    It is impossible to even have any semblance of free market without being authoritarian because not only labour division is authoritarian but who would enfore things like currency or infrastructure?

    Well it is basically impossible to even have free market at all, but when they say “free market” they don’t mean “free market”, they mean imperialism.

      Wierdly I’ve heard some libertarians praise China’s belt and road system as doing what “real” capitalism should be doing.

        I mean that is what theoretical capitalism definitely SHOULD be doing, but unfortunately for everyone, real capitalism is not like that and libertarians are as always full of shit and delusions.

          Heh It’s almost as if capitalism behaves correctly if the state forces it to behave correctly. Once the capitalists are able to influence the state, capitalism becomes greedy and destructive to the world and the workers.

    These ultra-capitalists are basically the same as left-coms. “It wasn’t real socialism/capitalism” “real socialism/capitalism is when it fails”

    Defending markets, on the other hand, is not authoritarian. Presumably. Good to know.
