>he agrees with me so he must be based
Not based at all, his argument is a typical Austrian just-so story. Maybe based if he actually bothered to do some research, but he won't because >>16074032

LMAOOOO. Austrian economics is a joke.

I'm interested in what that evidence was.

T. Never read a book on Austrian economics

He is right about everything when it comes to economics and ethics. That said, his politics is very interesting, and he gets a lot right, but he also gets important points wrong by being a strict Rothbardian. For instance, it is surprising that he has read (based on citations) Mosca, Jouvenel, etc. and yet come away in seeming ignorance of elite theory and the iron law of oligarchy, asserting instead that a private law society (ancap) can be achieved merely by public opinion turning in its favor. Those who read his works should take care to read the citations--they are often in agreement, but the citations tend to be less utopian than Hoppe himself.

Anarcho capitalism is a joke, current billionaires would use their money to build a private government and exploit you even harder.

B-but it's good because it removes us voting for them

[Anonymous No.16074380]

>>16074300
If that's the case, what's stopping billionaires from getting right into it? Why do they instead continually lobby and cooperate with the world's governments, rather than fight tooth and nail against them?

People, government?

There's nothing to read. He's a dogmatic apriorist. He discounts all empirical evidence in the social sciences.

Praxeological propositions are synthetic a priori

[Anonymous No.16074535]

>>16074466
Nope. They rely empirical and synthetic propositions, which even Mises admitted:
>Into the chain of praxeological reasoning the praxeologist introduces certain assumptions concerning the conditions of the environment in which an action takes place. Then he tries to find out how these special conditions affect the result to which his reasoning must lead. The question whether or not the real conditions of the external world correspond to these assumptions is to be answered by experience.

[Anonymous No.16074569]

No, but he's a good guy, his heart's in the right place. I like him.

[Anonymous No.16074623]

>>16074535
Oh okay, you don't understand what synthetic a prior means then. Sorry for bothering you

>Mises derives praxeological propositions from deductive logic, BUT IF YOU SHOW THAT TO BE UNTRUE, YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND SYNTHETIC A PRIORI

Far from needing to stop big business, government has gotten quite cozy with it in the way it drafts regulations and other laws. As for the People, you're ironically as deluded as Hoppe on this one. The People is an impotent mass without a page of history to their credit.

Yeah, Ancaps are right about everything.

To a certain degree, yea. You are just retarded, without government these corporations would take over.
