Think this is less about liberalism (it doesn't argue for government to be run like a business) and more about US-inspired thinking where businesses are better

Think this is less about liberalism (it doesn't argue for government to be run like a business) and more about US-inspired thinking where businesses are better than governments.
- Erlich_Bachman 7y agoNot arguing with the statement, but note to you: he said "libertarianism", not "liberalism". The two are obviously very different.
- capableweb 7y agoThank you, I did misread that part.
- a3n 7y agoWhich, to be clear, is an idea that I detest. But governments do hate competition.
- bongobongo 7y agoThis isn’t as insightful as you think. You’re tautologically describing the notion of sovereignty. Sovereignty is supreme power. Of course it abhors “competition.”
- bongobongo 7y agoLibertarianism is not the same thing as liberalism (classical nor modern).
