So I have a brief question on the act of murder and how this will be dealt with within an anarcho-capitalist society.

How would a judge go about murder? Since the individual who has been murdered cannot go to court. The only ground on which I can think that a judge would prosecute a murderer then is because of the common well-being, "society". But since "society" is not really a category within an anarcho-capitalist framework, on what grounds would a murderer be prosecuted?

Can you believe that this sub is littered with people excited about the prospect of Ron Paul being part of "The Department of Government Efficiency"?

Who wants that?!

Why would anyone want one of the greatest champions of individual liberty in our generation to be put in a position where he would have the ability to substantially shrink the size of the federal government?

I mean what type of libertarian would ever want that? It is disgusting!

Everyone here should know that libertarians have had no federal representation really ever and we need to keep it that way!

Don't the people here know that disliking Trump is more important than implementing objectively good ideas?

It is so gross.

You even have people like Dave Smith, who many of us respected or at least found entertaining, deciding that the potential benefit of voting for Trump outweighs the negative. It is horrific.

I just hope that all of these Ron Paul loving, federal government shrinking, fed destroying libertarians get out of this sub. We have to talk about important things like how we can never strategically vote for any main stream politican to give traction to our ideas.

• I really didn't think that a /s on this post was necessary; however, this sub seems to be a bit more heavily on the spectrum than most. I have had 3 people now DM me private asking me to confirm that I am being sarcastic. So here is your /s people.

Peter Schiff has expressed enthusiasm for the concept of gold-backed crypto. But such products already exist: for example Tether Gold. Schiff has not acknowledged them, which suggests that there is something unsatisfactory about them. Can someone explain to me the flaw, as Peter Schiff would see it, in Tether Gold?

I know that commodity-backed crypto is somewhat antithetical to both the cryptocurrency philosophy and the stacker philosophy so I'm not looking for comments along those lines. I just want a better understanding of what Peter Schiff might want from a gold-backed crypto, and why Tether Gold does not do.

Those subs are abhorrently moderated and not even remotely representative of the state of Texas their names suggest. The enemy of my enemy (them) looks more and more like my friend.

US used to be a very libertarian country with open border before turning communist. How? Government income is from tariffs. Also, only landowners can vote. Land owners of course want land value to go up.

So this small violations of libertarian principles can benefit libertarian on other area.

Tariffs and other regressive taxes are actually good. That means people have to pay tax to live among you. That filter out many parasites.

For example if you have progressive tax and welfare, open border sucks.

But if you have head taxes like Dubai you can import 70 percent of population as immigrants and profit from them.

The great injustice in democracy is those who contribute nothing to the state and economy somehow control the state by voting.

That is why we have redistribution of wealth from the productive, diligent, and smart to cradle to grave welfare parasites.

Those parasites can vote and simply vote for more and more communism and dei racism. They know nothing about economy or common sense. They contribute nothing. But they can rule YOU.

Under capitalism those who contribute control and benefits. Corporation shareholders are usually founder and early investors.

With regressive taxes like tariffs and head taxes everyone contribute equally and hence can vote equally. Equal tax for equal votes.

Many other libertarian measures become easier.

Open border, elimination of welfare and healthcare and public schools can a then be achieved when parasites that can't afford regressive taxes leave, don't come, or starve to death.

The one thing Trump is not libertarian can actually benefit libertarianism.

None of the 3 is perfectly libertarian.

Unlike Trump Oliver don't plan to win. So he can go all the way and be purist without thinking whether voters agree with him or not.

He can say that government doesn't handle health care at all. Eliminate income taxes and all welfare.

He doesn't have to win. His idea can be disagreeable and very impractical and he can say it. Why bother moderating at all?

Milei? I love this guy. I know many of you too.

But again her is not pure. There are still income taxes. There are still the state.

He got to win.

He himself said we are not going to eliminate welfare right away. people need to get used to self reliant first.

And then Trump. I know he is quite far from libertarianism.

But here is the catch. He got to win. He got to beat Kamala. Otherwise you have 4 years of communism.

Of course he can't go all the way eliminating welfare and so on. He will lose.

So why so many libertarians say voting for lesser evil is voting for evil. That's the best we can get for now. Lesser evil.

Can Oliver beat Kamala? No right. The system is designed for moderated to win. Libertarians are NOT moderate. We can't win on our own. So we join force with conservatives. Trump makes some good deals for us.

Not perfect. No One is. Not even milei.

So why Trump is lesser evil and Oliver isn't?

The most non libertarian thing Trump propose is tariff.

I once asked a person here. Show me a country with open border that's rich and powerful.

I thought none are. Liechtenstein are not open border. Singapore not. Dubai not.

It seems impossible for a country to be rich if it keeps accepting economic parasites.

Then that person say America before income taxes.

I was surprised.

Then yea it's true. America was an open border. It's first anti immigration laws are Chineser exclusion act.

So how does America got rich?

Tariffs.

The great injustice in modern democracy is redistribution of wealth. That happened because cradle to grave welfareparasitesf don't pay taxes but can vote.

With tariffs, poor people pay taxes too. I prefer head taxes, land taxes and sin taxes. But at least now the poor pay too. Not just the economically productive.

And Trump tariffs will do that. Immigrants can come in but they got to pay higher costs of living due to tariffs. Income tax will be gone.

Wif everyone can vote equally, it's only fair everyone pays the same taxes. Regressive tax is good. Keep riff raffs away.

It may even be better than my idea of turning voters into shareholders.

High cost of living and less welfare will eliminate poverty. Poor people will simply starve to death and as a libertarian I kind of like it.

Fuck welfare
