<save Germany from a depression

Half-true. Weimar was a complete shithole and the Reich was less of a shithole. But the measures they took to build-up the Reich weren't sustainable, and the beginnings of collapse were beginning to show in the last half of the war as inflation rates started to go up. If Allied bombs hadn't done the jobs first, the Reich economy would have severely collapsed.

The rest of your points are mostly on-point, but you missed that the krauts didn't just take on loans to pay off debt, they printed money and played an inflationary shell game with multiple currencies to try and hide how much money they'd printed.

When Hitler took power a recovery was already underway and unemployment was decreasing. A restoration of normality could have happened under any government.

Oh hey, this thread is still around. I was about to respond to

Beat me to it again with a much "better" thought-out response along very similar lines.

what board do you think you are on.

This will be mandatory in my private community.

Will they be shaken a bit so they cannot comprehend their situation?

You know excess testosterone in the body just gets turned into estrogen, right?

The content of the post already suggests he(she?) knows nothing about this.

Depends entirely on how much healthcare/bad choices are subsidized by the state, but I'll give you that one in the context of a free market.

>You know, I'm getting rather annoyed with the "Hoppe is a Nahtzee" shpiel of leftists and mainstream-style libertarians. However, I think it can mostly be attributed to the whole "physical removal of leftists and gays" thing.

Somewhat, OP - but his "degenerate art" rants were flat-out copypasta'd, so….

>>104032

No argument huh? Better luck next time I guess.

>>104034

I'm talking about poor whites

>>104035

Obviously

Art is subjective. I do power electronics and listen to loads of different music. It's not even up for argument. If libertarians were consistent, you don't like feminist trash art? Don't buy it, don't watch, don't give it clicks or money. Freedom of choice.

>>104087

>Art is subjective

Art quality is very much objective and measured against objective standards. Only enjoyment of it is subjective.

>If libertarians were consistent, you don't like feminist trash art? Don't buy it, don't watch, don't give it clicks or money. Freedom of choice.

Point to where a libertarian said he wanted to ban "feminist trash art."

He is an anglokike. Anglos are hated by everyone, even by themselves.

The picture is funny because Hitler was a completely delusional teaboo who never understood geopolitics.

>>103946

Georgism and Distributism don't exist. It's just socialist astroturfing. I know all of one IRL honest-to-god Georgist, and he even agrees that every single time he hears people discussing Georgism they turn out to be god damn commies.

>>103947

How can you prove that?

>>103968

Yeah, giving props to her by proving Ancap right

It was a criticism and not a refutation:

It's actually more of an in-joke. We have Cockshott threads with usually the same videos and same arguments so many times here.

Or, to use a more contemporary example: anime is the direct result of Japs being influenced by American Disney cartoons post-WWII. The stylistic connection between the two is obvious. Yet no one will say that anime is American, or that it's not Japanese.

>>101810

>Why is it that Americans never really developed a unique culture

What is Blue Grass, Blues, and Funk music culture? Blue-jean wearing panhandlers? Cajun culture?

>>103954

Americans don't have A culture.

They have a lot of them.

>>103944

I have a hard time pointing to a Japanese figure whose art, prose, poetry, politics, inventions, etc. did not draw mainly on Chinese heritage.

You're never going to not be polarize in a mass democracy. The more power the state has the more inevitable polarization becomes, as the federal government becomes that much more bigger a prize to win.

>Absolute capitalism with no regulations just leads to monopolies and less freedom

That's objectively wrong, but this isn't the thread to have that argument. Most of the catalog is filled with elaborations as to why it's wrong.

>State run companies within the free market

That's what we have now and it's a shithole.

>and a choice on what you pay your taxes towards, therefore allowing the people to control the budget.

First, it's wishful thinking to believe that "the people" ever have power in a democracy. They are vote and tax cattle, and the incentives of democracy are such that this is all they will ever be. Second, if you really want "the people" to choose how they spend their money, you'd take out the coercive and highly inefficient middleman of the state and allow them to spend their own money directly. You can know, by choosing what products to buy and what not to buy. If you don't believe they're capable of doing it this, then you don't actually want "the people" to have control over the their own lives. If you don't actually value "the people" spending their own money how they see fit, then the whole premise behind allowing them to decide on line items in the budget is rendered irrelevant.

>>103908

>First, it's wishful thinking to believe that "the people" ever have power in a democracy.

You make a good point, I'mma go sit in the corner and think for a bit.

>>103908

>that much more bigger

My apologies for typing like a retard.

That was exactly the idea. IRS insurance would be so lucrative and powerful. Plus DEA and ATF insurance. Plus, since it's peer-funded, it's basically an investment account outside of the government's reach. It could form a financial backbone fit a whole new services market. Provide ways for insurers to hire liability limitation professionals, and eventually people can hire private security forces to protect themselves from the state, though that won't come for a while.

>>103822

>The lesson I take from this is to never be so arrogant as to think you can be the one to handle power. Power corrupts all.

I take it as those who seek power tend to be already be corrupt rather than those who take power become corrupt.

>>103907

>a phd in anarcho capitalism

Is that real?

>>103909

If it is that's just retarded and self-defeating.

>>103909

Figure of speech.

>>103904

The sad part is in the trades there's plenty of normalfags who hold fringe political beliefs, but getting them to talk about them is a whole different ballgame. And when your opinions are more fringe than them, basically as you said.

>>103934

You could partially circumvent this by finding online communities centered around locales. I don't know to what degree this is possible with Austrian Econ and liberty, but it works very well in the firearm community. Almost every state has a message board dedicated to firearm owners residing in that state. Ancap might be a bit too fringe for this, but I'm not sure.
