Liberty is the noblest of virtues.

Yet how is it realistically achieved?

IF

The greatest threat to Liberty is the State.

IF

Abolishing the State completely is impossible.

THEN

Shrinking the State by whatever by whatever means possible is good.

This can mean lobbying for lower taxes.

This can mean lobbying for local autonomy.

Or it can mean supporting Separatism.

Realistically I think Separatism AKA 'Independence,' has the most promise for the promotion of Liberty.

'Athens' and 'Thebes' are natural allies.

Personally speaking, it is currently not the State that is the greatest threat to my liberty, but my lack of Capital.

Depends, I will go slightly off topic but, the key difference between left and right libertarians, is noticing the main problem in achieving liberty.

The right wants to solely limit the state by any means necessary. Make it as small as possible.

The left believes that the state is a threat, but not nearly as much as private enterprise. This instead of limiting the state, collectivize and split its function.

Industry would be collectivized too.

So it depends on how do you want to achieve your goals. Right wing libs will lover taxes and increase individual autonomy and weaken the state, lefties would increase collective autonomy. Lobbying for local autonomy doesn't reduce the state, what it does is simple, it decentralizes it.

Sounds like you need you some distributionism.

This could probably done through lowering taxes in a sense, if companies were given an incentive to buy capital for their employees, like they get twice the deduction if they buy capital goods worth less than 20K in the name of an employee.

>Abolishing the State completely is impossible.

Erasing the state in it's entire territory may be very difficult, but separatism in a city level is possible, and so is a stateless society. The trick is to do it as many times as needed/wanted.

I am libertarian because I believe humans are inherently terrible though, it's why I don't want to be ruled over by other humans in anything other than voluntary transactions. Humans today are the same as humans 10,000 years ago, the only thing different is the technological advancements.

The problem is that it creates a power vacuum where someone else can just waltz in and create a new state. What we need is a state that's designed to protect individual liberty and be resistant to cooption by authoritarians.

>What we need is a state that's designed to protect individual liberty and be resistant to cooption by authoritarians.

That's exactly what the founding fathers did when creating the U.S.

Sadly, all those principles are gone thanks to cultural marxism, postmodernism and the rise of identity/tribal politics.

>muh power vacuum

Agorists promote private parallel institutions so that the abolition of government is a continuous process with no breakdown in institutions. This prevents a total collapse of order, which always results in a new government restoring said order.

There is also the idea that you can create your community from scratch with people that respect their liberty. This type of society will not suffer a breakdown of this sort.

Decentralizing the State is a great step towards reducing it imo; it's much easier to scale back decentralized power than the power of a government spread across 3.8 million square miles.

I think "apeing" might be a better term. Basically, you're playing second fiddle to /pol/ by using memes they created.

They have no original insults either. I can practically see them look around expectantly whenever they say "not real capitalism".

"It's happening" and Ben Garrison originated on /pol/, happy merchant and A Wyatt Mann originated on /n/ and /new/, which essentially had the same userbase as early /pol/, which spawned permutations thereafter that were co-opted by /leftypol/. A lot of people misattribute happy merchant to /int/, but there was a lot of parallel development. I think it's fine for /leftypol/ to use stuff like Pepe and Spurdo in principle, but they always use it in the same sort of fashion as /pol/, /int/, or /r9k/. It's not like how /tv/ changed Pepe and made him distinct.


 No.69377

This also ignores how /leftypol/ tends to butcher the humor and simplicity in memes.
