Socialists look to force other people to help the poor and needy using the coercive power of the government.
Libertarians look to remove existing government restrictions that prevent those who actually want to help the poor and needy from doing so.
If one thinks restrictions on helping people don't exist and thinks socialism is the way to go, they're probably not paying attention or haven't actually tried to help people themselves and just want to steal people's money or force their will on other people.
People haven't fully understood the level to which India has been infiltrated by socialists and socialist ideas.
There is no such thing as an 'Indian way' that finds a 'balance' between capitalism and socialism. That's arrogance and denial of the horrifying lessons learnt around the world by countries which attempted the same thing.
The middle of the road always and everywhere leads to socialism, no matter the population size, culture, language, religion and geographical location.
The ideology and the policies it promotes have to be eliminated root and stem from the country.
The disillusionment of Indian youth with both the left wing and the right wing in the coming years will be glorious.
What will play a huge role in this disillusionment is the realisation that economic policies of both sides inevitably lead to:
1. More inflation
2. More taxes
3. More restrictions on businesses
4. More freebies and subsidies
5. Less economic freedom
6. Less production
7. Less savings
8. Less profits
The collapse of socialism, fiat money and central banking is inevitable. The question is not 'if', but 'when' and 'how'.
This applies to India more than it does to America because the Rupee depreciates far more rapidly than the dollar. The Reserve Bank of India is a leech on Indian society and must be abolished.
It's just that there are many of us who will keep buying Bitcoin, mine it or try to earn it directly no matter what price it is. We will keep working in the industry, talking about it and educating people no matter how dangerous it is to do so. Most of us will educate people for free.
We will not stop till government-controlled fiat money dies a deserved death, legal tender laws are abandoned and central banks are exposed and abolished for the uncivilized, barbaric leeches they are on society.
You shouldn't buy Bitcoin unless you've studied about it for well over 100 hours.
But you should definitely abandon fiat money and call for the abolition of central banks, for the sake of those that come after you.
They said Bitcoin was a bubble at $28 in 2011, and declared it dead after it crashed to $2 later in 2011.
They said it was a bubble at $1000 in 2013, and declared it dead after it crashed to $200 later in 2015.
They said it was a bubble at $16,000 in 2017, and declared it dead after it crashed to $3000 later in 2018.
They said it was a bubble at $70,000 in 2021, and declared it dead after it crashed to $15,000 later in 2022.
And they will say that it's a bubble if it keeps going up next year and declare it dead if it crashes.
Maybe they are missing something.
Ajay is a former bureaucrat who is one among the many 'reformers' who gradually liberalised India's economy after 1991.
Amit is a classical liberal/libertarian who has been writing and speaking about Liberty in India for well over a decade now.
I highly recommend freedom-minded Indians who follow a lot of politics to watch this.
That people who read a lot of books automatically become smart is a myth.
It is possible for a person who has read hundreds of books to still be incredibly stupid, hopelessly confused and morally depraved.
So if you're someone who doesn't like to read, you don't have to be worried at all.
