Sup Forums is Ron Paul's vision realistic?

Privatizing schools, highways and air traffic systems are so bizzarre yet interesting. I believe in free market and competition but I don't know how it would work in our economy.

Yeah Ron Paul is a genius

Yes. In order to to have a truly free market we'd have to have the free movement of goods and people too though. You won't see anyone on Sup Forums admit that because they're too stupid and lazy to be able to compete against chinks and Mexicans.

It wouldn't work. Libertarianism has literally never succeeded anywhere in the world, because it fails to take into account basic human greed.

So remove liberty because of greed. I think we all know what color this person's hammer and sickle is.

Privatizing air traffic control is just begging for problems.

Because people in the government are so much more efficient than people in the private sector.

It might work, but it doesn't matter because libertarians keep losing.

No, communism has the same issue.

Proving that ultimately libertarians are correct.

>Sup Forums is Ron Paul's vision realistic?

No not at all. That is why he, and his ilk will never win anything big. that doesn't make him any less correct though

Do you really struggle in seeing how privatized schools would be better in every imaginable way?

It might be a little trickier to understand road if you view ownership of specific land as monopolistic, but schools, really? There's plenty of charter schools and private orgs like Khan Academy, edX, and so on.

>because it fails to take into account basic human greed.
What part of libertarianism relies on humans not being greedy?

The entire free market relies on sellers and buyers wanting to maximize their well being by making mutually beneficial trades. If someone stopped trying to serve others at all, then they don't do any business

Schools yes, others no

This is ironic, yes?

Read Hoppe, you can actually have both o the two worlds together

Is there any profit in educating the poor?

...

The issue isn't efficiency, it's being on the same page.

If each air carrier had a separate ATT system, getting information from one organization to another world be significantly more complicated, which means longer times for landing or takeoff clearance. Furthermore, any error or miscommunication between organizations could have lethal consequences for hundreds of people.

There is absolutely no advantage to privatizing air traffic systems.

It won't work.

>natural monopolies
>markets aren't efficient under conditions of information asymmetry
>Austrian economics straight up denies empirical approach because reality doesn't fit their stupid ideas

Firms make money selling things to the poor all the time (Wal-Mart, McDonald's, cigarettes, etc). Schools find ways to do the same.

Then there's also the private charity and foundation element. Look at all the scholarship funds that currently exist. Instead of making everybody pay taxes, letting those who wish to fund other's learning do so the way they see fit. Right now the govt just crowds out better alternatives

>Privatizing schools, highways
State level issues that require no federal intervention.
>air traffic systems
A federal level issue that could be privatized and run by the airports with only minimal/basic federal oversight.

The government didn't create and mandate every industry standard ever. If a monopoly is broken up or an industry is de-nationalized, does that necessarily mean industry standards disappear?

is he really for privatizing highways? sounds absurd to me but I can see the benefits of the other ones.

>because it fails to take into account basic human greed.

that would be socialism.

So who enforces laws and property rights?

then no political ideology is good

In a country with the Constitution of the United States? The states. I don't think Ron Paul advocates anything other than the Constitution

Air traffic control is already partially privatized.

It's fucking stupid
Our task now is to curb the influence of the mob, not increase its power on account of muh abstract principles

>Lessening state interference increases the power of the mob
Really?

I think Ron Paul is a minarchist so the state would enforce laws.

"your private rights agency" is the an cap answer however libertarianism != an cap.

you guys need to understand that libertarian is a umbrella term to describe a lot of people. some of these people like I think that there should be a MINIMAL government. (and I also happen to think that it should be a monarchy).

no.

however I do agree that govt should be streamlined/reduced where practical

Yes, actually. Do you realize how shitty our poor population is? Without government interference, it would be unprofitable to educate then.

Libertarianism works in a protrstant middle class society. It doesn't work when 30% of the population comprises an illiterate horde that can barely speak English

No u wanker.

The reason corporations are so powerful is because they buy politicians who bend the rules for them.

If we have no government then everyone is on the level playing field. Government monopoly of things is so corporations control it all.

> It doesn't work when 30% of the population comprises an illiterate horde that can barely speak English

that was the argument for feudalism. and in fact in feudalism it was even worse than the 30%.

>can't free the peasnts they are too dumb

yeah sure buddy, somehow tho feudalist countries lost.

>state-run education for hundreds of years
>federal control in education for at least 40 years
>Look how dumb these people are, we need the government to fix this!
There's clearly an alternative explanation about what the problem is. And what about libertarianism requires homogeneity? That's quite the perversion of liberty

I'm not arguing fior feudalism, you clown. There needs to be some
An uneducated horde is worse for a democracy than special interests

An caps dont believe in democracy. Democracy is tyranny of majority.

You just can't convince people that think that way. Their cyclical garbage thinking will never end.

>starry eyes secret jew telling the left wing youth everything they want to hear without explaining how

Millennials can't even remember what was said a month ago, if nigger jon stewart doesn't bring it up RP could promise them their own timeshare in Paris and not have to front it

I assume he's talking about performed participation in any political process. Or maybe even the market

Why do you think the government is the only the thing that can teach people? Is it the only thing that can feed people?

>an caps
Not this fucking shit again
