There's a big difference between an incompetent government and a libertarian free-market paradise. The two aren't even comparable. A corrupt government bureaucracy with central economic planning based on nepotism and cronyism (presumably, Venezuela) is pretty much the polar opposite of what any sane libertarian or anarcho-capitalist would be advocating for.
- ChuckMcM 11y agoI agree they would not advocate it but I'm wondering how they would prevent it. It is easy for people who don't understand the consequences of their actions to over power those who do, because they are willing to take action that favors short term gain over long term survival. So your 'sane libertarian' or 'anarcho-capitalist' who was not also willing to destroy the economy to further consolidate their influence, would be swept aside by thugs who were willing to do that.
