libertarian labour

seem about right?

You misspelled labor. Want me to edit it?

Oh, and thanks for reminding me that I need to tell Littleflow to go bottle feed her calf this morning. Work ethic has to be instilled us know.

Garamet has trained him well........

Good joke!


They'd all try to be chief, no one would want to be a brave, and everyone would be dead in 5 hours, tops.

I'm no libertarian but come on.....

That's stupid shit I expect from Garamet and her ghoul Spaceturkey.

D you've been around long enough to hear enough libertarian stuff to know that's not true.

Oh, I've heard plenty.

Na, I speak english, not american. The spelling is fine.

But lets face it... All we hear from the "libertarians" around here is about the right to exploit the shit out of labour to the point of sub sustenance wages and how industry standards hurt industry.

Oh boy.......

Garamet sent forth her winged monkey ghoul......

This should be a fun thread.

Libertarians want to exploit the shit out of labour to the point of sub sustenance wages and how industry standards hurt industry?

I thought that line of thought was the sole province of those evil meanie NeoCons.......

Those factories still exist elsewhere, run by the same corporations, lest anyone try to pretend that they would voluntarily impose standards on themselves.

We can play this game all day.

Quoted for emphasis.

And now go ahead and tell us how the second amendment prevented that from happening.

Not until you tell me more about what Libertarians dream about.

I didn't say anything about Libertarian dreams. But you posted a picture that said gun control was bad because it leads to stuff that happened without gun control.

so, privatized prisons where food and medical services are contracted out?
yup, sounds liberal and libertarian to me!

which i suppose brings up the next bunch of stuff... why do American Libertarians seem to align so naturally to the far right?

Here's a nifty essay someoen else wrote

Instead of what non-libertarians say about what they think libertarians think, let's see what libertarians are actually talking about according to some of the most recent things in my libertarian-oriented feeds:
- banning relatively harmless electronic cigarettes that help people quit smoking harmful tobacco products is stupid
- capitalism has helped to lift astounding numbers of people out of poverty in the last century more than anything else
- NSA domestic spying is government overreach and bad
- arbitrary bans on selling meat and dairy at fund raisers with no evidence that they are causing food-borne illnesses (and in spite of the fact that a lot of food-borne illness comes from stuff like raw spinach) is stupid
- trying to make/keep the US as the world's police is a bad idea
- the drug war has made police a greater threat to the general public than have drug dealers
- banning people from feeding the homeless in public is stupid
- Obamacare is making life difficult for small business owners and their employees
- Obama has pardoned more turkeys than nonviolent human beings
- the US has a terribly outdated air traffic control system
etc etc etc

But nooooooo, what libertarians are really all about is child labor! At least to people with fingers stuck in their ears and who are more enamored of their own straw men than reality.

Because you started this thread with a retarded supposition, anything you say about you think libertarians want is invalid.

meh-it was a splashy image illustrating the extreme end of a lack of labour laws that seemed relevant to the presentation of capitalism by certain of our libertarian identifiers.

gotcha... you don't want to actually examine the concept beyond your own misinterpretations of it.

Ayn Rand's snatch on your face while she lustily gasp-whispers "the gold standard is back".

You started this thread with a photograph of a kid in a factory with a quote that claims that Libertarians want kids to work in factories. You then said nothing else following that. I then posted pictures of my own that represent liberal views. If you really wanted to debate a subject, you wouldn't have started the thread the way you did. Because you started the thread the way you did, I'm not inclined to take you serious and I think you are a dipshit. If you actually want to have a real debate, then by all means proceed. Until then, I won't be taking you seriously.

"Keep your government hands off my Social Security check! I need that money to get my next speed fix!"

1912 -- children had jobs.

2012 -- NOBODY has jobs.

Yes, I certainly see the improvement.

Liberals, misrepresenting Libertarianism since 1912.

take any system, take the brakes off and run it to it's logical conclusion, and you'll end up with bad shit.

The "pure" form of all of them fails to account for human nature in one regard or the other. That's why only a fool advocates the pure form of whatever it is they believe in politically.

What always gives me cause for great LOLs is the fact that "liberals" appropriated the name, but hold such seething animosity for the idea that they appropriated the name from.

The fascinating thing about Internetarians is, they can give you an apparently unlimited number of definitions of what libertarianism isn't.

So does Libertarianism want the state to outlaw child labour or not?
