It was about making government as small and localized as possible.
Regionalism <:unequal:473954748517842954> Libertarianism
The framers weren't libertarians?
Lockeans?
This is news to me.
Stop conflating Localized govt and Small govt
You need to brush up on your history.
But you just said regionalism and libertarianism aren't the same, and the framers were libertarians.
Lockeanism is the founding of the right libertarian ideals
as well as adam smith
Localized government means smaller government. Articles of Confederation is minarchist.
No True Scotsman fallacy. You should know what that is.
That's what you're doing.
i-it wasnt true minarchism!11!!!
Localized governments can be huge

?
sorry
fuck
Small is big. War is peace. Freedom is slavery.
Localized govt can be huge
It can't though.
Look at Syndicalism
It's limited in scope by the GDP of what it serves.
Californian Govt
take that
Big government is big because it's big enough to feed itself via the fed.
Localized government can't do that.
Localized govt can be powerful and big
There's a system of public loans to pay off public loans to pay off the deficit because there's big government.
You are simply wrong.
Seattle banned straws and its a city
Localized government wouldn't be able to infinitely borrow from itself.
Big government is not the same as strict government.
The Constitution is minarchist
Then why aren't we minarchist?
because the constitution only matters if people want it to
Because 200 years of Vote for me for free shit has ruined it
The Constitution enumerates all rights not stated to local government, read the Bill of Rights.
Ergo, early America was minarchist.
