Not sure what’s happening but libertarians are winning
Many concerns that Trump is more conservative than libertarian.
A sample is border for talented immigrants.
A conservative would want to restrict immigration.
Libertarians are of course more pro open borders. Libertarians are divided when immigrants are parasitic. But when immigrants are productive and want to work and so on then there is no issue.
Of course, even id those talented engineer cannot come they can work online remotely. So no problemo there.
And Trump side with libertarians.
I sometimes wonder that Bitcoin did it all.
So we have wesphalian principles turning nation states into shops people can vote around.
The world is already like network of private cities where nations are like those private cities. Those jurisdictions are Competing for capitals from investors and top talents. If you have capital or are very talented at something, the world can already very libertarian for you. You just need to shop around.
Then there is this Almighty Bitcoin. Nation states cannot ban it. China tried. SEC tried. Banning bitcoin will only hurt economy. So we got more and more acceptance.
Bitcoin and web3.0 is like Israel. Web3.0 for libertarians are like Israel for jews. Web3.0 is Pretty much ancapnistan already. Once something over there manifest then we got something close to ancapnistan soon. I would say 10 years from now.
Since Israel exist, jews can only be oppressed so much because they can just move to Israel.
The same way, nation states can only oppress libertarians so much because libertarians can make money in web3.0 free of tax out of reach of most jurisdiction. Many jurisdiction gave up taxing crypto. In Singapore crypto income is not taxed. Many countries only tax income earned within the country.
My country doesn’t tax Capital gain in bitcoin. It’s a no brainer. Be a doctor pay 30 percent of income to government. Buy and hold bitcoin Pays A mere 0.11 transaction tax.
Then we got Saint Ulbricht. He created silk Road. That makes drug Enforcement ineffective. People can just import drugs for personal use via web.
Under democracy government can’t punish casual users of small amount of drugs too heavily. So that’s it. War on Drug is settled. Drug wins. States after States legalize drugs.
The next target is tax. Enforcing tax is difficult. As long asyou can convert bitcoin or monero to cash anonymously, government can’t tax you.
As usual government Fold the card. Trump and Kommiela promise ending taxes for tips. The next step is turning all income into tips and pick clients with reputation to tip more.
It’s all cascading.
The future is bright.
We are winning.
But the State still exist? So? You really want full ancapnistan? You want people to have Freedom to torture their Pets? You want people that pick the wrong right enforcement agency to be murdered with impunity? Let’s not worry about it that far.
For now, whatever flavor of libertarians you have, ancap, minarchist, normal we are all wanting the same things and moving the World toward our direction.
It’s working out.
Prospera is working. Free state projects is working. In fact, even democracy is working fine in Argentina and Moderately in USA.
It’s working out. Libertarianism will no longer be just fringe ideology on theories.
Things are happening our way.
