'free market policy'
whether or not it could be accomplished i think paleocons oppose outsourcing too
Then they would be anti-capitalist, but they are not.
Outsourcing is a result of the profit motive
there are inherent contradictions in capitalism that you cannot resolve with 'more' capitalism.
they see outsourcing as produced by statism
however true that is
like regulations and allowing them to do it
lack of tariffa
tarrifs*
because that's bad for the profit motive
US workers, and western workers are just too expensive
unless they want to accept a drastic decrease in quality of life they cannot fight the profit motive of capitalism.
like i said they will insist that the costs are made higher by state intervention in markets
