it probably does not
libertarianism is a means in itself just like every other ideology which is why its a joke to engage on its underlying principles
that is not the same thing as increasing consumption
There are still many cities and towns in Canada called 'dry towns' which effectively uphold alcohol prohibition laws in the country to the present day
those are not equivalent
Hundreds
to get rid of the rats, just release snakes
- ancapism
Even though the national prohibition has been lifted
it serves no greater purpose other than wealth production
@Leaf I mean, that's fine. Why couldn't you just try that instead of doing that on the federal level. And why would you assume Libertarians would oppose that?
The federal government did do that
I mean, keep dry towns.
and libertarians would oppose it because it literally infringes on public freedoms
individual freedoms
It dosen't
I don't care about your freedoms I care about the well-being of my people
It's purely voluntary association. Have you read what Hoppe wrote on on contractual convents?
no, a dry town is not a voluntary association
Why is the federal government distinct from the municipal in this regard
it is a government which passed a law
it has nothing to do with voluntarism
the law is enforceable by state power
@vicmaxim If by "means in itself" you are referring to ideological positions as purely instinctual, I would say you are half correct. People that tend to drift around servers like this and discuss politics, philosophy, etc. significantly more deeply than the average person are more likely to be convinced one way or another if the underlying principles of their ideology are challenged enough.
@Fénius Farsaid look dont serve the ideology
that's all im saying
@Leaf A small town or community can be entirely made up of voluntary participants. A federal government by necessity must disallow any secession.
Ima sleep now
Problem?
Man will continue to serve his ideas. We always have and we always will.
man continues to serve man not ideas
specifically the white man
nature's miracle
the white race
There are few individuals who are capable of serving their own interests above their own conceived ideas of the world. The rest are followers.
@Weaboo Kempeitai its not voluntary
the laws are enforceable by state power
It can be
Is the point.
its not
Even among the white race
