[extropy-chat] free market?

[Ned Late]

This'll be the last post of the day, five posts on this sort of topic are more than enough as you all will agree.
  Of course the free market is the only real market, economically speaking libertarians are correct; yet politically you free marketeers have got to admit to yourselves authoritarian government is here to stay for a long, long time. Totalitarianism has been largely vanquished however liberal democratic confiscatory capitalist states have proven to be more durable than many thought, because-- for one thing-- you can't get enough economists to arrive at a consensus on how to proceed to a free market economy in the first place. We can't even get policymakers to come to a consensus on how to control the border with Mexico for crying out loud, so how long do you think it will be before this country can agree on moving to a free market? Dream on.
