I mean there might be some extreme libertarians that think like this, but I think the basic philosophy is personal autonomy and accountability. Laissez Faire capitalism, all markets are open and accessible, a person is free to do as they choose including use drugs, unless they violate the rights of someone else in the meantime, all that good shit. This is basically how our government was before it got all centralized and big brother with its 35 agencies came into play. This would be a lot better in my opinion, but like someone mentioned elements of socialism are definitely good for societies too. But under true capitalism, needs for programs like welfare might decrease as people can legitimize any market, and not be as easily exploited by the state or corporations.

We just need to elect people that can rationally blend all this shit. Like a stoner president. That would be fresh, he would be stopping to hit the bowl instead of drink water during speeches haha
Natural Revolution Reviewed by Natural Revolution on . Libertarians, ??? Why Libertarianism Is Mistaken" by Hugh LaFollette In John Arthur and William Shaw (eds) Justice and Economic Distribution, 1979, 194-206. Taxing the income of some people to provide goods or services to others, even those with urgent needs, is unjust. It is a violation of the wage earner's rights, a restriction of his freedom. At least that is what the libertarian tells us. I disagree. Not all redistribution of income is unjust; or so I shall argue. Rating: 5
