Reply #1: they think that "money" is the starting-point of all economics [View All]

when it's really a product, lacking non-subjective reality; it's a consensual hallucination, a symbol for value emerging from the resource extraction/manufacturing cycle. profit, commerce, and retail are finagles permitted by monetization

tl,dr: libertarians want to kill and eat whatever they want, sell the wetlands they own as toxic-waste dumps, buy bricks of goooooold, drill here and now, permit segregation--and collect their Social Security checks and Medicare prescriptions, because those aren't government programs. they're absolutely the last group left-wing populists should appeal to, since they're fine with corporate profits BECAUSE they have some fuzzy ideal of the small farmer and shopkeeper from Jefferson's 1800s writings (the US came to the Industrial Revolution late, and these pre-revolutionary entities were deluged by entrepreneurs that became Big)
