I don’t think we need to change what works, just the holes in the boat
IP is abused by Disney and patent lawyers ... there must be a solution to those two problems ... perhaps stop giving corporation human rights (like IP) could be one, or the state stop funding litigation (court costs for frivolous lawsuits)
Central banking is a tough one ... it’s been tried before, the Jeffersonian balanced budget surplus fueled the Jacksonian spending spree and the Reagan Clinton surplus fueled the Bush Obama wars. Maybe the state should be constantly broke ... and begging for money. As for money supply ... competing currency have been tried before and have always been a problem with speculation ... but then again what isn’t ?
The Victorian age in America was unparalleled in its freedom... and moral rectitude... decried by liberals as hypocrite and celebrated by conservatives as exemplary ... it was also the time of economic growth, population expansion and industrialization.
Most people are libertarians ... they just don’t like the name because they think it means licensure and vice ...
I would argue you aren't libertarian and are something else. You have a romanticized version of what libertarians are. In my experience, libertarians can in fact be described as people who believe objective morality is repressive of freedom.so most libertarians strive for subjective morality in which anyone can do anything and government enforces nothing when it comes to morality.
If that's not you, I don't think you're a libertarian. You sound more like a Christian Conservative/Liberal or just conservative, period. Regardless the labels are pretty unimportant anyway I'd say.
Yeah ... no that is the cartoon of libertarianism pushed by conservatives (libertarians are just libertine conservatives)
Subjective morality ... that’s the very definition of progressivism ... Derrida couldn’t said better
Conservatives and libertarians (think Jefferson) both want a Christian nation ... however the split is on what should be left to the individual and what to the state
A good example is prostitution ... laws against it have never eliminated it ... in fact it might make it worst ... libertarians will say, if you want morality then you have to fight the temptation as a individual ... while the conservative says you have to fight temptation as a state ...
Libertarians acknowledge free will as the most important bulwark against sin
Conservative acknowledge that even free will needs a booster by a busybody state
It’s easier to fix than to construct
