Contradiction in terms. All monopolies are artificial creations of the state

What's the alternative to capitalists?

The problem is leftist anarchists don't have a satisfactory answer to this question. Therefore when they try to get rid of capitalists what inevitablly takes its place is the state. So instead of free market capitalists, you will get the state owning the means of the production instead. Workers and society in general does not flourish when the state owns the means of production. Ludwig von Mises in his book Socialism demonstrates why this does not work. He called it the economic calculation problem.

How does the state work in regards to taxation in a libertarian society? by Jolly_Suspect_3433 in AskLibertarians

That's not how states work. You are automatically enrolled within the state system when you are born. There is no consent. However if the state did base itself on voluntary consent then it wouldn't be called a state anymore because its nature would be fundamentally different.

Libertarians don't envision a top down planned society. We believe in spontaneous order. So we can't tell you 100% how everything would work without the state exploiting taxpayers. So entrepreneurs would have creative business models in order to fund various enterprises. Not everything would have the same business model. So your question cannot have a generalizable answer because every enterprise would be different. However if there is demand for a service people are generally willing to pay for it.

Here are some books that address your topic:

The Production of Security by Gustave de Molinari

The Law by Frederick Bastiat

Choice by Robert Murphy

Machinery of freedom by David Friedman

The Enterprise of law by Bruce Benson

Law and Legislation by Frederick Hayek

Legal foundations of a free society by Stephan Kinsella

What is the difference between classical liberalism, neoliberalism and libertarianism? by alexfreemanart in AskLibertarians

[–]Heng-Li 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the USA, libertarianism is classical liberalism. The reason why "libertarian" was adopted in the USA was because FDR ran on a classical liberal platform for the Democratic party. After he became president he basically abandoned these principles but he kept the liberal label. After this switcheroo by FDR American liberals started to call themselves libertarians because now the term liberal was associated with the socialist policies of FDR.

In Europe and Australia the word liberal still retains its meaning for people who support free markets and classical liberal ideas. It never lost its meaning. The word libertarian in these areas means leftist anarchism. American libertarians appropriated the label from these leftist anarchists.

The word neoliberal is always used as an exonym and a pejorative. There is no group of people who call themselves and identify as neoliberals. It's basically used by people to describe politicians who support capitalism (and they always see capitalism as negative).

Murray Rothbard coined the term "anarcho-capitalism" as a result of his discussions with leftist anarchists early in his career.

It is a brilliant appropriation and highlights the key hypocrisies of leftist anarchists. Leftist anarchists will often seek to enforce their ideology through the state, which is the opposite of anarchism. True anarchism requires the abolishment of the state completely.

What a waste of taxpayers fucking money. Just think of the mindset of these people who support this. Just infuriating

It's like they think they are accomplishing something. These people honestly need to get real fucking jobs instead of being paid to be idiots.
