Exactly, I'm a libertarian leaning person. I would want to live in a society like Iceland, where the police don't carry guns but the people do. The only time I would want the government to get involved in the economy would be to protect the environment. Other than that the only laws I would want would be to make murder and rape illegal.

Basically, the worst thing to the libertarian mindset is a massively powerful government that interferes in your business any time it likes and controls you and prevents industry/innovation, all without democratic redress.

Pure libertarian economic/regulatory policies natural endgame is this, only the government in question is actually a private company and your sole source of employment.

Starting the 1960s the Republican party decided to associate the word 'liberal' with the enemy. Communists? liberal. Hippies? liberal. foreigners in general? liberal. It was basically an advertising campaign to make conservatism sound good.

The Democrats are such pussies they just went along with this and avoided using the word 'liberal' from then on. To this day moderate Americans are so brain washed they feel that the status quo is the only possible option, everything else is liberal and an affront to their ancestors.

It becomes tricky because the more complicated a society becomes, the more opportunities for control there are. The two most common options are either having the government step in and say "no, we control this so other people don't" or just letting whoever is best at gaining control through money or networking gain control.

There's no relation between anarchism and communism, unless it's the optimism about the people around you.
Anarcho-socialism is basically: deal fairly with your neighbors, or they'll kill you. Common sense and actually giving a fuck about the people around you means no need for cops, as everybody is a cop and all turn out to repel predatory selfish shitheads.
The US aversion to communism is programmed. It never was a matter of whether communism works or not, the point was that Capitalism was meant to be a bridge between Feudalism and Socialism. This point was so perfectly proved by Marx that the rich and aristocratic people of the time took measures to make sure that wouldn't happen. We've been doing donuts on the bridge ever since and there are strong plans afoot to get us back to an aristocratic feudal system.

But yes the war on drugs is complete bullshit and we should legalize the recreational use of everything, decriminalize the sale of non hard drugs such has weed or LSD, and some hard drugs like Coke. We should invest the money spent on the "drug war" into government run rehab programs.
The war on drugs has ruined a lot more life's than it has saved by throwing people in jail for using their own bodies the way they want, and has indirectly murdered many people by handing over should be legal markets over to cartels.

The National Socialists created the

These are just a few examples.

Keep telling yourself you can protect yourself when big corporations gain more power and you find your taxes rising but your infrastructure crumbling. If you are a libertarian, an ideology which is amazing in practice, you'll see small businesses flourish initially but big business eventually gaining more market share and the small businesses being taken over by the larger corporations. Libertarianism is great when it restricts large businesses. Monopolies need to be broken up to ensure the market stays open and free for new businesses.

>>675532849
>The point of this is not big companies, it's small companies
At this point, any regulation is being drafted under the guidance of the huge companies. That's why it's crony capitalism, not a free market. It only hurts small companies, who don't have a legal department or the earnings necessary to negotiate the labyrinth of laws. I get that you want to curb the excessive pursuit of profit, but you're only hurting people, in the end, because those very conglomerates that you're targeting are those that you're helping.
Take the TPP for example...free trade is good for everyone, the but the TPP is anything but. It's a 5000 page document, and you don't know what it says. Neither do I. The only people who can begin to study it, understand it, and profit by it are the people who control gigantic multinationals.

Classical liberalism and classical conservativism have nothing to do with today's liberals and conservatives. If anything, they are more akin to today's libertarianism. Today's liberals don't care about minding their own business, in fact they frequently involve themselves in others' business despite never being invited. Similarly, today's conservatives do the same thing. However, where today's liberal will focus on getting more involved (specifically getting government more involved) with your finances, today's conservatives get involved in other people's business over social policy (attempting to legislate birth control, abortion, gay marriage, etc.).

In the US the terms "liberal" and "conservatve" have become attached to "left" and "right", when those terms in their original meanings don't necessarily mean that.

The American "left" is liberal on many things and not on other things. The American right is not really "conservative" on a lot of things either. That term traditionally means essentially a belief in maintaining the status quo and an aversion to big changes to it. But the American right at this point wants to essentially upend the American status quo and repeal the 20th century. That isn't conservative, it's reactionary. The American right is also not really about "small government". It likes that idea sometimes, like when it comes to regulating business, but hates it in other places. For example, "build a wall" is a call for bigger government, not less. And a call to criminalize abortion is basically a call to socialize pregnancy, which is again a call for bigger government, for government to control a major area of life that has traditionally been controlled by individuals.

It's also true that most Americans don't know what these terms mean, but there's little civics or political education. Most Americans don't know what all kinds of other political terms (like "socialism") mean either. Also, that "liberal society" has no negatives is like, just your opinion man.

I don't know how you can disagree with me on minimum wage when I haven't expressed an opinion on it, but ok. I think that raising minimum wages is again an example of something that kills small business to the advantage of huge corporations. They are the ones that have the financial wherewithal and political clout to automate some jobs, create exceptions within the law, and take the loss of a location here and there. It's the small businesses that end up bearing the brunt of any regulation, whether that means layoffs or closing down completely. Small business can't absorb losses or price rises the same way that McDonald's can, especially when McDonald's was involved in the drafting of the law.
Many people don't understand that increased regulation (which they are in favor of because of the abuses of international conglomerates) turns out, in many cases, to be just another advantage that those same conglomerates can take advantage of to absorb or drive out of business the competition.
The more power over business we give to the government, the more business will seek to control government.

Fun fact: A $15 minimum wage imposed on McDonald's would result in a 4.3% price increase.

That's less then 25 cents for a meal. And McDonald's corporate wouldn't lose a penny.
They're against it out of principle, they like their employees to be dirt poor and desperate.

Yeah they are job creators.
But I'm pretty sure the government creates more jobs than any one business.
Just because they create jobs doesn't mean they should have free reign to do whatever they want.

My parents are paying for my insurance until I'm 25.
1200 dollars for the 3 of us.
100 dollars for my adderall and I currently have 9000 dollars in unpaid hospital co pay as I have histoplasmosis and treatment is expensive.
The worst is my parents aren't helped out by Obama care as business owners that make much more on paper than they actually keep. An employee crashed into a motorcycle and completely wrecked two peoples lives, now my parents are facing bankruptcy because the umbrella insurance only covered up to 2 million dollars.
This is happening all over the country, we need a single payer system.

That is not job creation in terms of creating wealth out of the sweat of your labor, the imagination of your mind, or the skill of your hands. That is "creating" a job out of nothing, envisioning a role in the bureaucracy that needs to be "done", even when nothing is actually done.
Apart from the military, the postal service, etc... most government jobs are just imagined....it's cool that people get jobs, but they're not really needed or even wanted.
