You confuse anarchocapitalism with libertarianism.
Something like 90% of libertarians I speak with are in favour of social safety nets (guaranteed basic income comes up a lot) and progressive taxation.
Everyone believes in collective effort for the greater good. People just disagree about the best way to achieve this collective effort.
- buttcoinslol 9y agoFair enough, modern libertarian ideas about social safety nets may be more progressive than I realized. I'm surprised a Guaranteed Basic Income is advocated for by libertarians, but it's an idea I would like to see tested, I think it would cut down on a lot of the anger and other negative emotions associated with poverty that tend to keep people impoverished. On the second point, that's true. The same or similar outcomes can be achieved with different policies/incentives.
