everyone on here needs to learn about Mises
and Austrian economics
reading econ can be fun
He is one of the, if not the most important economist of the 20th century
you should curate like a lil mini-curriculum out of links and videos
this is a good website
you should check it out, bookmark it
think of it as the curriculum you'd force Kanye to read
set it as your homepage
lol
there's so much great content
have you read a book called Freakonomics
havent read it
sounds familiar
its about how abortion lowers the crime rate and the superman radio show doxed the KKK
sounds good
its all drawn from statistics
its stuff im terrible at, thats why i like reading about it. ELI5
read that i linked you
Liberalism in the classical tradition
i guess im less unlikely to call myself lib as i thought
there's so much great literature out there
i like it
Mises was a genius
not just saying that
he was an actual genius
anarchists are terrible people. they want to subject the populace to chaos so they can live without accountability
under their system of choice i would simply dispense with their lifeforce and take all their cigarettes
ancaps came out of classical liberalism, they rejected the social contract and thought that the market could functon more effectively at protecting rights, for me this is a negation of liberty. Liberty has to be the primary factor.
they made some good arguments too
i dont think they are realistic though
and every ancap i have challenged on this subject has negated liberty
freedom must come before all other considerations. one cannot enjoy any luxury at the cost of their freedom
whats the difference between an ancap market and the free market?
or, how does the ancap market protect rights?
private judiciary and police force
military
