National Socialist here, although for America i would be an advocate for Libertarianism. My political views change based off of which country is in question

I used to be a libertarian but I think we need to strictly regulate business and the economy or else we'll end up in the gilded age again. I still agree with libertarians on most issues though.

I reside on the libertarian end of the spectrum, but pop-libertarians are not only obnoxious, unfunny and delusional, but fail at any argument outside of economics... Which is the weakest of the soft sciences.

I am probably the most libertarian person here. Don't fuck with me, I won't fuck with you. If you don't like it, don't fucking do it, and definitely don't take away my right to do it.

Because I don't want to live like a serf working for vouchers only redeemable at the company store.

I don't believe in efficacy free markets. In an ideal world they might work, but as things are they don't. The super rich are already locked in and will stay that way forever, whereas people are born into poverty and have pretty shitty chances to get out of it.

64% of the Libertarian party in the US are male, 94% are white, now why do you think that is? It's because they are the people who start furthest forward in the genetic lottery, the ones who have the most to preserve through libertarianism.

I am white, anglo and male myself but I don't believe that I deserve to live better than those who aren't just because I won the genetic lottery.

>government forcibly regulates corporations
>restricts buildout of infrastructure
>impossible to have any competition
>HURRRRRRR THIS IS THE FREE MARKET’S FAULT THE GOVERNMENT MUST STEP IN AND REGULATE MORE
This is how mentally defective you actually are. Go fucking educate yourself.

The last Recession was caused by unregulated banking, too much was loaned out. The property market became inflated because of this. If the US was a liberation state at the time it would have caused a depression.

Because jnregulated business results in the ever widening financial gap that we have now, and puts money in the driver's seat of the government i stead of the people. The world's income inequality is currently on par with how it was in the 1800's. Unless you own two yachts, you're a retard if you support totally uncontrolled capitalism.

>>571979084
The only monopolies are the ones the government FORCES to exist right now. Removing government intervention prevents monopolies.

>>571979151
I agree that no system should ever exist without some common sense rules in place, but our current financial gap is actually being cause by the regulations and not the other way around.

When governments are allowed to pick winners and loosers the people always loose. This administration and the prior are perfect examples of this.

>>571979625
All those things weren't there before the industrial revolution. So what made people have all those things now?

>>571979617

so all those pyramid scheme bankers and accountants that ripped off billions should be let out, paul?

Libertarians are generally a bunch of potheads and rednecks.
I hate the whole "free-market", people generally agree with it because of the pretty word 'free' it gives you the freedom to exploit and make children work. (Just one example) I perfect fair trade.
Anyways, freedom without socialism is privilege and injust, socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality

Never seen a Libertarian that understood what he was talking about.

libertarians favor the "freedoms" provided by Citizens United, which allows unlimited, anonymous campaign cash from big donors to buy off politicians, then they turn around and bitch about politicians being corrupt, all while acting so smug and superior as to make you want to barf.

honestly, I'm not getting your point. What's wrong with children working? I've never understood this. Farmers train their children to work and do their job. A shoemaker could teach his child how to do his job.... I literally don't understand why this bothers people... it teaches him or her a trade... a way to be self sufficient... There's always going to be someone making more or less money. Therefore, there is always going to be "class"... and healthcare? why should I be forced to pay for healthcare that I don't need or want? idiot.

Because if they're working, they're not learning, and if they're not learning, your workforce is not educated.

no social safety net, no public education, private education, only the rich go to university, no unions or worker rights, unregulated booms and busts which cause depressions, the wealth accumulates at the top because of no progressive taxes, no healthcare for the masses, the environment is destroyed because of no protection laws, mass pollution. How is that progress? Learn from other countries.

Socialism is nothing more than mental illness. It has never worked and never will. Once a country goes socialism, its just a matter of time before it collapses.

>>571980665
You don't have to be educated to work in a factory on a production line. There's no need to educate children if there's no economic benefit in it. It's an uneconomic investment, and it makes people less wealthy. Socialist countries in Europe are starting to get this now finally, after people with university educations can only find jobs as fast food employees.

>>571979084
Government is the only thing that can cause a monopoly. They're impossible in a free market.

>>571979129
Banking is the most heavily regulated industry in the country. In what way did unregulated banking cause it? It was caused by interest rates set so low by the Fed that banks were literally being paid to lend money. And by Fanny May and Freddie Mac backing all loans, so the banks would get paid even if the loans failed. That's not lack of regulation. It's the other thing.

>>571979151

"its just a matter of time"

How much time?. Could you be any more vague?.

This is unfalsifiable conjecture, since every state, government or country will eventually "collapse" however you would care to define that. You could claim viking civilization failed due to their unnatural love of boats, or the pikts were undone by their blue facepaint...

Your argument is not an argument. it's diarrhea in text format. Learn to make an argument or stfu.

>>571981412
I generally agree with you, however all of the EU countries have taken socialism to far and are doomed to collapse, just like Greece. The US is on the edge of overdoing socialism and the next few years will determine if our country survives.

>>571978072
That bankrupt your nation the second it was implemented, they sound really smart.

>>571980814
By giving the government power over corporations and filthy rich you get a government for the corporations and filthy rich. See USA.

Because capitalism is exploitative and unsustainable and ultimately doomed to fail. Libertards are a bunch of nutty Austrian goldbugs who pretend that their house of cards is collapsing because it isnt deregulated enough.

I like you nutters more than those batshit fundies on the right, and even probably more those spineless neoliberals on the "left," both are corporate cronies dedicated to the status quo. But fundamentally, I disagree with the economic argument ubderlying your position.

Because I am a Strasserist

Not sure if I reject libertarianism completely but I don't believe in the non-aggression principle because there are so many zero-sum mini games in the world that it's impossible to live a life without negatively impacting others. What one person takes, others cannot as long as it's taken. NAP will not call it violence to corner a market or to buy things just so others can't have them. If a man stalks the grocery store during restocking and buys out the Lucky Charms just so the kids can't have any and goes home and pours it into a giant bowl and shits and pisses and cums on it, NAP says it's that man's right to do that because the purchase between him and the store was voluntary and no force was used to prevent other shoppers from buying. But as hard to define as they are, wastefulness and sadism are immoral, and NAP fails to identify these kinds of actions.

>>571979507
You need to educate yourself on what fractional lending is. All loan money is created the second it's lended, and payments towards the principle are destroyed as soon as the bank receives them.

>>571979558
The issue with a monopoly is low quality goods at high prices. What prevents a new company from entering the market with either higher quality or lower prices? Any answer to that question involves a government regulation.

Dumbest shit I have ever heard.

Also, because, philosophically, a negative conception of freedom, as opposed to a positive one, is truthfully no freedom at all.

Let me guess? You have never had a history class or read a history book? Socialism fails every time its tried. The only other sure failure is communism. If people can vote themselves free money, the corrupt politicians oblige them and print more worthless money to stay in power. Once the currency collapses, so does society and all of the brainless sheeple on the government dole riot for free food, and then starve to death.
