You and I fill the vacuum. Its not as though the government does only necessary things, it does a bunch of things that just restrict us from interacting together as we wish. There would jsut be less paperwork and pointless rules, and people telling you that you cant do the thing that doesnt harm anyone.
Right, I understand the libertarian/anarchist position. I just don’t understand how we get to this ideal state. History has not panned out this way. Decreasing government spending on social welfare will get us more privatization and corporate oligarchy. You don’t get to just pick the parts of government that you want to get rid of and go from there. I would love to get rid of the US military but it is an entrenched power base. It’s just an untenable position in my opinion. What is step 1 of this process?
Government spending on welfare programs has done the opposite of what was planned. We have spent tens of trillions of social welfare, and all we have done is created a serf class of people who are generationally dependent on the government. Why dont we pick the parts of the government we want to get rid of?
I think the way things change is general collapse and not being able to afford things. And we are already headed in that direction with the biden admin fucking up their foreign policy and starting the end of the petro dollar.
