I will start off by saying I'm an(Anarcho-Capitalist). This is a branch of of libertarian philosophy grounded in three main ideals: voluntary exchange, private property and the non-aggression principle. For a simple beginner's guide go here: Link To start off, I'm againstin all form, including government regulation. I am not against natural market/private regulation that that comes thru voluntary exchange and consumer's rights._________________________________________________An example of market regulation:Store owners have liability for the products they sell. If a customer is harmed by one of their products then they'll get sued, their reputation will be diminished, they'll be advertised against by competition, and competitors will take away their customer-based., the store owner's insurance company is gonna want some 'standard of quality' from the store owner, if they are gonna insure his/her business. The insurance company want to reduce their liabilities and prevent possible lawsuits.__________________________________________________, government regulation is inefficient, bureaucratic, coercive, arbitrary and needlessly inflates the cost of healthcare for the average person. Get rid of all state-created(artificial) barriers to the healthcare market and the cost of providing it will go down astronomically.In a free/ancap society every person has personal liability for their behavior, add to that reputation, insurance, social cooperation, contracts, common sense etc... This is the "invisible hand" at work; people pursuing their own interest in a non-aggressive manner, respecting property, engaging in social cooperation to accomplish goals, and taking accountability for their behavior.That is all the regulation you need, minus the bureaucratic red-tape._________________________________________________Instead we should aim to make them as affordable as possible. Market competition does just that., healthcare and insurance for low-to-no income families was available and much more efficient:___________________________________________________________________________________________________________The list of reasons to oppose state regulation are endless, but are summed up in the following short videos(full list go * here ):-- leads to favoritism, promoting the revolving door mentality in government-business collusion i.e. lobbying, destroys jobs for the lower classes._____________________________________How Cronyism is Hurting the EconomyThe State Is Not Great: Legal PlunderIs Capitalism "Pro-Business?"Economic Freedom & Income EqualityThe Reality of the State | Stefan Molyneux___________________________________________________________________Ancap 101 package: LINK The Poor and Less Able: LINK Corporation vs. Business and the Environment: LINK Eliminating IP law: LINK Roads: LINK War and Defense: LINK Law and Order: LINK Public Schools: LINK I know this is SDN so, this thread could go either way.
