In a libertarian free market society, what is there to stop me from buying all the water companies and infrastructure, and replacing everyone's running water with raw sewage?

What would stop me from also buying all the bottled water companies and accompanying infrastructure and selling bottled water at $100 a bottle? Or just replacing the bottled water with raw sewage also?

I'll also sell filters, so that people can filter their tapped raw sewage into clean water. The filters will be good for about 50 liters of water, and cost $5,000 each, or maybe more, would have to analyze the market.

Any competition will be instantly subdued/killed by my PMC. I will protect the business corner that is rightfully mine with libertarian principles, only engaging those that seek to usurp my business with force to obey the NAP.

So, what is an average person to do? They have no choice other than to spend all their money on these filters or bottled water, or drink raw sewage to survive. I could also get in the pharmaceuticals/medical industry and invest in, and raise the price of, relevant drugs in advance.

>le you aren't rich you can't do this!!

What stops a super rich kike from doing this? Rothschilds could do this with their pocket money.

>muh NAP

Doesn't violate the NAP, people are still making their own free choice to pay for and drink my raw sewage or not.

The fact that you'll never have that much money to begin with, and you're going along with the implication that all of that will be up for sale. Even with this, sure you've got water, but boy that's not going to be enough at all.


Also, Anarcho-Capitalism is not the same as Libertarianism. End this meme.

Water will also eventually be outsourced by charities, which are part of the free market. People will invest in mutual funds for water, including desalination.

Either way, you'd never have enough money to buy all water resources. You said to assume you would have enough money to buy it all but you can't. The price of that water would skyrocket as you bought it all up and no currency could reach that ceiling (fiat money supply isn't part of the free market, so you couldn't just print currency).

>Water would become expensive for the general population, too so the problem still stands

It already is. The state already has to subsidize water to artificially low prices. The true value of water is greater than the cost of bottled water and because of that many people in poor nations die. People already suffer from lack of water because it's a limited resource. If we were in a free market economy we'd never get to this problem because the market would have corrected itself long ago and population would have capped already.

Except they don't, unless you're comfortable acknowledging that certain things are rightfully the common property of all mankind (or at least all the citizens of a given country.) The atmosphere, most of the ocean, whatever lands we judge should remain wilderness & so be protected and so on.

And the idea of public ownership is kinda antithetical to libertarianism -- at least as people on here usually understand it.

Take the EPA spill in Colorado's Animas River for example. There would be no collective ownership of the river or the mine, but because the toxic spill affected your personal property by poisoning the ground water in your land you have the right to sue the EPA.

If you live in new Orleans and it sank because of rising sea levels and you were able to articulate in court that it was specifically the pollution caused by certain industries, there would be a case to regulate those industries.

It's not about public ownership of land or air or sea. It's specifically about how it affects your own personal property.

This seems like a completely workable system to you. You see no flaws in this at all. The fact that there's been unanimous scientific consensus in re: climate change for decades and we're still having enormous difficulty getting people to accept it doesn't give you pause? Your big solution is for people to band together and prove that certain industries are causing it AFTER THINGS HAVE GOTTEN BAD ENOUGH THAT CITIES ARE SINKING BECAUSE OF IT. That they must prove that in court.

That's absolutely fucking absurd.

That's not even getting into heritage sites, national forests and parks and other gov't protected lands, unless you want people to give those up.

What I said basically means that the same mechanisms will exist for regulating environmental damage as they exist today. No more, no less. I never said it was perfect. The current system has its flaws, too. It's just how I imagine it would work.

And you don't have to wait until the city sinks to sue. You don't have to wait until an aggressor pulls the trigger on you before you defend yourself.

Governments aren't the only ones protecting parks and forestry. Private charities already exist that fulfill that role. The point of doing this in a libertarian society is that if enough people actually care, it can be done with minimal waste. There would also be the benefit of coming up with unique and favorable business models to sustain them. The whole perk of free market capitalism is mass competition.

>>75538103

Libertarian isn't anarchy.

There are barebones intrusions into the market to prevent this type of thing from occurring.

All ethics go out the window when you're dealing with uber elite companies whether they are government or privately owned.

The laws may as well not exist at that point because they are either having the state write laws in their favor or buying verdicts to continue bad policy.


Does the state really protect you from these types of actions as well as forcing the companies to cannibalize each other and compete like free market does? Both systems have inherent flaws obviously.

Because threads like these happen from time to time and the OP is debunked.

Also OP actually means anarcho-capitalism as there are typically still basic regulations and a somewhat retained element of mix-market economics involved in most libertarian ideologies to a minor degree. Its only anarcho-capitalism which is the most extreme form of libertarianism that does away with these things 100% to give full freedom. So for these threads we get the most extreme form of libertarianism, apply a complex and unrealistic hypothetical situation and still end up at a logical endpoint and explanation as to why it wouldn't occur.

Most people of /pol/ would prefer to forget about libertarianism though, over time /pol/ has lost resonance with the live and let live attitude combined with 'anarchist' ideas that ruled the undertone of 4chan as a whole during the republican years. The slow swing back to where we are today as more conservative is just a counter-culture response to the mainstream view and libertarianism only is partially attuned to that.

People would emigrate. If there isn't reasonable access to a necessary commodity, like water, people would leave. They'll go somewhere where there is clean water.

>Any competition will be instantly subdued/killed by my PMC. I will protect the business corner that is rightfully mine with libertarian principles, only engaging those that seek to usurp my business with force to obey the NAP.
How so? Monopolies can only exist when either the one company prevents others from entering by force or when no company can compete. I don't think it would be hard for companies to pop up like poland spring selling real water instead of your sewage.

>In a libertarian free market society, what is there to stop me from buying all the water companies and infrastructure, and replacing everyone's running water with raw sewage?
First of all In a libertarian free market society, what is there to stop me from buying all the water companies and infrastructure, and replacing everyone's running water with raw sewage?
Given you have the money to purchase and sustain your sewage is water plan, people would also have to voluntarily sell you their water. Though you may hypothetically offer them infinite amounts money, I believe there are some who would retain their companies simply out of the self interest of owning a company that produces drinking water or perhaps viewing that owning such a company is worth more than any amount of money you have to offer. There isn't any point in having all the money in the world when you are going to die because there isn't any water to drink right?

How would you deal with anyone who has a private well on their property? These people have no need for your water.
