The problem seems to be that you are too retarded to understand that Capitalism is not a complete political system unto itself. Capitalism works just fine under any political system with some amount of private property.

The system this community advocates combines Libertarianism with Capitalism, with the explicit goal of reducing the size and power of government as much as possible. That's why it's Anarcho (without government) Capitalism.

Remember that early 20th century Italy and Germany both combined Capitalism and Socialism. They called their systems Fascism. The results were catastrophic, to say the least. we don't want that.

Wow, great arguments guys. Full of ad hominems. Great work, good job. I understand everything now.

Well you both started off spewing ad hominems. None of that was needed to argue a point. Peace, and I agree with you sawboss. The problem with the fake conservatives today, is that they pretend to want small government when that isn't really the case at all. They have effectively hijacked the principles of conservatism and turned them upside down.

Remember when the Evangelical lobby were influential among Republicans? Man I miss the days when Republicans sincerely upheld Conservative principles.

I keep hoping we can infiltrate them with Libertarians. You know, people who are GODDAMN SERIOUS about shrinking government, freeing up the private sector, and reducing our military footprint worldwide.
