JT Jag posted:What do you even call this ideology? Fascist Libertarianism? Corvinus posted:Feudal capitalism (capitalists are the nobility) with fascist overtones. It's right-wing ideology, distilled to its most simple form. The owners have absolute and legitimate right to their power, they are virtuous and noble and the hierarchy they sit on top of is the good and natural order of things. The powerless are wicked and sinful and deserve suffering, their place is to serve the powerful.

Sharkie posted:A man's wife is dying of a disease. The pharmacist has a medicine in his shop that will cure her, but it is too expensive for the man to afford. The man asks the pharmacist to lower the price, he asks for alternative payment plans, etc., but the pharmacist refuses. Now, the man has an opportunity to steal the medicine his wife will die without. What should the man do, and why? The man should rationally recognize that the free market has decided that his wife's death is the most efficient possible outcome since the value of her life is less than the cost of medicine. If the couple wanted to avoid this outcome they should have worked harder so they could afford the medicine or a private insurance plan, but instead they made the free decision to be lazy parasite degenerates and now they must face the consequences. Thus the market punishes irrationality and rewards virtue. Glory to the market in its infinite justice!
