i mean, yeah it’s basically the amount of work of a semester long course in making everything from windows work in linux

I’m a “follower” of the Austrian School of Economics

Okay, so you admit you have no idea how economics work. That’s really cool you’re part of an economics fanfic club though.

In fact, monopolies can only survive through government-grant privileges

This is just false. You dont understand economics at all if you dont understand how all free markets naturally devolve into monopolies. Yes, governments can also grant monopolies by force, but without antitrust laws literally every market becomes a monopoly.

The only difference is that, in a free-market setting, they wouldn’t have any monopolical privileges

You cant have a free market without a government enforcing anti monopoly laws.

It’s the same thing as trump in the US, they just say things angry people want to hear, and they get elected and end up being the selfserving lying pieces of shit they always were. The difference in Argentina is all the choices are lying pieces of shit. Yeah Milei sucks but so does Kirchner and Fernandez.

Why would you trust an oligarchy of politicians (the State) to decide which goods are useful “for a community” and which don’t?

Because we voted for them. We didn’t vote for the board of directors of private companies. There’s plenty of waste and corruption in private enterprise. It’s not voluntary if they lie cheat and steal just like bad politicians.

The problem is when crooks privatize these things they steal billions of dollars worth of taxpayer money. Yes Argentina is messed up, but it’s because of corruption. Privatization or socialization, both will fail because of corruption.

Like, private school or public school, they both fail if the principal is stealing money, this isn’t a leftist/rightist issue.

If they sucked dick instead of going to war, there’d be nothing wrong with that and the whole world would be much better off

On average sure, but putin probably has more than 3.5% subverting democracy for him, it’s not so simple for the people.
