Any other centrist atheists?
#65
RE: Any other centrist atheists?
Again, we're not talking about entirely eliminating government, I repeat: libertarianism =/= anarcho-capitalism. Please, this is bordering on straw manning (if intentional) or simple a gross misunderstanding of what libertarians are advocating for:

Quote: That doesn't work. What stops corporations cutting costs beyond what is morally acceptable? A: Laws as enforced by government. You'd have to replace government with something similar. Profit is everything in capitalism, it doesn't care at all about fairness, and has to have that forced upon it. This had been clearly demonstrated to be fact with recent events.

Bay of Mexico & BP. BP cut corners on safety and jeopardized a massive ecosystem, and paid the price. Without a funded body to enquire into the wrongdoing and bring them to book, they (businesses) would operate as their financial gain would dictate.

The rule under libertarianism: You fuck up or intentionally mess with somebody else's property (like say with a huge oil spill), you're liable. And none of this capped liability nonsense either (corporate welfare). You're property rights are still protected (yes, by guberment), contracts are still enforced (yes by guberment), fraud is illegal, aggression against other people or their property is illegal...

amendment to last post: no restricting competitors with laws/regulations*
Nemo me impune lacessit.
