Lolbertarians and capitalists

The role of the government is to protect and preserve human rights and values, the people have a say in how they would like their society to be run and function, government represents the will of the people and this is done through the democratic process, I know its not perfect but its far better than having the world be run by unethical and tyrannical corporations.

> huurr the market is failing because of government intervention

LOL that's ridiculous since before we didn't have these institutions capitalism had literally free range, and it resulted in people living in slave like conditions, living in boxes, child labor was common, and people were basically paid a barely livable wage, fuck you. Because of socialist ideals and government intervening , with the creation of the welfare state only were these conditions prevented and peoples lives improved, unions forcing greedy employers to stop these unethical practices and pay their fare share. There needs to be some authority present to regulate and keep capitalism in check.

The free market is an abstract thing, its not real and believing in some invisible hand that will correct it is like believing in a fictional almighty being who lives in the sky, its cringy.

Lol you are about 7 years too late Jow Forums isnt libertarian anymore it's full of bootlickers now

after the FISA abuse, statists have no more excuses. they have no more morality to fall back on, they know they're fucked

actual libertarians were far left socialists. quite funny how words get distorted so much by meme tier crap

Lol there's literally a libertarian thread on pol at this moment, I know there are a lot of market fundamentalists on here tho.

There will be an end to the horror if you just turn off your meme flag in you subsequent posts, thank you for your understanding.

Capitalism is the nobility telling the peasantry that the peasantry can be the nobility if they work hard and the peasantry actually believing it despite it requiring the nobility to become peasantry which the peasantry should know the nobility wouldn't do but the nobility knows the peasantry is too dumb to figure it out because the nobility runs the peasantry's schools.

True now they are just bootlickers and corporatist apologists, that's how much the ideology has degraded by greed and selfishness.

I never said it was a free market, what I meant was that capitalism had more free range back then before socialist institutions were established nigger,

> Not to mention everything in his post is either self contradictory, or is demonstrably false

How so?

OP is only wrong in denying the invisible hand, which actually does exist.
Free competition is a positive force for humanity and leads to progress.
The fundamental problem of libertarianism is that if you allow people to do whatever they want, they will defy the invisible hand.
The greedy do not want to compete, they want to rule supreme.
The greedy do not want to trade, they want to take.

Since none of us have yet come up with a way to perfectly prevent or eliminate this tendency, governments must continually fight it.

Government cannot represent the will of the people because there is no such collective will. The first right is self-determination and being compelled to bend to any collective's will is contrary to that.
>LOL that's ridiculous since before we didn't have these institutions capitalism had literally free range, and it resulted in people living in slave like conditions, living in boxes, child labor was common
Conditions were bad all around the world and people willingly submitted themselves to this condition because the alternative was worse. And when "the will of the people" you love so much tried to fight against the excesses it was your beloved democratic government that squashed their resistance.

You are essentially wrong on every single point and should kill yourself.

(The Market) is the new G-d for our century. Mammon himself now reigns supreme. It is the one holy invisible entity all human activity is geared towards. All the tallest and most impressive structures man has built in the past 50 years are built in honor of (The Market).

All faith is placed in (The Market). Questioning (The Market) is the ultimate sin, and will lead to immediate and serious cultural and material repercussions. Libertarians are just proselytizing the dominate faith of our age. It is a mystical force, an invisible hand, by which all decisions are made. The ruling priest class are economists who try (and so often fail) to divine the will of (The Market). The news is littered with religious bullshit about what pleases and displeases (The Market). Fluctuations in the mood of (The Market) are chalked up to everything from geopolitics to the weather. Like all religion, it is a way to keep people in line and make them give up control to (a higher power), and maintain social control for (the elite). After all, if it's the holy will of (The Market), then there's no one to blame.

Okay, firstly. You retards need to stop speaking in meaningless platitudes. Either make your case or don't. Don't rhetorically structure your argument to where it can't be challenged because you're not even making any specific challenges to your opposing position.

Secondly without systemic coercion (the state), how exactly do you think someone establishes a 'monopoly'? A lack of supply ENCOURAGES people to enter the market and become producers. If there is one firm in a market supplying one good, and they price their commodities at a rate which is more expensive than most people are willing to pay, then more producers are directly encouraged to enter the market due to this recognized demand.

The state, and the state alone is the reason why the market is in the shape it is.

Demonstrably incorrect

Once company forms a monopoly it wants to expand into selling other goods as to keep its monopoly on the whole market, it either buys up the competition or will do all in its power to restrict the competitions access to the market, to prevent competition.

So long as you pay your protection money to them. Or not violate any of their hundreds of thousands of arbitrary laws. Otherwise you get ass raped by niggers in Fed Pen or get shot resisting arrest.

>government represents the will of the people

The worse possible argument for Statism. The average person is a unprincipled moron that would think nothing of trading a worthless vote for a "free" stolen lunch. Rent-seeking behavior and associated violence is only incentivized like this under the State.

>since before we didn't have these institutions capitalism had literally free range, and it resulted in people living in slave like conditions, living in boxes, child labor was common, and people were basically paid a barely livable wage

Slavery, child labor, and non-existent wages have been the primary aspects of human society since humans abandoned the hunter-gatherer lifestyle in the Neolithic era. Poverty is the natural state of mankind, it is only through the material abundance brought about by the Industrial Revolution and the breaking of the guild system monopoly by the concept of the corporation that we have risen above this natural state. Child labor, slavery, and poor working conditions have been almost entirely eliminated not by any government, but because the vast majority of these jobs have been automated away. Every agrarian society in the history of the world was a slave society, until the introduction of the tractor.

>The free market is an abstract thing, its not real

The market is the intrinsic result of conscious beings existing in a scarce, material world. Markets and trade exist wherever humans exist, from maximum security prisons to Amazonian tribals. The only question is if the exchange should be free and fair, or if a one party should be able to extort the other by force.

Most people aren't rent seeking parasites even with a welfare state, would you rather not have any safety net and fend for yourself, when you end up in an accident or become unemployed?

Feudalism basically was replaced with another oppressive system I.e capitalism, and no poor working conditions remained shitty and the same until socialist institutions like unions formed to keep capitalism in check. You're just a market fundamentalist worshiping the market. Corporations are more tyrannical than governments since you can't vote on how a corporation should be run and by who, this makes it fascist in a sense.

Abortion is an example. I'm not a Christian but I still think some of their philosophies like a nuclear family and the ying yang mentality of masculinity with femininity. I know libertarianism is not the same for everyone, but whatever.

libertarianism and ancapism has a lot of christian influence, a lot of people argue that abortion is antiethical due to violating the right to life which is derived from the self ownership principle.

These are just concessions given by the state to keep the people in line and justify the State's existence. Everyone of these things are able to exist entirely independently of the State, and do not effect the State's bottom line; their salaries will get paid before the pot holes on your street are repaired. The State that can give you anything you need can take everything you want away.

>Most people aren't rent seeking parasites even with a welfare state

You have an incredibly sheltered view of human nature. Humans are rational actors, or at least believe themselves to be so, and will enviably chose the path of least resistance.

>when you end up in an accident or become unemployed

Insurance. Most of what we would consider the welfare state would be replaced in a libertarian social order by insurance agencies. Without state restrictions and with increased competition you could purchase insurance for almost anything. Hell I already pay about $8 a month for accident insurance through my work that will pay out literally tens of thousands of dollars for each type of injury and for medical leave.

>socialist institutions like unions

Unions are not socialist. Unions can and will exist in a free market society.

>Corporations are more tyrannical than governments since you can't vote on how a corporation should be run

I absolutely can if I own stock in that corporation, aka I have skin in the game.
With government I haven no skin in the game. I have no incentive not to fuck over my fellow man, by stealing his money through taxation and having it redistributed to me. Not to mention that the CEO that lies gets booted out at the first bad quarter; but the cunning corrupt politician that puts the nation a trillion more dollars in debt gets reelected so long as he keeps the gravy train rolling.

Wishful and ideological thinking, you make it sound like these things wouldn't occur even more if corporations were left in charge, this is your market fundamentalism talking, that everything would run better by corporations who's only motive is to profit and grow, they are not concerned with human values or basic rights, or the environment this has been proven again and again and government has always had to step in and regulate corporations cause they are only out to make a buck no matter the harm it causes by externalizing all responsibilities that governments are left to deal with and mop up corporations fuck ups and mistreatment's, fuck off.

> You have an incredibly sheltered view of human nature. Humans are rational actors, or at least believe themselves to be so, and will enviably chose the path of least resistance.

That may be so but where I live where theres a big and strong welfare state most people chose to work and do productive things than sit at home and do fuck all, this argument that people will chose to be passive unproductive blobs is so exhausted at this point...

> I absolutely can if I own stock in that corporation, aka I have skin in the game.

Lol yeah if you have a lot of stock and sit on the board of directors, do you think every citizen will be able to be in such a position of power with just a few stocks compared to all the rich investors? Lol their influence will be so minimal that it wont matter. Yes people have skin in the game cause they can chose who to vote for without having buy stocks and become a big time investor.

That's more like renting a hole, but it is nice and degenerate, which is the point. I mean just sell yourself outright. Not renting or leasing. Not for a limited time. Full and clear ownership. At market rates. I mean, that's a feature of property, right? It can be bought and sold, not just leased.

> You're using words you don't understand again bud.

That's retarded. Either you are property and you own yourself, and therefore you can sell yourself full title outright, or you are not and you can only lease yourself, which makes you something different than property. So what is it?
