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.
🇳🇱
@LWFlouisa I'm a capitalist.
@freemo
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
I didn't use to call myself libertarian. But existing liberal movements didn't fit my perspective.
I want to apply fediverse concepts to nationstates.
@LWFlouisa There isnt really just one libertarian movement. There are really lots of different ones in my view.
@freemo
So what's the libertarian movement that preaches things like "right to work", but what they really mean is "the state won't bail you out if you fall and break your leg." And seem to act like miniature dictators to those will disabilities?
That doesn't seem ... like libertarian is my to me.
@LWFlouisa Well most libertarians would say that should be solved by co-op based insurance, not by the state (the injury part).
Right to work is different. Its the idea that if you dont want to join a union you have the right to make that choice. Basically that you can never be forced against your will to join a union. I support right to work.
@freemo
Coop is an interesting proposition. Definitely has a different town from "if you don't work, you don't deserve societies benefit."
@freemo
I'm thinking something like GNU Social or Mastodon (but NOT Diaspora) writ large.
