In Brazil, the libertarian Zema was reelected as governor of one of the most important states with an overwhelming majority of vote. He might be getting the support of Bolsonaro to run against Lula in the next presidential election, which would make him the favorite to win. In Argentina, anarcho-capitalist Milei managed to secure seats and alliances during last midterm elections and now has a good chance of winning the presidential elections this year. It is also worth to mention the libertarian movement in Costa Rica and Chile, which have a possibility to be electorally competitive.

[@buddermonger2000]

That's very interesting given I don't think those would be natural movements for Latin America. French, Portuguese, and Spanish speaking worlds kind of tilt left as a given since historically you divided the inherentence equally with your family system. And those family systems can affect the lens the society views the world up until its government. So distributionism I think comes naturally with them. This is compared to say the anglophone states who tend to historically give everything to the eldest son meaning the rest have to make something themselves.

The Czech mentality is imho not really about seeking liberty, but rather ignoring central power. I suppose it has something to do with the nation's history. Part of the Holy Roman empire, Austria-Hungary, then Nazi occupation, Soviet (more or less) occupation... The nation has had to deal with foreign influence over the central power for centuries and learned to just do it's own thing while complying with the central power in a minimalistic way.

Can you explain libertinism pros and cons for a country

[@madtechnocrat9234]

@@marialourainebanosia26 Government can asure free education, free healthcare and often free or semi-free housing - this are often necessary for people to get out of poverty. People who have jobs and houses generaly generate more value for the society and state than homeless jobless hobos. "free" obviously means paid from taxes. As long as this is done correctly it generates more value than it costs, but it requires government that is capable of doing anything. Similar case regarding transport. Every bus or tram can take up to 50 cars out off road, eliminating most traffic jams. It's also cleaner so there is less smoke in the cities and less noise. 1 Bus costs less than 50 cars, requires less parking space and said space can be utilised for example for housing. Obviously in libertarianism state does not provide those things. On the plus side you have no or very little taxes to pay. State also funds police, firefighters, army and other emergence measures. Why should we pay for those things in taxes? Well there is a chance you won't use either of those things, but in case you do you are safe no matter the missfortune that happend to you. If people are not forced to pay for those things, some will turn to private delivered by market options, however many will not pay at all. However if not all people have access to healthcare, diseses spread faster and easier. Anologicly fire is best stopped immidietly and so on. State provides "safty net" that stops people from "drowning". And people who drown have a bad habbit of dragging people with them. On the plus side you pay no taxes. Many liberatrians believe that without state regulation market will provide cheaper alternatives. And everyone will be capable of affording those things thanks to competition. This however is pure speculation and cases exist where the opposite is true.

[@buddermonger2000]

​@Maria Louraine Bañosia The pros are basically pure freedom. The government limits you in a total of 0 ways and you can do basically whatever. The cons are the consequence of that comes exactly as the need to provide for yourself a LOT. There's no-one to help you besides the people you find and know. It's very much a "sink or swim" system with the government having very little role usually just for outside endeavors and international relations. If you want the government to do things for you, this is not the movement. If you feel like you're getting taxed too much and get no benefit, this is the system. Btw if you want to get extra context for the state of the other response above me, see what I've written after this.

[@buddermonger2000]

​​@@madtechnocrat9234 The government cannot actually assure any of these things and these are all VERY modern inventions that people have gone very long without. This is basically just leftist defense. Not to mention that what you have stated aligns much more closely with that of anarchists and not libertarians in a wider view. The greatest part is "a lot less government" but how much less is up for debate. Minarchists are a subset who believe in a minimal structure such as for international relations and an army. These things aren't all really agreed upon. However, the safety net of the government is very much a modern thing which was never necessary because your community would provide for you. Without any community these are very important but the amount of atomization required for that to occur is basically a society which has already rotted from within. Your local community, all from its own pocket, can give you a place to stay, give you food, get a teacher for your children (or even start its own school), take on fires in a volunteer capacity, and defend themselves from people who want to hurt them. It is also worth noting that Homelessness is not actually caused by having no home but instead the lack of any social connection which will keep people off the streets and it's why most homeless people are men because they're the ones who have on average the least social connection and nothing like women's shelters to try to get away from certain issues. The government is not needed for any of these things and in real terms there is no contradiction between libertarianism and even small scale socialism where you have direct representative power within your own community to do one thing or another with your own collective money effectively making very local governments without the name as an alternative to the current national or even state government model with devolved powers having many of the benefits with almost none of the downsides. The current appeal of libertarianism is created by the lack of any consensus within the USA where bureaucrats and reps from Florida and California vote on policies which affect you in Miami, Ohio and this analogy can be taken to basically any country of sufficient scale. The free market provides via the presence of demand and so long as demand exists it will provide with many of the services discussed already existing within even American society alongside government services. Hell the US postal service isn't even the go-to sender for packages. So an absence of government services for many of these would not be felt as strongly as you imply. Especially with things such as private schools given that India manages incredibly cheap private schools specifically because their public schools are so woefully inefficient such demand exists. In the US and Europe such demand does not exist because the public schools are sufficient for the bottom rung of society currently and thus why private schools enjoy their current prestige. Imagine what would happen if the government provided everyone universally with the equivalent of an iPhone 4. Suddenly phone prices would skyrocket as everyone no longer really "needs" a phone having been provided with a basic one and better ones being for prestige or specialized advantages. Another example of this is actually public transport as you described it earlier. The government didn't originally provide these and streetcar services were private affairs which took up the road before the mass adoption of the automobile. It was effectively a bus and did the same job. Trains were also (and I believe still primarily run) by private companies who took people cross country. However what displaced them was the interstate highway system and planes (also public transport) which can do the job faster than almost any train until the modern day with HSR (which also have immense start up and many maintenance costs making high traffic a necessity to keep them running and it's why Japan manages a private system due to their population density clustered in large pockets across mountainous terrain). As far as I can see it the USA is unlikely to submit to the bus and local train, but what it is likely to submit to is the E-bike as battery technology advances which will for the most part solve the problem while still fitting within the American culture. Anyway, clearly your technocratic (disgusting autocratic) tendencies are showing as you have embodied within your name. Frankly you need a bit more history and more understanding of the role of government for effective utility as if you try to rely on it for everything your society will eventually fall under the weight of its own government without the pillars to support it. I hope this has given you food for thought.

[@madtechnocrat9234]

​@@buddermonger2000 Im pretty sure that in my country government ensures free education and free healthcare. Yes, those systems do not work perfectly, they have many real issues, but so does my entire country. Neighbouring country of Germany does it in a different way more capitalist centered as it outsources healthcare it to private companies while still making it free for it's citizens, meanwhile 1 country further - France does it by more government centered way. In both cases they do it better than we, yet in all 3 healthcare is "free" and it costs way less in taxes per person than what ever is going in america costs per person. Communities are dead. No way around it, but majority of people do not live in comunities any more. How do you want exactly to change that? force everyone into going to church? polygamy? add campaigns promoting return to hunter-gatherer lifestyle? Ensigning everyone into masonry? Im pretty sure that homelessness is 100% caused by having no home. I would even say more... that it literaly means having no home. Sweeden managed to deal with homelessness quite well with so called housing first policy. Making people live in house first before any other benefits. It's probably much harder to find a job when you live on a street i guess. However it seems that access to public communication routes helps even more as it increases the amount of places when you can even find a job. "The current appeal of libertarianism is created by the lack of any consensus within the USA where bureaucrats and reps from Florida and California vote on policies which affect you in Miami, Ohio and this analogy can be taken to basically any country of sufficient scale." Seems like a voting system issue. Maybe you guys should change the voting system? Everything is situational and condition dependant. If india manages to do private schools cheaply thats good for them, but i don't think that would work well in my country. Finland being much closer to my country and having a common history and being closer culturaly than india with us have radicly different aproach and have probably the best education system in the world. (Cheers to all Finns for defeating russians). "Another example of this is actually public transport as you described it earlier. The government didn't originally provide these ... fitting within the American culture". That would certainly explain why america has legendarly bad public transportation system. "Imagine what would happen if the government provided everyone universally with the equivalent of an iPhone 4" While we are at it, i wanted to share my greatest gratitude towards the european union for standardizing the phone chargeres. Allowing us to use the same charger standard instead of having a new charger every phone model despite apple rants against it. Libertarians not anarchists in question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpTPnXhtm91rY6s&ab_channel=Dankocratic honestly i have much more respect for anarchists than libertarians.

[@sheepbeeps3369]

@@thefrenchareharlequins2743 It seems you want to get in to some weird libertarian debate with me. But no, this isn't theoretical. This is simply what happened. Let me explain, and I'll remind you, this isn't some hypothetical human nature theoritical scenario. This is just what happened. NH already delegates a great deal of power to towns and cities, this includes in their services, and weather or not to have them. The members of the Free State Project who took over the town government by moving there in numbers to tip the voting scales, because groveton has only 1200 residents. Well okay it has about 900 now. But still. The FSP folks cut both the taxes, and the town services, down to near zero. As a result the only roads that were plowed were those the state plows. That being main street through town. Otherwise it was every man for himself, and very few of the new residents volunteered to drive around at 2am scraping all of the back roads clean of snow. The result, of course, is that the roads were largely impassable except for those with winter equipped trucks, of those that crashed, they had the option of calling a repair shop the next town over to pull them out of the ditch. As the town of Groveton no longer had emergency services such as a fire station or police. So many poorer residents were simply unable to do anything, and the cars were just left in ditches. Then there were the bears. As there were no longer any local ordinances, no curbside trash pickup, and the new residents couldn't give a damn what fish and game advised them to do. Inevitably trash began to pile up, be it in sheds, lawns, or just thrown in ditches. Which the bears emerging from hibernation found very attractive. If you've ever dealt with a black bear. You know they are not to be trifled with, and give no fucks about human idology or debate. This is not a video game. Shooting a bear that has lost it's fear of humans generally just enrages it, or drives it off, and it'll be back in an hour or two. So you'll be forced to expend a lot of lead putting that critter into the ground. This however wasn't one or two bears behaving badly. It was a downright plague of the fuckers. This of course doesn't go into the other behaviors of the FSP residents. Like not repairing the roads, which require repairs every spring due to the frost heaves. Which in turn created roads that became infamous for causing flat tires and cracked axels. Or the rate of drug use, the black market that erupted, and the violence that followed the narcotics trade. To the rural residents of northern NH, vermont, and Maine it's largely remembered as a bunch of outsiders coming in, imposing their ideology on a town that was sympathetic, and driving it straight in to the ground.

[@thefrenchareharlequins2743]

@@sheepbeeps3369 I will admit that they should not have cut down government services in the way they did. However, as far as I know they could use their voting influence only to affect budget issues as opposed to privatising state services. I am very well aware that black bears are dangerous wild animals. Bear activity went up in general in the management region which Grafton is a part of, and it didn't help when residents of Grafton went to fish and game for help in managing the bears only to be reminded that it is illegal for them to be hunted without a permit.

While I don't believe Libertarianism has quite enough pull to truly take over the government, what I do think it has is enough pull to influence the politics of America's right wing party enough to make it a significant generator of its future platforms. Like a lot of very successful third parties, their platforms tend to get co-opted by the larger parties. So I think they'll become part of the ruling coalition along with the Christians who mesh well as a retarding force on the worst excesses of the libertarian movement. I think it's similar to the synthesis of the radical leftists and corporate business in that regard, but one that's much more stable over the long term.

[@Mzee1084]

The Koch machine has mostly taken over the US government through taking over the Republican Party. I don't know if I would call them true libertarians, but the majority of the libertarian movement is aligned with them, certainly anyone who supports the Republican Party. This is where all the big money is going since the 1970s in particular.

I don't think Libertarianism is uniquely american. Similar thoughts sprout all around the post-USSR Europe, as people viewed extensive state as their opressor and often equated capitalism to freedom and valued both. I'm not aware if anyone's advocated for the complete abolishment of the state, but there were a lot of supporters of minarchism in the 90s.

@@terrorbilly3367 Frankly, even today, New Brunswick is a pretty backwater province dictated in the maritime economy, Acadian politics at that specific period was between two jurisdictions that were on one side supported by a British and local indigenous peoples, and another administration supported by the Catholic Church. It was not for individual freedoms, (the stateless Acadia was a myth), but rather a quarrel over two governors with differing religious views, with the King of France making some serious miscalculations when splitting power between the two in the colony. However, people still paid taxes to these jurisdictions but bureaucracy was stifled due to this obvious bureaucratic failure, perhaps those who went on their own did so for a period of 15 years due to a such a period of anarchy in war,
