Austrian economics and political corollary (anarcho-capitalism) changed my life.

I hope I never have cause to go back to being a scumsucking "c*nservative". Now I get to have principles, understand economics, and have a theory of political economy with ACTUAL explanatory power.

Keynesians, suck-dems, Fascists, Commies go home, /biz/ is a libertarian board.

Posting pic related for other's anons' edification.

I would personally also recommend 'For A New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto". Read it right after 'Anatomy of the State'. It was written in the 70s but may as well have been written yesterday. It explains basically everything that's crushing the West in lucid prose and unrelenting logical consistency.

That being said, even if there had never been any free markets, that would still be no reason to not strive for them. A free market is nothing more than a market in which there is no coercion. Not exactly a big ask. The rarity of the free market phenomenon is not expression of its practicability or virtue, but rather an expression of the greed and power of the State.

It got me into bitcoin earlier than most, so yes I'm doing well from that. Sometimes I almost feel bad for people who got into "crypto" from the starting point of being a normie (non austrian econ libertarian), because they had no prior frame of reference for appreciating the invention of bitcoin and it kinda shows in their nihilistic attitudes. Their starting point is that of a desperate gambler I guess. I got to profit and appreciate what sort of grand experiment was going on from the beginning. If I want to discuss bitcoin with someone in person, I can speak sincerely about it as opposed to just being another nihilistic chucklefuck thinking of how I might dump my bags onto someone less clever in their timing.

>real free markets have never been tried

Economic purity is impossible. There is absolutely no way to avoid coercion in the market, just like their are no way to avoid inequalities.

Your volunteerist society is no match for any kind of organized """""statist""""" society. You'll be crushed. Conflict resolution within your society is also untenable. It's simply not doable.

Just accept the nature of the state. It's better to have control of it then pretend you can do away with it. Currently corporations and the "right wing" loves Jews and white genocide. It's a giant mess that isn't fixed by arguing over the market.

So the greatest argument for creating a parasitic ruling class which can't ever be held accountable because it has the right to arbitrate in its own favor, is that one might be made anyways... I think you're just regurgitating slogans though and were never curious enough to have evaluated the ideas honestly . So count me out of the task of spoon feeding and answering all the usual programmed objections. Poltards don't even have much of a political corpus so if I grilled you on political questions that are not about race, you would just be spewing old naive boomer notions without any self-awareness that that is what you're doing.

YOU don't have any fucking control by the way, so at least use language which reflects that. Stop fucking projecting yourself as being apart of the state now or in an imaginary future where poltard ideology gets its chance to be tried (and predictably ends up like all ill-conceived statist sludge ideology does).

Ancom is inherently contradictory though. Everything about communism and socialism necessitates a ruling state, which is the worst sort of inequality and makes all manner of other evils possible. You can look up actual economics books on mises.org for free and they all rip apart marxist ideas to shreds. Most communists don't even know the austrian school of economics exists though, and they define capitalism so poorly its basically just "whatever the US government and corporations are doing together at the present time". Guess what ancoms have waaayyyy more in common with the ideology of the average government employee than any libertarian does. That's why the deepstate doesn't ever seem concerned about antifa at all.

I could say the same thing about ancaps. Ancaps want privatized police forces. Privatized prisons. Etc.

Ancom is the only real anarchism. I hate the government the idea that I have a lot in common with a govt employee is outrageous

You posted a lot of cope without refuting a goddamn thing. I use to be an ancap btw.

Yes, you should expect any power vacuum to be promptly filled. Evidenced by literally every time there has been one. My goals of realigning the state to my aims is more realistic than politely asking it to go away. Stop being such a pompous faggot. Thinking you're enlightened on politics. Go ahead and ask your political questions, unless you're a coward.

Major corporations support marriage. They think that queers should marry each other. I think marriage is a sickly institution.

What a novel idea. I guess they'll all go away if we ask them nicely? To the extent that they don't go peacefully I reckon we'll need to organize some kind of revolution that will just dissolve afterwards? All conflict is over and we live happily ever after? Surely after we violently remove the government we'll all be equal, there won't be any disputes over who gets what, surely.

It's the only picture I have that is even tangentially related.
I'm not interested in the sense that I'm likely to adopt it, I'm interested in that I want to know what the fuck you're talking about when you say it.

Understand economics, understand the world
I don't believe in normative economics. Leave that to the political types. The job of the economist is to tell you what is, not what ought to be.
As a sidenote it is financially very useful.
