It's so weird that you will only ever see a right-winger truthfully admit that the economy is shit and is going to crash because the person thinks that the Recession is a good thing and the "solution".

That's a great point about anarcho-capitalism. Democratic Socialists (Social Democrats) have an end goal of human happiness and widespread prosperity, while hardcore libertarians have the goal of making the economy work as efficiently as possible aka making all the numbers add up. In my opinion anarcho-capitalism would just lead to massive levels of corruption more than we have now even.

+Paul Judkins - Libertarians want deregulation and 'more free market' to the point of having anarcho-capitalism. It would basically just put our current corrupt oligarchy on steroids and allow corporations to own the government even more than they do now. How's deregulation of Wall Street and Banks going for us now?

+Paul Judkins - The corporations buy government officials in the first place to remove regulations. What the hell do you think they're all lobbying for? Cutting taxes and removing regulations is literally the reason for 99% of all lobbying in Washington. They just gutted Net Neutrality, Dodd-Frank, the repeal of Glass-Steagall lead to the 2008 Recession so banks could gamble with people's money and loan mortgages to the wrong people. They spend all that time lobbying for these things and your answer is to just give them every single they want and fulfill their biggest fantasy? Why don't you look at the history of the USA and every Recession and Great Depression that ever happened. There's a reason why FDR had to clean up the country and economy with government social programs after corporations completely tanked the economy. You think the Great Depression would've been fixed by completely removing government and letting corporations have more free reign than they did before the 1929 Stock Market Crash? You're incredibly naive if that's what you believe.

That makes absolutely no sense. By not having government, you give them exactly what they want. If there is no government, there is no regulation and no taxes and I literally just said that that's the entire reason they lobby in Washington in the first place. You're giving corporations everything they want and damn the consequences of a no-regulations economy and nation, which would be disastrous for the people. Why don't you go ask Dave Rubin how the post office and construction sites would work if there were no regulations or government to give services to the people and ensure buildings were constructed properly. Type in "Joe Rogan podcast Dave Rubin regulations". The subprime mortgage crisis was caused by the greed of big Banks and Wall Street because they wanted to MAKE MONEY. The only reason the government was at fault was because they deregulated Wall Street and Banks to allow them to recklessly gamble with people's money. How the fuck do you not know this? The repeal of Glass-Steagall was one of the biggest reasons for the Recession and that of course is a form of.... DEREGULATION. Other reasons were because of the Bush tax cuts and further deregulation, literally everything you're arguing in favor for caused the 2008 Recession. Also, the fact that you mentioned "Venezuela" basically tells me everything I need to know about this conversation.
