that must be bernie sander's year book picture

because he was actually what trump only promised us trump is.
Ron's youtube channel is pretty good though

fuck off leaf

Because of the Federal Reserve

he never expected to win. he ran to wake people up.

his end goal is for the country to wake up and over throw the government, but sadly its not time yet

We still have time he ain't death yet, and Trumpy will have to leave office sooner than expected.

He wasn't though, he has a meme-tier understanding of economics and geopolitics and would have fucked us.

when it is time, his birthday will be a national holiday

that's why America grew much faster under the old way than under keynesian economics.

Because he would have destroyed capitalism.

Because he was the best candidate in a long time.

That was another great thing about him.

Name one scenario where government getting in control of things has ended good.

You could've prevented this

just ignore the leftys, this is /ourboard/

>Implying I am for government control.

If the free market did happen in America, you'll see the major corporations fall and cause a crash. The majority of the people would blame capitalism and the socialists will take over.

>Implying you aren't for government control
>The government should stop the free market to prevent a crash
Right, that's why Obama dropped inflation and everyone got richer: because he got government involved... oh wait, that's wrong.

You do need some government intervention to keep the free market alive, or else monopolies/oligopolies take over.

I'm saying that capitalism needs croyism and corporatism to survive.
That's why I am anti-capitalist. There is no free market ad even if there was you would see the economy crash due to the theory that all monopolies prop up by the state would fall.

>quoting a guy that eats the fungus from his feet in front of an audience

>Quoting a guy who quotes a guy that eats fungus from his feet in front of an audience

By introducing said government to "stop the crash", you are just giving power for a small group of people to prop up one super monopoly where everyone who doesn't buy into it is imprisoned.

Take the public schooling disaster, where there is literally no competition because everyone takes the artificially cheaper option of going to a gov run school.

Why stop at government? Imagine if the government decided to tax people to make iPhones cheaper; there's practically no difference.

*Why stop at schooling
fuck

I'm not supportive of government control. My argument was that capitalism needs the government to survive. I'm anti-state and anti-capitalist.

So what do you propose, and why are you against the mutual exchange of goods and why would anyone adhere to your proposal? (remember you don't want a state)

Truth

Someone piss in your cornflakes this morning? Calm down.

Well, I am a socialist(De leonist). I believe the workers should self govern the means of production. I do not want the state to control it neither the government. I don't want a small few holding power over the root of all political and economic life. I want it held in the hands of the people.

Neither the capitalist*

the key players in the libertarian party amd think tanks are all pseudointellectuals with their heads up their asses. one guy from a think tank literally said to me "the libertarian partys purpose is to criticize the government, not to be a part of it; to be a voice of reason with no actual political authority". he lost because his party has no desire to win and prefers it that way. he never had a fucking chance.

anyone in dc or anyone in the know about the liberty movement can telk you this

Cause he just made to much sense. Like Bernie, the one who really should win will not.. Carter was a rare instance where a perfect candidate actually did win, but he was screwed over.

Ron Paul just made to much sense

>im a socliast
>no government intervention

Jesus fucking christ

what nickname would Trump give him?

crooked? little? crazy?

>Deo Leonism
Nobody would adhere to your system other than failures at life or genuinely unworkable people. And I doubt even you would. If you worked all your life on a factory I doubt you'd be happy with me coming over and taking control of it.

The most logical form of anarchism is capitalism, because that is a mutual arrangement and it harnesses self-interest (and greed), something that every human has.

>bernie should've won
Wrong. I know you probably have a lot of friends who tell you this, but he's a communist and the polar opposite of Ron Paul.

I think Trump would lose in a debate against him to be honest. Of course Trump might make it look he won by going on about "not having people dieing in the streets!" but I expect Ron would just tell him about the joys of donations and voluntarism.

He truly is /ourguy/.

One side of the equation is the way the Republican primary ( and primaries in genenral) works, combined with the grass roots/ tea party movements hold on the party at the time. Primaries became 100% purity contests where you had to be as far deep into a specific brand of conservatism as possible or the increasingly extreme Republican masses, so anyone with a different approach didn't get anywhere. The Republican base doesnt want a libertarian who clearly thinks the war on drugs and abortion are state issues, they want a daddy that tells everyone those things are a no no.

On the other side you have something similar to what happened with Bernie on the left this time around: the party establishment did everything they could to keep an outside candidate down. They tried the same shit with Trump, but Trump and his political advisers expected this and a huge part of thier campaign effort was getting ahead of this. If you look into there were ton of dirty tricks used to impede Ron Paul, including in party voter suppression, but when they tried to do shit like this with Trump , he knew it was coming.
