Govt doesn't innovate or produce, directly. Whenever they try, it turns into a shambles. A big robust left govt only functions until it runs out of the money from the right and center.

Ok I'm clearly not going to put the effort in big word use that occurred in the OP when I say:

I believe the tl;dr here is that Masked is taking it upon themselves to discredit posters who (in short) half-assedly post? What will become of all the Rachels, Joeys, Chandlers and Monicas if the forums are just Rosses?

Does everything boil down to left, right, center, and all their connotations?

Libertarian minarchism fits the bill pretty darn well of what I think is ideal for a capitalistic societies. Localities could govern themselves as the saw fit and people could find peace with their own.

You run into the same challenge that I mentioned earlier with differences (potentially drastic) in law from place to place complicating interstate/municipality travel/relations of course, but for the most part people are free to do as they like be it build a family, amass a fortune or die in a ditch.

Ok now you are thinking but you have to take it all the way. How do you protect this society from larger statist systems? or a cabal of smaller groups working to control things like international commerce? I bet the native Americans thought they had a pretty ideal minarchist system going until they ran into better organized state powers that had no qualms about acquiring their resources and lands by force.

Well, thank you; I am flattered ^^ Alas, I am neither so clever nor so noble as to pursue such lofty ambition. The good people of this place are gifted, by genius or by madness, with unparalleled insight.
