Oh no i TOTALLY agree we dont live ina free market, Libretarians strive FOR a total free market, and it seems as if this is sort of what he advocates. The way i look at it simplisticly theres 3 paths to what seems to be both of our desired ends.
A. Less control - The Free Market - Libretarianism - Evnetually showing more freedoms = better will create more and more until we got what we want.
B. More Control - The regulated market - Socialism - Eventually with government intervention we can teach people to live how we expect our anarchist societys to work = Eventually the government wont be needed
C. No Control - No market - Anarchism/Primitivism - By subverting the current system from the inside(not fighting the system from the inside bullshit, i simply mean struggleing for our new world using a diversity of tactics under the constraints of our current system) immediatly, or by waiting for some nuclear blast/natural disaster to occur, we can make quick movements into the type of society we want.
The last may seem utopian, but its possible and happening all over, The question simply becomes can we create this world before capitalism destroys us? My fundemental arguement with Libretarianism is that sure it MAY one day break into the society we desire, but unregulated capitalism in the mean time would speed up the destruction of the planet far beyond what we could even out. And my issues with socialism should be obvious
(I also hope you didnt think that my message was a personal attack, I didnt mean for it to sound abrasive)
