Anarchy-capitalism is crony capitalism. You cannot be kind of a capitalist. You either are or are not crony capitalist.

It's like saying you can be only kind of an asshole. No, you're either a capitalist censorship machine. Or you are not.

If you are capitalist, you should spend the rest of your life in the Hague, war criminal.

Sorry just got heated about Tom Woods.

He legit I kid you not, believes capitalism will punish people who polute the environment.

What fucking planet is that war criminal on?

@LWFlouisa It should work that way, but it doesnt. People should refuse to buy from companies that pollute, but most people care only about themselves. So it doesnt work too well without some regulations to balance it out.

@freemo
It's like American libertarianism is not even libertarianism. It's this weird idealism about capitalism.

@LWFlouisa There are some extremit libertarians who are really just anarchists who claim to be libertarians. I dont consider that real libertarianism though.

@freemo
I understand anarchism. Sort of. But when it combines with ... oligarchism, you end up with a thing that's trying to work against everything Libterianism stands for.

@LWFlouisa Anarchism by its very nature allows for oligarchies. When you have no government to regulate greed and monopolies then they will take over, it is the natural state of humans.

@freemo
Ah so minimal government is key. Not no government.

@LWFlouisa No government will only work if people are morally accountable on their own. Which is not in human nature sadly.
