@MartinMartin-bh4ke No libertarian stands for do as you wish without hurting or intruding onto others. You can do as you wish as long as that doesn't come in conflict with someone else, hurt someone else(in any meaningful way) and you don't enforce your views, laws, religion and so on, onto others. And politically it means that the government has so little power over people(but not companies), that even if you try to lobby and corrupt it, the government doesn't have the power to actually screw over people. But the government would keep a strict leash on companies, because companies would be protected by the government, so the government must have many policies, restrictions and laws that the companies must abide by. And of course the government should maintain political relationships with other countries, an army and essential infrastructure like roads, water and electricity.

The same job position/title, or do you have metrics you had the same productivity and work hours as them? Meritocracy is what truly matters, not job titles/positions, the later are just formalities.

Because socialism can only work with a strong, powerful government and thus they make the government more and more powerful. The more powerful the government is, the more corrupt it can be, and if something can go wrong it will, that's why there are laws.

@zonger5537 You assume the ideals are realistic, but by the very definition of the word ideal, they are not. My country was first Socialist, then Communist and now a Social Democracy and I'm telling you, neither of those even came within the same realm of their ideals. Also the governments main control and restrictions should be over big businesses, not the people/public. Since companies rely on government laws, that means that the government should have heavy restrictions and laws so that companies treat and compensate their workers well and the higher-ups should be paid proportionally to what their core essential worker is paid. Plus there should be no government backed stock market or any stock market at all. Right now we have fascist economies, the governments and the companies work together for their own benefits, while screwing over the masses.

You shouldn't support someone or something just because it aligns with just one of your values.

All the problems in capitalism come from powerful governments supporting and bailing out big companies, while making laws to prevent new micro and small businesses from having a chance. Also loans, loans shouldn't exist.

The education system wastes 12-20 years of people's lives, their youth and produces weak, stupid useless people. That goes doubly so for STEM(ask me how I know). If kids were specialized in one engineering field, or one trade, or law, or commerce starting from the age of 10-12, through private courses and Self-education, by the time they are 16-20 years old, they'd be highly skilled and knowledgeable experts. They would be able to work in their field on a medium level, even if they start at an entry level one. Instead they come out of universities and they can't do anything(if they solely relied on the education system). They have to desperately submit their CVs to 1000 companies, hoping one would hire them and then start actually learning for the first time in their lives. I have almost two-dozen friends, acquaintances and people I know that didn't go to university, or even before finishing high-school, got engineering jobs paying 3-7x the average salary by the age of 22-23. How? They skipped school as much as possible without getting evicted, while going to private courses and self-educating. And they aren't the exception for a random reason, they are the exception, because they didn't follow the system. My best friend got a software engineering job after 10th grade(before finishing high school), two more friends got a network engineer job after 1tth grade, another one got a system admin job after 10th grade, two more friends got software engineering jobs straight out of highschool. Another friend got an automotive engineering job 1 year after graduation as he needed to get integrated in Germany. And the list goes on. What those people have in common is that their parents started specializing them in their fields through private courses and self-education at the age of 8-12 instead of rotting away in school and the second is that by the age of 22-24 they were earning 3-7x the average salary...

@FilmFlam-8008 I've been aware of the dangers of the boiler overheating and blowing up since I was a little child... -_- Quite literally before I even started school. Same with the radiators. I've know about short circuiting, avoiding exposed wires, etc, etc as well from even younger. Like come on dude. Some government is needed. They need to maintain the infrastructure, pay for healthcare and make a proper education system and pay for it, deal with foreign affairs and the military. The end. They should keep out of people's lives. And people should have as much freedom as possible.

What would be the difference?

One word gypsies, check how they did in the USSR, I can tell you, not well... I love how people that weren't regular citizens of the USSR or even lived in the USSR defend it... It was a hell hole only better than the worst African countries. Many African countries were better than living in the USSR. And I'm not defending capitalism here, it sucks too, because just like communism, capitalism hasn't ever existed in its idealistic form thanks to governments being too powerful and working with companies to screw over the masses.

@zonger5537 What you want to be true can NOT be true, that's why it's called an ideal. It can only work in a perfect world. You are eliminating the human factor from the equation, people's psychology doesn't work like that and people would not allow for that to happen, that's why the eastern european regimes failed and were never what they were supposed to be. Also Horizontal power structures suck, I'm not going to be rewarded the same if I do 10x better job than someone else. Big Companies would naturally die out, due to their management stupidity if the government didn't save them every time they had a mishap. Quite literally right now every billion-dollar company would have died multiple times over the course of the decades they've been alive if the governments didn't bail them out. The most recent example being Intel, AMD and all chip giants getting hundreds of billions of dollars and euro from the USA, Canada and the EU, I think it was this year, or last year. Also the reason why there are only US 3 car companies left in the USA is because they were the only ones getting bailouts every time there was a financial crisis in the USA... the list goes on. Not a single monopoly has been created without the help of a government(or multiple governments). And all the regulations are in favor of big businesses, while they make it impossible to start your own business. Every time the government make a fee for big businesses, they are making it for all businesses, not just big ones and that kills micro and small business who can't afford it and destroy the chance of people starting their own business, because they have to go through a ton of legal crap and a ton of fees and certifications and all that none-sense.

@justjoking5841 No what he means is private property exists, and the rich(which are usually in charge of large companies/corporations) work with the government to benefit themselves and the government and to oppress the masses. And it has been happening since at least 150 years.
