You drive around happily in your Libertarian Paradise, when suddenly ... FFFFUCK.

What do?

I don't get it

Who pays for the roads in a libertarian paradise?

The people who use them.

another moron confusing libertarians with anarcho-capitalists.

Nothing to see here.

aaaaaand another one

I bring a barge, and charge a very high fee for river crossings.

>What do?
Same thing you do when a government road collapses underneath you, like the one in your picture.

all the roads will be toll roads of course

Put in a bid to the landowner to undertake repair work.

180 and drive away.

False.

That's a Communist paradise

I'm pretty sure I remember this level from Halo 3. You drop the grav lift from earlier and get a running start with the warthog, then skip the battle at the ruined buildings area.

hit Turbo Boost and jump that shit

Nobody, our infrastructure will be in shreds by 2025. Most of its rated D-F on saftey and strength.

City-level services still exist in most Libertarian systems.

throw gays off the cliff

>Libertarians are anarchists

Well, we've all seen this thread before

just a quick reminder.

Libertarians are not anarcho-capitalists

Libertarians advocate limited government. A limited government could provide road work, police, fire department, as well as health and safety inspections. Then, you just end it there.

No, the government does not disappear. It is merely limited to essential functions.

I would ford the river in my toyota land cruiser. Stop being a whiny bitch op.

toll roads only

But why, user?

Nothing good comes out of mandatory public *urgh* services!!!

I would gather some investors and rebuild it as a toll bridge

Toll bridges are still a thing, you know? I'm not a libertarian but that's a silly argument.

...

>What do?
Use my freedom-powered jetpack made out of cocaine, gold, and the bones of children, of course :^)

>be libertarian
>build road from point A to B as it seems to be useful and needed for people to travel from their home to work
>Put in a toll at every entry point to make it profitable
>Use money to keep road in working condition
>If I don't someone will build a better road and demand lower fees and I lose my business

This, the government still exists in a libertarian society/economy.

What exsiting libertarian systems are there?

This is the only truly libertarian answer

Privately owned cities. Anti-libertarians don't seem to understand that the capitalists will build the roads so that the peasants... I mean free people can work in the factories.

>objectivists and anarcho-capitalists are not libertarians

Limiting government is not the same as removing it

>Privately owned cities.
Oh, so someone you never elected owns your city? Or even all the cities around you?

Sounds kinda like ... a state. An authoritarian one, at that.

>giving poor people roads

retarded socialist confirmed. the slaves can walk.

Roll up my sleeves and get to work.

For the union!

The democratic republic of kongo probably

Truly the pinnacle of civilization

>provide road work, police, fire department, as well as health and safety inspections
Fucking statist fascist.

I bet you want laws too

Pure coincidence.
Not if they want to be at work at 6AM mate. Having a bus take the absolutely and unquestionably free people to the factory raises efficiency when shifts go over 16 hours a day.

Somalia. Only the efficiency of selfish, rival clans. No central planning, no bureaucracy, no nasty regulations.

I'd take out my rocket launcher that I bought from MegaCorp and blow the entire bridge up so I could traverse over the rubble

Free market will take over, people will start having businesses solely based on building roads/bridges and collecting the toll as a profit if the government can't subsidize the work

>Le anarchist strawman

Consider suicide, R*ddit.

Society would collapse if the government was reduced, as the current state of government has naturally expanded to such over time alongside the rest of society.

Why would anyone not cut corners on maintenance and still charge delicious tollbucks, with no-one to certify if the maintenance was properly done?

This.

Basically what happened in Somalia. Now you have motivated upstanding members of their society maintaining roads and taking tolls. Sometimes a guy gets kidnapped but without overbearing statist governments no one will pay for ransom anyway, the free market will fix that problem!!

Requesting pic of based chinaman in Africa that complains about not being able to buy gravel because everyone wants bribes

In a libertarian paradise there are no roads, because people will be driving flying cars :^)

>muh free market

>Somalia
>libertarian

They still have too many regulations by warlords exerting quasi-state functions.

They're only responding to force used against them, and all their underlings are there voluntarily :^)

>>just as I pull up to the house, a guy in a van with free ice cream

Gets shot because my daughter is trained in weapon use

not even a libertarian but roads should be all privatized. tolls exist.

People are more likely to use services if the cost of using them isn't immediate; as in, people want to use X more if they have to pay Y once a year, rather than Z every time they use it, even if Y is 10% more expensive overall.

Humans are irrational and psychology plays a big roll of what should and should not be privatized.

>People are more likely
Source on that?

this would never happen because it wouldn't have been built by government.

Private firms

The lack of regulation will be an issue though, good luck maintaining a decent road quality without subsidies

Roads?

Where we're going...we don't need roads.

That's because the people who actually use the services want to share the costs with the rest of society and keep the benefits, much like rich kids going to public "free" universities here and in yurop, they feel offended by the idea of paying.
But it doesn't matter, private roads are much better kept and managed, much safer, have much less holes, and even if people hate paying the toll they still prefer it over shitty public roads.

thats a complete turn you fucking retard

an argument

Subsidies just maintain the status quo, preventing innovations that would lead to pothole free roads or no roads at all.

in what libertarian paradise was this picture taken? oh wait, this is a picture of a state road.

now THAT's an argument.

Why would anyone in their right mind drive on such a road if there was a safer option? How would someone like that make money? How frequently do you come back to a restaurant if you find a rats tail in your food there?

...

Somalia IS a backward tribalistic islamic society, but since it lost its government it has had the highert YOY GDP in the region. Really great coverage for cell phones in Somalia from what I hear.

>somalia
>an argument
do you want to try again?

Driving in a Libertarian Paradise.
What are you doing? Everyone else is flying in a Libertarian Paradise.

>hy would anyone in their right mind drive on such a road if there was a safer option?
Who says there is a safer option?

Roads take up a lot of space, and you can't just build over or under them without the road-owners permission, since property rights extend up or down quite a bit.

>who will build the roads
I nostalgia'd
This brings memories, the good old Sup Forums
I miss that good old Sup Forums

I can't wait until Hillary becomes POTUS so we can get rid of the Trumplets

marxism is what happened in Somalia

Keep floating along in my Tesla HoverCar.

>2026
>still using wheels

>the weapon explodes in her hands, killing her instantly, as there is no obligation for quality control in the utopia

Right, so unlikely as it is, let's say for the sake of the argument that someone builds a road in a circle around a community, charges exorbitant rates for the use of said roads and does not do maintenance. If building a competing alternative was not possible for some unlikely reason two things would happen. The community in question would die, as noone in their right mind would move to such a place, real-estate prices would plummet as noone at all, or possibly low-rent people with low purchasing power would move in. The profits from that road would evaporate, the company responsible would be slammed by all of their customers, imagine a crying grandma who can't visit her grandkids because the road is too expensive and her car was ruined by potholes. A total shitshow, you can imagine what it would look like. So while the profits from the road were lost, never to be made back, the companys goodwill would go to hell. The CEO would be fired. The road would be sold to a more competent company, maybe the community could be rescurrected with a lot of investments and incentives for potential customers.

I get that you think like this, but when you are in the private sector, the real private sector where your customer is not the government, you are dependant on people who volunteer to give you money because they like what you do. Being evil is not sustainable over the long term. You can mug a man once in a while, but you will get more from him by selling him something he loves every day.

Not to mention that the insurance companies of everyone who died, were injured or just had their car damaged owing to the low quality of the road would come after the responsible party with their knives sharpened, looking for their pound of flesh. If this was not possible the insurance company would simply put out a notice that they would no longer insure anyone who drove on the dangerous road in question, and in the strongest term advice their customers to not drive there. I could go on, if the roads are too expensive people will do carpooling, take the bus etc.
