Libertarians are NOT about rich corporations

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-21 19:38 ID:ziU8y+3K

Libertarians are mostly about small businesses. We want the government out of business affairs so that it's easier for small businesses to flourish.

Lefties always argue that "libertarians only care about the big corporations. without the government restricting them, they will monopolize and rule the world.". In fact it's the opposite. The big corporations love these restrictions because they are making it really hard for small businesses to even get off the ground, let alone compete with them.

Basically, libertarians want to make it easier for people to start their own businesses, and have less people relying on corporations for their salaries. More businesses means more competion, and a less crowded job market which makes it a lot harder companies to overwork and underpay their employees.

There are different concepts of monopoly as well, political and economic ones as well.

It's not just force -- it's RETALITORY force. Meaning, if someone robs your house while you are away you go to the cops and have him arrested and tried in a court of laws.

The state acts in your self-defense; you don't hunt the guy down and ruthlessly slaughter him and rape his mother.

That's how it works in a free society. Well, for right now we can say semi-free society because no society on earth is 100% right now. America is a good example of this. Your rights are violated by the government, but not as much to mark it as a dictatorship etc etc.

Now if someone robs your house while you are there and that person is putting your life in danger, you have a right to act in your self-defense and end that person as a threat, because in that case, the government can't be there to act in your behalf. It would be irrational to assume the police can magically pop up every time your in trouble. If your life is in danger and you know there is not enough of a chance to get help right then and there, then it's perfectly moral to end the threat to your life.

I'm saying this because I know someone is going to bring up the whole "If only police can act for you, what if you’re getting attacked?"
