as you know the government always adds many taxes and laws. Very bad. People want the State. Also very bad. A thing that could improve any society is a constitutional law that makes it so that any law or tax one proposes is immediately applied to that person. So, if you are a lobbist, you will find yourself subject to the regulation you propose even if it doesn't pass. Just the fact you said in an interview "we need a regulation" will be enough to subject you to that regulation. If it's a company, it's not just the company that will be subjected to the regulation, it will be all the people who guided the company towards proposing a regulation. If you are a think tank that invents regulation, all the people who worked and approved the final proposal made public in any way, shape or form will be subjected to that regulation. It's only fair that the government would help someone who wants some rules applied in at least seeing those rules applied to him. Very fair and helpful like only the government can be, right? If you propose a tax, it can become complicated because you may only propose taxes for third parties. In that case of course you only pay the tax if you actually enter the category you proposed the tax for. If you were generic, like the rich, a special commission will help you define what do you mean by rich. Then you will only pay if you enter the category. Of course keeping track of who is proposing laws and taxes is not free, as they aren't correlated services, so one always pay a fair tax to finance the State so that it can fullfill their dream of seeing what they propose at least applied to them. This is only about fairness. Very fair and just. Let's make this a reality friends.

i dunno discuss monarchies within libertarian societies i guess

Anyone following the story of the NY 28 yo vet getting an entire police department sicked on him because he had a magazine with a 30-round capacity?

Reminder that the majority of Soviet industry was created by western capitalists.

A political figure who I think warrants more discussion on this board is Enoch Powell. Powell is relatively unheard of outside the British Isles, but he carved his name in the stone of history as one the first politicians to promote right-libertarian ideas. Powell's ideology combined British nationalism with a kind of libertarianism that was tailored to the particularities of the UK (e.g. defending the NHS). Powell was the first politician in Britain to advocate for mass privatisation, and he promoted the idea of monetarism as a means to fight the rampant inflation of the time. He supported all of this in the 1960s, back when Margaret Thatcher was almost unknown. During the late 60s and early 70s, Powell also highlighted the threat of non-white immigration, and being Eurosceptic, strongly opposed the UK's entry into the EU. For these reasons, I think Enoch Powell was an incredibly farsighted individual and a underrated Libertarian figure. There is a documentary on YouTube about him called 'Odd Man Out' if you want to know more about the guy, heres a link to it: https://youtu.be/ZITwANJuoLc

Basically, what are the arguments for and against them? I'm rather ignorant on this subject, and I'm curious about what different arguments there are (with citations/evidence, because otherwise it didn't happen, so to speak). It seems to me that the issue isn't copyright law in itself*, but that it has been abused. I've also heard that anti-copyright legislation has actually helped corporations keep their IPs or something to that effect, but how can this be? *At least in the current system and the philosophical theories behind it, but that's another discussion. This is just about the current facts and what can be done or shouldn't be done about them.

This is a very serious problem that I don't know if libertarians have an answer to (I'm not a statist btw, I'm an ancap too, but this is one problem that I just don't have an easy answer to). The problem is this: big tech companies are a new breed of corporations that we've never seen before. Many libertarian books were written when these companies didn't exist (or weren't anywhere near as big and powerful as they are now), so they didn't provide a solution to their existence. I know that society would work better if all aspects of it were handled by the private sector in a free market full of competition, but that's the problem with big tech, there IS no competition, and there never will be! It is LITERALLY impossible for anyone to start a new big tech company from the ground up. Even in ancapistan, I highly doubt anyone could step up to compete against the giants, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, etc. These companies get away with doing things that we criticize the government for doing, such as censorship and controlling information, and I'm not going to defend them just because "at least it's not the government". The only times when big tech were wacked in the head for attempting to do something heinous is, unfortunately, when the government steps in. Yes, I know big tech works hand in hand with governments, but there have been a few times when even the government has had to step its foot down and not allow these companies to do something, and that's just unfortunate, that the only leverage we (the common people) have against these giants is... the government. I'm sure that there's a solution to this that works within libertarianism, but I just can't see it. What do you think?

do you guys consider him an austrian? he seemed libertarian leaning but not quite austrian especially on his opposition to the gold standard. yes i know i misspelled the filename

The only true way to liberty is through seizing the means of productions

What do you guys think about Max Stirner? Although I disagree with him economically, I think he had some pretty good ideas and I like the fact that he attempted the deconstruction of Hegelian dialectic by turning it against itself and eventually grew distant from the Young Hegelians starting to shit on them.

Shit like this is why Libertarians are not taken seriously and I feel ashamed to call myself a libertarian.

Klaus Schwab from WEF has already warned that a cyber pandemic would be mankind's next challenge, we also had the Cyber Polygon thing going on (for anyone living under a rock: it was a simiulation made on July 9, made by the same that made a simulation predicting a coronavirus pandemic in October 2019 (Event 201), which predicts a great cybernetic attack capable of disabling systems worldwide and take the internet as whole down) and now a little recap of some recent events: 1- Around November-December 2020 all Google services went down 2- Data breach caused by the SolarWinds software Orion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_federal_government_data_breach) 3- The Colonial Pipelines Ransomware attack (among many other ransomware attacks which are becoming more often, I personally see this a way to taint Bitcoin's image even more and push for more regulation or outright prohibition of it) 4-over 30,000 websites went down for a day in June 8 due to some DNS failure 5- Cloudflare announced it contained the largest DDoS ever 6- Yandex DDoS attack Among many other things, such as the weeks-long Texas blackout etc, I see all of this as a prelude for the so called "cyber pandemic" planned by the WEF, they already understood the problem with internet and want to silence and contain it, you think they will end the internet? (people speculate this is bound to happen Winter this year) and for the fags telling this would ruin their own system: they don't care, if you think they wouldn't do this because it would take their current sytem down, you've really been obvlious to all the Great Reset talk going on by the WEF, this is, in my vision, just a step for the so called Great Reset.

so, to me libertarianism has become some sort of religion. Well, maybe not libertarianism per se, but it's clear that God has made the world so that acquisition of material wealth and real growth requires respecting other people property, and that acquiring material wealth makes it easier to know the laws of nature which in turn once known make production of goods better and then we get more wealthy. I can feel God in economics and in liberty.

So, I understand I'm a little late to the party, but all the Big Tech censorship has made me realize that I need to find a bunch of libertarian sites, forums, chans, blogs, and all the other various regular services that's hosted on Zeronet, I2P, Onions, Bitmessage, and Freenet. My plan is this. Sometime back I made a webring that modeled a VT321 console (remember those computers that first replaced the card catalogs?), and some webring directories. I want to make a similar webring only focused on libertarian websites, and to see if there's any way I can mirror current libertarian content on the clearnet before it gets banned by Big Tech. 1 - I can't realistically host this and remirror as much as I can across all the different darkweb platforms currently available. I need to focus on one--maybe two. I was thinking Zeronet given its censorship resistance, ease of use, and how they seem to have a way around getting banned by ICANN what with their own DNS system (namecoin) and not being as resource-hoggish as Freenet, and an Onion website since Tor is pretty much what everyone thinks of when think Deepweb. 2 - I can realistically only mirror a fraction by myself, and given my job, only update it maybe once every three months maybe. Even then, I'd have to choose a handful of libertarian websites. I know mises.org would be a good pick, and I'm guessing they wouldn't mind the remirroring. Is there any way anyone knows of to make this easier to remirror on the technical end? Are there any websites I probably shouldn't remirror because they'd get all Randian "muh copyright" on me? 3 - Any libertarian sites already on some deepweb network that you know of that I should include? This chan has an onion address, so it's going on the list. 4 - Any other tips or thoughts others might have? I'm still unsure if I want to do this, given how shit I am at committing to projects like these.

With all the talk about rounding up Trump supporters, James Damore's career still ruined, etc.--should I pretend I'm a rabid Biden supporter? I mean, I'm not, but if I want to avoid the gulags, that's about what I have to do, right? Should I maybe even send some token amount to the Dem party so the Deep State might ignore me? Will pretending I'm a Trump-hater give me more career success? If so, how the hell do you keep up the lie?
