Mellow's Last Stand

deprave said:

Social anarchist and any lefty ignores that fact that there can not be monopolies in a free market, that governments are monopolies, and that they can have social anarchy in an anarcho capitalist society (its called a business plan). They are blind to the fact that we don't have a free market now so of course the private sector sucks balls and is corrupt as all hell in the world as it is today.

Or you are blinded to the fact there has yet to be a truly free market and that anarchists don't believe in government ? you lost me but it is chill we don't force anyone's participation as that would only bring unnecessary friction.

eh yeah I mean leftys, ofcourse I am not blinded to that fact, its difficult to support free market philosophies without coming to that realization for the reason you stated.

Just as an example someone might say "The hospital was so awesome it saved my life even though I was poor and the care was excellent. If I had private insurance I would of payed double and got relatively the same care, isn't gobment so awesome and caring? government loves me yes I know! For the TV tells me so!" so being the one who was saved and comparing the cost of private insurance which you cannot afford cause you are poor you might surmise that if it wasn't for this system you would of been left for dead!

well if it was a free market and a voluntary based society without a government then we don't know how it would be different and many people won't even think that deeply of it because with that thought it is done. In a free market health insurance cost would be competitive, I would get my insurance from the same company that I get my life insurance so that it would be in their interest to keep me alive. In a free market I suspect it wouldn't cost 20,000$ for an ambulance ride, $10,000 a night for a hospital bed, and 200$ for a bottle of pills. The other realization you must come to is that in a truly free market coercive and harmful monopolies can not exist, its an impossibility. Left Liberal, Social Anarchist, etc realize that the CONSUMER is what drives the economy which is ironically a very key point in realizing that a harmful monopoly can not exist in the free market (that means a truly free market and a requirement is without gobment) .
