vive - this is my whole point. People dont find opposition with capitalism. 64% of Americans believe in capitalism which is a 10% gain from a couple years before. I also believe that somewhere in the mid 90 percentcile believe capitalism is the best way to handle the business sector.
So thats why we should be standing up for capitalism and not freedom. Freedom will come when capitalism starts being legalized.
Pick any aspect of freedom you want that libertarianism fights for and it can be realized through capitalism, but try and convince a majority on a specific aspect of freedom and you have debate (drugs, gambling, prostitution, education, banking, CIA, debt, national defense, police, ect ect ect).
I believe socialism has been proven completely wrong by facts. Thats the battle that should be fought.
We should be demanding from our politicians why they are socialists when they claim to believe in capitalism. That fight can be won.
Just look at these socialist they admit capitalism has been proven correct or else they wouldnt claim businesses should be privatized. We shouldnt be arguing with socialists about healthcare, roads, military, wars, or whatever else. We should be asking why are they a walking contradiction? how can you claim capitalism is good here, but not there.
Then throw out the Thomas Sowell’s three questions. They cant answer it.
Capitalism has the truth on its side. We shouldnt hide it by preaching freedom and mask the truth because we feel the truth has an adverse reation to people. We should be putting the truth uncomfortably close to there face and let them prove it wrong. They cant, all they can say is “well i just dont believe it.” All you have to say is ‘fine, continue living a lie in a state of ignorance’. You cant win them all, but you will find most people want the truth.
People like me who saw the truth of capitalism all around me, but before Mises i couldnt prove it. Well lets give the 64% that believe in capitalism the ammunition to defend it. Let the people reach the same conclusion of anarcho capitalism at their own pace, but in the mean time let them fight for capitalism.
