I'm depending on empirical evidence
Small government can be better in some instances, worse off in other
yes it does depend on factors
i honestly think certain aspects of the government should be expanded
and others should be remove or limited
Border wall is an example of a big government program that is necessary
And other forms of immigration restrictions
agreed
SAIKAT CHAMRABARTI IS GONE
though i do think the government should privatize the building of the wall and other border security elements
What do you think will happen when the owner of that part of the private wall decides to let Mexicans in on his whim
not a private wall land
With the govt. wall, the govt. is accountable to the people
Private corporations are not
i mean like the government contracts someone to build the wall for them
they own the land and what not
In that case, it can be feasible
i think a lot of thing can be done well with that approach
This is why State Capitalism > Minarchy
ie state monopolies
though i can agree that there needs to be more than just the military, police and courts
how about
Megarchy
dab
I meant the role of State can be used for breaking monopolies and allowing proper competition
oh i 100% agree with that
i hate monopiles and the lack of competition
DEF: State capitalism is an economic system in which the state undertakes commercial economic activity and where the means of production are organized and managed as state-owned business enterprises
This is why you cannot have reasonable competition in the tech industry and simultaneously have IP laws
Either abolish IP laws, or have some provisions by which states can break such monopolies
Yeah, I was using State Capitalism in a loose way
well i think IP are fine but i don't think they should last so long
if Ip laws didn't exist the would be massive problems
Yeah, I agree that IP laws are necessary
drugs for a example cost billions to create
if ip laws weren't there people could just steal them
But it also hinders the ability of another Google or FB to pop up
In a reasonable time
