Yeah, sorry, Libertarianism is more like a religion than a system of governance. Leaving everything to the "free market" just frees those who already have wealth and power to do whatever they want and shackles the rest of us who's only power at the moment is our vote (and even that has been eroded over the last 40 years.) > If you want my money you have to tell me what I am getting otherwise its just extortion. You do get told what your tax money will be used for. Constantly. If you choose not to pay attention and choose not to vote, that's on you.

> Yeah, sorry, Libertarianism is more like a religion than a system of governance. Though I support Libertarianism, my post was not about it. I am saying, 10 small socialist nations > 1 big socialist nation. 10 small Apple > 1 big Apple. My point is big state or corporation is risky and can abuse their powers. We have anti-competition organisations for corporations. We should have for states too. If people of a region wants to secede out of a socialist/capitialist/etc regime we should all support. > Leaving everything to the "free market" just frees those who already have wealth and power No not just weathly but _everyone_. > to do whatever they want and shackles the rest of us Like, maybe, all Libertarians, I support non violence. I dont see how that would happen. > who's only power at the moment is our vote Vote is not power. The elected may have powers. But not voters. A widespread misunderstanding. Vote in exchange for personal freedom only favours elected & friends. People are now realizing this. > (and even that has been eroded over the last 40 years.) Yes the world is correcting itself. Vote is not a power. Its productiveness or how useful/neccessery you are to others. To gain productivity you need freedom, thats what I advocate for. > You do get told what your tax money will be used for. Thats not really same as Apple wooing me for iPhone. > Constantly. If you choose not to pay attention and choose not to vote, that's on you. I am from India and I voted for Modi. I have never felt more cheated than now. Look at what a circus India is now. If thats not a case for Libertarianism/Microstates I dont know what is.
