government uses progressive taxation to make public goods cheaper to access so average people don't have to spend everything they have just to drive to work in the morning.

Libertarians want to increase the debt burned on the working class by giving monopolies to private companies so they can price gouge on access to public goods (utilities, infrastructure, etc) They never think two steps ahead they just assume "hurrr banning all government=good"

Libertarian society through its natural tendency for competition and efficiency would likely become the smartest, wealthiest, most alpha country the world has ever seen. And I know that sounds like a silly platitude but you know it's true. Competition breeds success. It's what made this country the best country in the world and it would do it again. Plus, the dog eat dog nature would naturally cull failure and redundant humans out. A lot of Americans are redundant and useless. So is the rest of the world though...

Never works out. The rich are smart enough to evade taxes by loop holes, which are made specifically by close ties to the policymakers. To add to that there is no competition, no necessity to improve things and no corrupt, incompetent people are never fired from the job.

>Libertarians want to increase the debt burned on the working class by giving monopolies to private companies so they can price gouge on access to public goods (utilities, infrastructure, etc) They never think two steps ahead they just assume "hurrr banning all government=good"
Only when banks/govt. colludes with private businesses, things go wrong. One of the key aspect of privatisation is removing monopolies. Unfair govt. intervention to push policies for big companies leads to monopolies being created.

Since I'm forced to pay 75% of my income to the state, I would like for that money to be used on something beneficial to society. As of now, 50% of the tax money is spent on neets and niggers looking for a handout.

Most lefties work in public sector, and somehow they don't realize that they're also paid by the tax payers.
>>
>>72933501
Those monopolies you're talking about exist today because of government collusion.
I'm a bit more pragmatic and would advocate putting things in place to curb monopolization if it were to occur by nature of the free market because the oligarchy of a monopoly would in effect be a worse government. However, we don't know if that would even be the case and as it is now, you have government created monopolies and too big to fail banks.

Let companies price gouge, who cares. If you go around asking for $500/hr from every job you apply for, who loses, you or the businesses? You, because you're a fucking idiot who doesn't understand the parts of economics that are so basic, they're practically just human nature.

You should have a look at India's economy. That is what happens when you are authoritarian socialist. We have a dual economy. Half is state controlled, the other half is privatised. The privatised economy is booming, while the govt. owned one is doing horrible.

>government uses progressive taxation to make public goods cheaper to acces

The government has no competiton and so cannot improve the quality of goods and services, nor lower the cost of production, they simply have no incentive to bother.

It's the free market that improves quality, lowers cost and improves efficiency.

>>72933501
>Libertarians want to increase the debt burned on the working class by giving monopolies to private companies so they can price gouge on access to public goods (utilities, infrastructure, etc)

Monopolies are caused by government, no one can price gouge in a free market because they have competing businesses or at least the threat of competing businesses.

Could you explain this? It doesn't fit the definition for "natural monopoly" I learned in university and I don't really know what you mean. Land is traditionally unowned until it's given on a first-come-first-served basis unless the government simpyl "seizes" it.

Of course that's different if only your land has a valuable resource underneath - which is why in most laws, you wouldn't own those things deep under your ground. I don't know anyone having a monopoly on any resource though.

The only player big enough to be considered as a monopoly in land is, again, the government - kind of the point you're trying to refute.

I think most successful people actually hold views very close to libertarianism, just in a more compassionate "equal opportunity" sense than the edgy Ayn Rand objectivity sense.

The notion you describe comes more from the fact that everyone who gets riled up about something, argues something online or takes an extremist view on a matter is likely to be compensating for personal failure - on the left, on the right, and on the libertarian side too.

That doesn't make any argument wrong, though.

Alsl globalism is againt nationalism and due to he current invasion of Europe, people have become more nationalistic.

You could argue that this is the case only because government is so powerful that it hands out welfare, which attracts enemies of freedom. And because gubmint is strong, these enemies can then use their numbers to form it to their whim.

If government was limited to defense and upholding rights, there would be no incentive for leeches to come, and there would be no way for idiots to vote themselves money.

So in the end its not open borders that are corrosive to the freedoms, it's government.

The people who will fail will fail because they don't have the ambition to develop any skills. They will fail because quite honestly, there is no need for those who take and don't produce. I'm sorry if that seems like an edgelord comment. I won't talk about how I would love to see these people suffer because I don't have some twisted pleasure in seeing people not fully realized. I'm just stating the reality. Social welfare is a illusion that the economy can support more than it actually can at some CPI quality of life. It can't and the sooner we let the system reach equilibrium, the less painful it will be in the long run. Right now we just have statistical failures basically on life support and having more children that will statistically fail because they are propped up by welfare.

No. That's exactly why I am a libertarian - because I don't like monopolies. I especially don't like the biggest monopoly of them all, the government and its monopoly on violence/force.

If you statists hate monopolies so much, why do you vehemently defend the biggest and most dangerous monopolies there are?
>>
>>72933297
Well, unless achieved by force. Like the Cartels in Mexico. If they want a monopoly they can't defer to some higher power to grant it, they just have to kill everyone else. In a sense he's right, if it was only corporations and no State at all they would just raise armies to kill each other. But yeah, most monopolies are enabled by the State, the most famous being Bell.

In the last 100 years we've seen an unprecedented acceleration of technology in the free market where there's competition.

>private ownership of public land/goods/infrastructure results in the opposite, just price gouging and monopolies.

No, private ownership results in competition and lower prices for goods and services. Monopolies can only exist when one business holds some advantage that no other private business can obtain, the classic examples is government regulations that favor one business over another.

>monopolies are a natural result of private ownership of everything

Most businesses are privately owned right now and there's little in the way of monopolies except where government interferes.

If we hated the government so much, we'd be anarchists. Libertarians like classical liberals recognize the necessity of government. We also recognize it's inherent monopoly on force/authority, it's propensity toward corruption and collusion, and therefore seek to limit it's scope and power.

>That isn't open to market forces so it doesn't charge monopoly prices

I think op is confusing Libertarians with Ancaps.

Correct me if i'm wrong because i'm not a libertarian. But the ones that defend open borders say that it wouldn't be a problem because also in a libertarian society shit like the welfare state wouldn't exist, right?

I mean, that makes sense, look at the 'refugees' coming over to Europe. What kind of countries are they aiming for? the ones with a big welfare state that will cover all their needs, they are not coming over here to work since they can barely read or write in their native languages and they have IQs in the fucking 70-80s. They just want the free stuff and if they didn't get shit at all they would go back, same shit would happens with the 3rd world people coming to USA, they would get there and fail to adapt since they are dumb and go back or just starve.

Also there are loads of libertarians that defend having closed borders since it's under the umbrella of defense and they consider defense and the army one of the few things the government should control, right?

Do you know what a monopoly is? Feudalism did not have one man owning all land. And land could be freely sold. Some people simply could not afford it or had near-slave status. That's like saying everyone who owns a garden has a natural monopoly, just because some people can't afford to.

There was also absolutism where everything including your soul and your wife's vagina was owned by a single man if he said so, but that doesn't mean that pussy is a natural monopoly or that Mill's thought experiment is anything but that under the current law and under the fact that no mineral to my knowledge has been found unique to only one place (and if it was, it'd not be owned by the person owning the land above it).

So the government ensures that private monopolies (which never happened) don't come around (implying it would happen or be necessarily a bad thing), by stealing half of my money and giving it to someone else, but only after taking most of it for itself?

Geez, I'm really glad that government is providing this service. I mean, if they didn't, I might have faced price gouging and could accidentally have spend more money than necessary. Thank god the government is preventing that BY STEALING MY MONEY FROM ME SO I CANT DECIDE HOW TO SPEND IT AT ALL!

>>72935661
I understand the notion that private monopolies can pop up. It seems reasonable and it's the biggest criticism I have of full right wing libertarianism but at the same time, those on the far right libertarianism spectrum have a point, most monopolies we see today are caused by government and regulation. Even the mexico telecom example is an example of a previously government owned monopoly.

I don't think I claimed there never could be a private monopoly but if we are to look at the various models of government and political ideology, it has overwhelmingly been government creating monopoly which equally if not more dangerous.

I'm more pragmatic. I think there should be some basic regulations and fail-safes but to be honest, I'm not an econo major and I'm not going to pretend to know everything about it. I've heard reasoned arguments why there shouldn't be natural monopolies and I've always personally felt it counter-intuitive.

I don't think any libertarian is asking the US turn into a completely deregulated economy overnight. We can take steps toward deregulation and decentralization of power. I would prefer that actually. It only makes sense to make incremental changes and gauge the outcome than to have some complete revolution.

It's odd to me that there is such kickback against libertarians like what we propose is out of the question to discuss and sociopathic craaaazzzy. Most of us seem reasonable. Why should there not be a libertarian counter voice in the mainstream?

A lot of /pol/ could be described as "libertarian" but not as actual libertarians. A lot of people who aren't fairly recent newfags do still like limited government, free markets, etc. Open borders and free trade are not really a good idea. There are still libertarians around that I guess follow those principles.

/pol/ could probably be best described as "National socialists."

You really love that term but it has little relevance in reality. A monopoly on an industry or product doesn't mean a monopoly on all land needed to produce or manufacture that product.

Maybe if society was contained to a small island and we weren't talking about the entire globalized world.

Also:

Let's take your land monopoly thing and apply it to our current society.
What's stopping these so called land monopolies?
There is of course public owned land, but you can't own that. You can't live in a park. You can't park your car on the grass there and make a home there. So great, you can go there. So let's say all the other land in the country is owned by individuals and companies. So now you can't go anywhere else besides government public land, where you can't own or set up residence. Maybe you go get lost in the woods. But nevermind that, the point is private property rights already exist and yet, this isn't a problem of land monopolies. Companies in order to sell products and services need to be open to you coming and going. Land owners in order to make a profit off of their land, need to either turn it into residences for sale or rent or use it to make a business or factory where people come and go.

This is a manufactured problem ultimately.

Every government in existence interferes with its economics. Interacting with a company at all is not the same as "causing a monopoly by government regulation", stupid.
>>
The same tendencies that result in government corruption and inefficiency will plague *any* institution that persists long enough. So it was with the church, so it happened with guilds, and so it happens with bloated corporations.
Businesses allowed full reign will accumulate capital and influence, which gives them greater ability to leverage capital and influence. Money makes money.
Cartels and oligopolies form readily enough with or without governmental interference. Monopolies of supply exist, indisputably, and are easy enough to establish over resources.
Competition can drive innovation and progress, yes, and in an honest market is healthy. Literally every business has an interest in not playing honest. Competition also can have trouble actually garnering demand if it cannot be seen, found, or move its product or services. To say nothing of simply being bought out, or beaten down.

A critical flaw with almost every economic theory is that they either assume that people all have clarity of judgement (a laughable proposition), or that information disseminates perfectly (whereas all one needs do is look at adverts and industrial espionage to see that controlling information is another stage of the game).

Yeah, governments make monopolies easier, because they're a lever. But you know what? Government is a very loose term, really. Whatever gap is left behind will be filled by something else. Such is life.
Government is just a scapegoat here, the convenient thing to blame in its omnipresence through history. Humanity itself remains the root.

no.
Libertarians generally agree that the state should handle national defense. Opinions on justice and police differ, but its not like we do not want these services.

In a libertarian nation, the people could get all the same services the government gave them, just much cheaper and more efficient.

I was always raised in an anti gov't home so maybe that influences my views.

I believe in the free market because I don't think you should be threatened to be put in a cage for not giving people the stuff you earned. Furthermore, the free market can actually do a lot of good for a society. I would prefer a free market over one where my money is taken and spent for me.

Well that monopoly isn't a problem. People like and are familiar with Microsoft OS. Business is too.

There is no shortage of options. There is however, a shortage of demand for said options.

Result of protectionism. The government decides who can actually get licenses to start up telecommunications companies in mexico, and only gives them to mexican companies, which is to say they only give them to Telemex.
If it wasn't for the government, other large companies like verizion, AT&T, Vodafone, etc. would have come in, started iffering their services and destroyed the monopoly.
So try again please.

>>72939256
With current situation of land owning government:
1. Forces land owners at gun point to provide servitudes.
2. Government itself provides public services associated with such servitudes (roads) cucking land owners aside with threat of violence.
3. Limits prices for land and servitudes. Most important limitation of prices: it prohibits sells of personal rights in the exchange for land use.

You don't really "own" land today. You own very limited parts of rights associated with land.

The choice between government and market control of essential industries and services is a question of how risky a gamble does one want to make.

With Gubment, it's generally mediocre but stable, with extended periods of either fairly awful or fairly good. Slow and steady, moderated by direct public interaction. The trick here is keeping the government beholden to the people, and not the reverse.

With the market, its high risk, high reward. Individual businesses might gain huge market shares, get wrapped up in short term profits, then explode for one reason or another, showering sectors of the economy with the fall out. Or, they might innovate in fantastic ways, acting as bastions of progress. The trick is to make the market care about more than profit- or to make profit mean more than money.

Both fail at key junctures, but such is life.

If there's significant competition, it's not a monopoly. If the control isn't exclusive, it's not a monopoly. The market share of Coca Cola is only dominating in partially developed nations where it got its foot in the door early to tap their water reserves for delicious soft drinks.
The drink market could maybe qualify as monopolistic competition, but any fifth grader should be able to notice the objective fact that an industry with several competing major corporation is not a fucking monopoly.

And just look the cjrrent situation france have a very generous welfare state but every immigrant want to go in england who have shit-tier welfare, thy know that and almost everyone want to go in england bc they can work.

>They make children and your society die because it's a invasion and your are too apathic and fat to resist
If it'a an invasion then that fails the whole "having no intentions of doing you harm" aspect, and thus they wouldn't be allowed in, as libertarianism still allows you to protect your nation, and that would certainly qualify as protection.
