Left libertarian: Dismantle the state for the benefit of people.
Right libertarian: Dismantle the state for the benefit of profits.
Capitalism is a reinforcement of hierarchy focusing on the rights of those who control the means of production. It supplants human rights with property rights. It tramples the needs of the many with the wants of the few.
The horrors of capitalism are hidden behind the sweat shops of southeast Asia making cheap clothes and worthless knick knacks, the slave camps of Africa that mine precious gems and grow chocolate, and the mercenary hit squads and funded terror groups of Central and South America.
Capitalism without the state is the opposite of anarchy.
I’m all for paring down the government by at least 50%….but somebody show me a nation or (major state or province thereof) of any meaningful size (like at least 5M people) that has actually attempted the type of anarchy this dude proposes, and has functioned as a fairly peaceful and prosperous entity for at least 20 years. I’ll wait…..
