something that is really concerning to me actually
Yeah definitely
but then you're basically saying that all that your libertarian state would have to rely on principle alone to avoid that kind of stuff?
i mean the world surrounding you will eventually force your hand in that regard in my opinion
When I say I’m a libertarian I mean that in a broad sense
I’d more consider myself in line with libertarian conservative
yeah i understand that but just going from the basics of small government but all the neccessary bells and whistles of modern global capitalism, with an ideological commitment to personal rights and stuff, is that about accurate?
Well what exactly do you mean when you say rely on principle
i mean libertarianism places a deep focus on individual rights, more so than traditional conservaties, so i assumed that's where you split with them?
And also yeah thats about accurate
Yeah seems accurate
I do tend to disagree with traditional conservatives somewhat
lol anyone in their right mind should
But I’d say libertarian economically and social issues is a mixed bag
Although on most social issues I really don’t think it’s up to the state to enforce that
i'd say libertarian economics are like lighting the fuse of the bomb we're all sitting on called capitalism
Yeah I get that that’s generally the consensus of socialists
The next step after capitalism inevitably collapses
Which hey it might happen
I don’t see it happening though and if it does happen it will be because of state overreach and intervention
I’m not one to denounce socialists because marxists for example actually have some good arguments
Generally speaking less intervention in the economy works better but what you say is true
Politicians have been putting regulation after regulation as bandages for the damages caused by former regulations
It’s politics
I'd dispute that highly, it seems that the nations with a larger and well balance state control of important economic and social issues seem to be doing the best under globalism so far
While the land of deregulation USA is heating up to a point of crisis
Corporations have amassed so much power there
and it's creating huge social issues
and economic ones, when the next crash inevitably happens
There is another big bubble looming over the usa and it’s going to burst this is true
But it’s not due to deregulation at all
What is the reason for it in your opinion?
State capitalism is a disease
Well the last one was of course the housing crisis of 2007
Which was caused by... not enough regulation
Money is a spook
and predatory companies exploiting millions of people
It was mainly caused by the federal reserve raising interest rates at a time when the economy was not prepared for it
But Trump undid all the regulations Obama put in place after, i mean surely they have learned their lesson now ))
And it raised them and raised them
