Authoritarianism does not want free markets.

“In truth, in the case of individuals, their actual voting is not to be taken as proof of consent, even for the time being. On the contrary, it is to be considered that, without his consent having ever been asked, a man finds himself environed by a government that he cannot resist; a government that forces him to pay money, render service, and forego the exercise of many of his natural rights, under peril of weighty punishments. He sees, too, that other men practise this tyranny over him by the use of the ballot. He sees further that, if he will but use the ballot himself, he has some chance of relieving himself from this tyranny of others, by subjecting them to his own. In short, he finds himself, without his consent, so situated that, if he use the ballot, he may become a master; if he does not use it, he must become a slave. And he has no other alternative than these two. In self-defence, he attempts the former. His case is analogous to that of a man who has been forced into battle, where he must either kill others, or be killed himself. Because, to save his own life in battle, a man attempts to take the lives of his opponents, it is not to be inferred that the battle is one of his own choosing. Neither in contests with the ballot -- which is a mere substitute for a bullet -- because, as his only chance of self-preservation, a man uses a ballot, is it to be inferred that the contest is one into which he voluntarily entered; that he voluntarily set up all his own natural rights, as a stake against those of others, to be lost or won by the mere power of numbers. On the contrary, it is to be considered that, in an exigency, into which he had been forced by others, and in which no other means of self-defence offered, he, as a matter of necessity, used the only one that was left to him.”

I am not sure how so many people are convinced that the government is really there to help them, and do not understand that these so called "workers rights" actually make things worse.

If you are.

How does it affect your liberty? How does it affect their liberty? I'm not asking about anything hypothetical after the fact, i'm asking about that specific issue.

So, I myself am not an anarcho-capitalist and just wanted to ask, why you are, or not, an anarcho-capitalist.

well, the i was anarchocapitalist and mi girlfriend think that the communism can work… so having discussions i think that im beacoming in anarchcomunist(? we are from argentina and is so disgusting see Javier milei sucks american and israeli dickies.
i believe in the rothbard, mises and etc ideas but at this point i don’t know what believe, lately i believe that usa is a failed state for the capitalism and used it to have more control, and they impulse companies as palantir to take all the control to the citizens and our privacy.

When Pedro Sanchez entered office, housing was the 18th biggest concern of Spaniards. Now its the 1st concern.

Thousands of new immigrants arrive every week, yet there are barely any houses being built due to stringent regulations, bureaucratic stonewalling, and rigid zoning laws (95% of Spanish land is illegal to build on). This lack of supply has made the rental market extremely tense and driven house prices exceptionally high. The foreign-born population, now make up half of all tenants in Spain.

Has anyone seen the movie Digger?
I’m curious what this community thinks of it. Seems to be an extreme version of everything climate and energy-related but I would love to hear opinions about it.

Thoughts?
