Fuck...
If this guy continues, I will never again have the ultimate excuse of "a real libertarianism was never tried"

Selling all public housing seems good, but privatization of everything is kinda bad. A good government moves slowly to see what does and doesn't work.

I see this similar to how lefties see Star Trek. The future is money-less system utopia. The reality is likely closer to The Expanse, where millions live on basic and in poverty on multiple planets and asteroids.

His country is likely to end up like the Libertarian utopia of Somalia, and other nations will have to avoid his entire coastline for fear or piracy.

Yes, the public infrastructure move is retarded. :AsukaShrug:

I live in a fucking EU, and I still believe, that we went way too far in getting rid of the state owned infrastructure.

A functioning state does need to provide roads and water. At a bare minimum. Parks/recreation areas, shared power infrastructure (rented to companies), monopoly on violence (police), fire and military backed emergency services (e.g. national guard in a hurricane) are kinda essential for stability. People are willing to give up a bit of sovereignty for genuine security ... and it can easily runaway--I get that's a real/legit fear; but if it's minimal and somehow subject to the account of the people, it's not a bad thing.

I meant more like railways.
We have at least 3 railroad companies, so sometimes, you can no longer buy a single ticket for your entire way, because some areas are owned by a different colored trains.

Yea, the railway thing you see all around the world. Rail/buses are always subsidized (usually your ticket only pays for 15%~20%). A lot of cities start selling it off and enter into these public/private contracts. Melbourne and Metro is a good example. The corruption in the city council kept awarding money to a ticketing company that ended up costing over a billion dollars for a card based fare system:
