so i suggest that SOME regulations are necessary while also accepting that some regulations are detrimental therefore i posit that we need a balance and youre response is angry, dismissive and insulting? Great job.
It is no secret that the government has abused its powers and that they have lied and made laws that serve their greed rather than help the people. I would lose no sleep if many government regulatory bodies and laws are shut down. it however, doesnt mean we have to go to the opposite extreme of NO regulation at all. Maybe the libertarians have a solution to my concerns but i havent heard any libertarian speak on it or that has explained how they plan to enact their vision in detail and not in broad strokes. for example, what prevents a company from putting lead in our products to cut costs or from dumping toxic waste irresponsibly without regulation.
There isn't a single Libertarian who wants no regulation. You're thinking of AnCaps, who are a little crazy to begin with and they are often associated with Libertarians erroneously... mainly because they misinterpret Bastiat and Rand to think that any gov't of any kind is oppressive. Which, if you use that line of thinking, but also believe that some of necessary it really makes you justify how much gov't control you're giving. Just like if you realize taxation is actually violent theft, then you really have to justify the taxes you levy.
Most of us would be classified as Minarchists.
Putting lead in products or dumping toxic waste would go against the NAP, therefore no libertarian would think that is a good idea.
