Someone has given you a very incorrect view of private enterprise if they told you that private companies are incapable of committing acts like theft or fraud. Anything a man can do, a company can do, including break laws and be punished for criminal behavior.
He’s an ancap, I’m a racist libertarian. Anarcho anything is unworkable.
I can just give you the argument against anarchism. Without any system of law enforcement, any policy prescription is just a suggestion, which means that anything following the anarcho- part of an ideology is pointless to discuss.
If you’re dealing with an anarchist, the anarchism is the first thing that needs to go.
@Gerfand @Senpai-kun Of course not. We never say that. If they aggress against you, that violates the NAP. If it's something else, there will always be competition. It's also not as if customers can't leave bad reviews.
No they are not breaking the contract when doing that because the contract says "we can break the contract"
Twitter faces no competition because competitors get deplatformed by banks when they host political content that offends the Jews. This is anti-competitive behavior which already violates laws on our books, but it doesn’t matter because our entire system of law enforcement is compromised.
Free market principles require the presence of free and fair competition to act as a control mechanism for those on the upper end of individual power relationships, like an employer’s boss or a first-mover-advantage business in an industry. Subverting or destroying the competitiveness of a market, whatever the means, is anti-free market and anti-libertarian.
Just like every society needs well-enforced laws prohibiting simple crimes like theft and assault, there is no reason for a libertarian society to allow private players to rig the markets in their favor.
Sure it does. You're on Twitter's competition. The fediverse is the future.
Twitter competition is a fringe site, its like saying a local supermarket is competition to Amazon or Wallmart
