While the material reality that results from their shitty ideology results in the same shit we see today but with all the bourgeois concessions to the working class stripped from the bourgeois State to maximize the profits of the the ruling class.
Also some nerd did something similar to the sawdust in rice crispies test but with paper towls in spaghetti sauce obviously its not vegan nor is the guy generally a PC streamer, but the wild science tests he does certainly keeps my attention.
I’ve had this conversation several times.
Also the variant that’s like
Them: “the companies will compete”
Me: “what if they decide to form a cartel or whatever instead of competing?”
Them: “that’s illegal”
Me: “says who? How?”
They don’t even need to form a cartel! One company puts sawdust in their rice krispies, another puts arsenic in, another puts the blood of orphans in. You pick the sawdust one. The “free market” has decided sawdust belongs in rice krispies.
But what if another compa - no there’s rat shit in those.
The market choice ideology only works if there’s an infinite variety of products covering every possible combination of traits. And even then, it requires somehow people can find the one they want through all of that (infinite time and information I guess).
Imagine a perfectly spherical consumer moving through the frictionless vacuum of the market…
The irony of libertarianism is that it requires each individual consumer to have more knowledge of consumer products than the government, who for some reason can not have enough information to run the economy. I think they just assume that bad outcomes are fine and it’s trying to get good outcomes that is the sin.
Libertarianism only works if you have a central government that enforces laws. Which means it doesn’t work at all
