Are you implying that "warlords" are better than the US government?
Which system is better? A libertarian warlord system? Or the US government?
What exactly makes a warlord system more favorable than the US government?
If you want an example of a government, you don't need to bring up Stalin's Russia or Nazi Germany.. you have an example of government right here in the US!
Clearly you thought through your cunning "less government" libertarian plan, and have concluded that such a system, which results in warlords, would be better than the US government, right? Let's hear that rationale then.
- mindcrime 11y agoIt has not been demonstrated that a libertarian system necessarily results in warlords, so the entire premise of your argument is unsupported. How about you prove that assertion? And please drop the silly "cunning plan" business, this is Hacker News, not reddit.
- Turing_Machine 11y agoNo, I'm stating (not implying) that the hazards of a too-strong central government (such as the Soviet Union under Stalin, or Germany under Hitler) are far worse than "warlords". You're pretending that the only options are no central government at all, on the one hand, and an all-powerful central government on the other. That's not actually the case.
