I do tend to disagree with traditional conservatives somewhat

2018-07-29 14:01:01 UTC  

lol anyone in their right mind should

2018-07-29 14:01:07 UTC  

But I’d say libertarian economically and social issues is a mixed bag

2018-07-29 14:01:59 UTC  

Although on most social issues I really don’t think it’s up to the state to enforce that

2018-07-29 14:02:10 UTC  

i'd say libertarian economics are like lighting the fuse of the bomb we're all sitting on called capitalism

2018-07-29 14:02:49 UTC  

Yeah I get that that’s generally the consensus of socialists

2018-07-29 14:03:09 UTC  

The next step after capitalism inevitably collapses

2018-07-29 14:03:19 UTC  

Which hey it might happen

2018-07-29 14:03:48 UTC  

I don’t see it happening though and if it does happen it will be because of state overreach and intervention

2018-07-29 14:04:21 UTC  

State intervention has always been the most powerful tool in preserving the capitalist status quo

2018-07-29 14:04:26 UTC  

I’m not one to denounce socialists because marxists for example actually have some good arguments

2018-07-29 14:05:16 UTC  

Generally speaking less intervention in the economy works better but what you say is true

2018-07-29 14:05:51 UTC  

Politicians have been putting regulation after regulation as bandages for the damages caused by former regulations

2018-07-29 14:06:00 UTC  

It’s politics

2018-07-29 14:06:14 UTC  

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

2018-07-29 14:06:43 UTC  

While the land of deregulation USA is heating up to a point of crisis

2018-07-29 14:07:12 UTC  

Corporations have amassed so much power there

2018-07-29 14:07:28 UTC  

and it's creating huge social issues

2018-07-29 14:07:53 UTC  

and economic ones, when the next crash inevitably happens

2018-07-29 14:08:36 UTC  

There is another big bubble looming over the usa and it’s going to burst this is true

2018-07-29 14:08:56 UTC  

But it’s not due to deregulation at all

2018-07-29 14:09:17 UTC  

What is the reason for it in your opinion?

2018-07-29 14:09:36 UTC  

State capitalism is a disease

2018-07-29 14:09:36 UTC  

Well the last one was of course the housing crisis of 2007

2018-07-29 14:09:48 UTC  

Which was caused by... not enough regulation

2018-07-29 14:10:00 UTC  

Money is a spook

2018-07-29 14:10:00 UTC  

and predatory companies exploiting millions of people

2018-07-29 14:10:32 UTC  

It was mainly caused by the federal reserve raising interest rates at a time when the economy was not prepared for it

2018-07-29 14:10:38 UTC  

But Trump undid all the regulations Obama put in place after, i mean surely they have learned their lesson now ))

2018-07-29 14:10:40 UTC  

And it raised them and raised them

2018-07-29 14:11:12 UTC  

i haven't read about the Federal reserves role in the crisis im afraid so i can't say anything to that

2018-07-29 14:11:14 UTC  

Capitalism always has periods of rise and fall from which the capitalist class is largely left unaffected and the working people bear the burden of the financial crisis

2018-07-29 14:11:31 UTC  

And they say “it was because of deregulation” as an excuse to impose more regulations to keep the working class poor

2018-07-29 14:11:32 UTC  

Happened in 1930

2018-07-29 14:11:36 UTC  

Happened in 2008

2018-07-29 14:11:42 UTC  

It will happen again

2018-07-29 14:11:59 UTC  

The regulations were in place to protect people form getting scammed into loans they can't afford

2018-07-29 14:12:12 UTC  

and here is where a libertarian would say

2018-07-29 14:12:14 UTC  

YOUR FAULT

2018-07-29 14:12:17 UTC  

but that's not a good answer

2018-07-29 14:12:30 UTC  

Well another problem would be the government promising to bail out the banks
