There is nothing authoritarian about voluntary trade (capitalism). Free markets are morally superior & are the natural result of peaceful human interaction. Authoritarianism & institutionalized theft are completely antithetical to capitalism.

Capitalism is just free trade with respect for individual rights.

The State is the seed of corruption that makes violations of individual rights acceptable for a select few, allowing people & organizations to grow at the expense of others instead of by trade & mutual exchange.

You have things backwards. Govts grow & dominate. We are naturally a social species that cooperates through trade. Social behaviors are voluntary. The coercion & theft that form the foundation of all govts are anti-social behaviors.

We live under a soft form monetary & regulatory slavery which is managed by corporate quangos & the political class. However, this system is disguised as a kind of capitalist democracy. And that disguise is used to get anyone unaware of this scam to support more of the monetary devaluation & regulatory burdens that enslave people in the first place.

libertarianism is actually compatible with socialism, communism, capitalism, and fascism, the single restriction being that those systems are organized voluntarily. You can have communism in a libertarian society, it’s called a commune, but if it turns out that the system doesn’t scale or doesn’t produce, you can’t make the rest of the world your slaves to “make it work.”

Libertarianism isn’t a prescription about *how* to organize. It’s a framework to allow us to organize in as many ways as possible so we can endlessly discover and refine the concept of organization itself.

It *only* requires that you treat everyone around you as a free human with self ownership, and not your slave.

When a corrupt clown sits atop the political heirarchy, the political system reaches its most authentic form.

Tucker Carlson & Glen Greenwald are economically retarded, & to be wrong about economics is to be totally destructive toward human rights & the average person's quality of life.

Every major problem in modern society stems from govt regulations, economic policy, & the inevitable corruption that results from centralized control. The solution is to allow people to be free to solve each other's problems in whatever way works best for those who have problems they need solved. That's what a free market & sound money is all about.

Decentralization increases competition & the number of options people have, increasing the number of options places checks on the power of any one group, which ultimately reduces corruption & results in more voluntary relationships, which means people primarily get rich to the benefit of others rather than at their expense. Reducing options & increasing govt control does the exact opposite.

We are social animals, but that doesn't make individual boundaries any less important. In fact, it means no one ever has to be forced to be part of any group "for their own good" because we all already want that.

Families too can & should be dissolved when they become abusive to individuals. It is whether or not groups serve the individuals which form them that determines whether said group should exist or not. Families & groups of all kinds should not exist at the expense of anyone. You are not a slave to your family. It is slavery vs loving & caring for people; these things are mutually exclusive.

Pretending any group is more important than the individuals that make up the group would mean that anyone can be destroyed if it serves the group.

You can't divide an individual, but you can always divide & reform groups around individuals. Individuals are prime.

Groups are always divisible & expendable abstractions. Only the individual is prime.

People should be free of human coercion so long as they respect others in the same manner. No one has a right to be free from disagreement, or hate, or difficulty, or competition, or struggle. All criminal acts (no matter how you dress them up) stem from the initiation of force or fraud, everything else is just life.

An incredible percentage of the problems plaguing mankind seem to be traceable back to a bunch of psychopathically delusional inbred pedophiles.

I feel like I’m about to do the same. But I cant. I have mouths to feed.

I often see this spectacular pile of BS repeated in many different forms. The truth is, nature is constantly trying to kill you. Nature makes you work for everything. Only people completely disconnected from the actual nature of wilderness believe nonsense like this.

This thought is just more False Choice Fallacy Propaganda. I choose not to choose one of two polar extremes because I'm thoughtful. Economic individualism is bullshit that seems to only be pushed by those who are capable of defending themselves with violence.

Have you ever considered an Affinity Group?A large family, small community or a neighborhood are examples of an Affinity Group. All members of an Affinity Group know at least the reputation of all others in the group. This is natural to humanity.

Individual > collective
