Not really, because laissez fair economics inevitable distribute wealth upwards, resulting not only in a concentration of political power in the hands of a minority, but impoverishes the rest of society, thereby making them less free.

Under capitalism though we've been the best off in centuries. The innovation and advances in technology and medicine due to competition have made us significantly better off.

There absolutely has been some exploitation, but even people in those exploited countries have more access to things due to capitalism.

>>60165762
That's not an argument, it's pure conjecture and it's tacitly utilizing the idea of there being a "freedom aggregate", which, as I mentioned, is not something libertarians do. Libertarians are preoccupied with negative freedoms, not positive ones and not aggregates.

you're memeing here svergiebro. Libertarians took a selection of various thoughts made by classical economists whilst ignoring the rest of the conclusions they reached, making a frankenstein of an ideology. Libertarians often overlook the fact that adam smith said the division of labor made people stupid, and that early economics was called the dismal science because of the implications of capitalism.

I saw a documentary about the American health care and welfare system on Russia Today, which is of course filled with anti-American propaganda. But it is an interesting perspective from time to time considering we only get pro-west propaganda in the Netherlands.
And they were talking about how right wing lobbies in America convinced Americans welfare was bad by giving the impression only lazy niggers would use it.
And while white Americans themselves needed it just as much the whole idea of niggers enjoying welfare made them against the idea.

Is that true?
>>
>>60167029
There's definitely a large stigma against welfare amongst conservatives. Anybody with right-leaning beliefs generally believes that most that are on welfare are skating and mooching off of the taxpayers' money and that the wholes system either needs scrapped or needs drastic reform. I'm not really too educated on the specific issue to have an actual belief on it though.
>>
>>60166807
yet you are yet to vote in a congress that isn't corrupt, and have as a country resorted to litigation instead of legislation to enact public change. If allowing for a dysfunctional government is one of the personal choices you take pride in, then you're pathologically stupid.

>>60167211
In the Netherlands people consider people on welfare leeches as well. But also consider it a necessity because it's considered shameful as a society to let people live below the poverty line or deny someone necessary health care.

So politicians always have to walk a fine line between those two thoughts. But politicians being politicians they always fuck up and swing between denying people health care and allowing the wrong people to get too much welfare.
>>
>>60167029
This is why right wing politicians often campaign on reducing or removing social "safety nets", "handouts", etc. There are large swaths of Americans who, quite innocently and genuinely don't see the problems that the poor and many african american communities face, because they do not live in those burdened places. In addition, they've been sold on the idea that those less well off than themselves are taking resources away, taking money from their pockets for no good reason, just handouts for the lazy.

Social and geographic isolation has a way of closing the mind.

>>60166807
Your "personal choices" here are just how money is taken from you to keep you healthy in the most basic sense. It does not benefit any individual citizen to be overly attached to one way of doing things, yet, you find yourself in exactly that trap. It should alarm you that you have such hostility to new ideas, possibly better systems of figuring out how the country can take care of everyone.

Born in 1989 in Yugoslavia, left in 1994.

I feel that the US is still paranoid about socialism and it's kinda biting them in the ass. I mean, it's the current year and I'm still paying off a surgery I had in 2012. However, like, Soviet and Yugoslavian socialism is shit as it doesn't take nationalities into account. I think a more Sweden-like economy with Hungarian-like immigration laws would be ideal.

>>
>>60168887
Socialism, taken very broadly, can be increased over time as developed countries can afford to take more care of their populations. But that growth is due to capitalism being the primary ideology in the first place, and socialism as a primary ideology is a scary thing indeed, I don't see how the US could be too afraid of it.

Countries like Sweden do it better but they are still, if you research them, rather depressing countries. Surveys supposedly say everyone is happier in Sweden than Europe on average, but they also take more anti-depression meds than on avg. (contradiction), and have other things going for them that allow society to be happier, such as a homogenous population.

Don't fall for the socialist meme, and research more.

The economy got worse because you taxed everything that moved to pay for your welfare programs.
Look at the tobin tax on the stockholm exchange, it produced less than _4%_ of the expected tax revenue. It was a complete and total disaster. Over 50% of the trading share ended up moving to London, which caused a net loss in capital gains taxes and the currency exchange tax ended up losing Sweden taxdollars.

>During the first week of the tax, the volume of bond trading fell by 85%, even though the tax rate on five-year bonds was only 0.003%. The volume of futures trading fell by 98% and the options trading market disappeared
