- aric 13y agoClassical liberals/libertarians, voluntaryists, minarchists, and anarchists don't ultimately want underground markets. It's actually closer to a living nightmare to them. People who want 'real' liberation want freedom: not having to hide and not being victimized for consensual interaction. That is the freedom of choice and ability to choose openness. In other words, underground markets don't exemplify more liberal-libertarian models of governance. Underground markets more so reflect liberal-libertarian people attempting to coalesce under extreme duress. This holds true for other issues in parallel.
