Sometimes a statement or claim is so batshit crazy it becomes hilarious.

Либералы любят говорить о слезинке ребенка.

Но их действия показали, что это было чистое притворство и лицемерное морализаторство.

Ради своих фантазий они были вполне готовы обречь миллионы на смерть (резня в окраинных республиках), на нищету и вымирание.

Реки слез детей их при это как то ни очень волновали.

In any age
Rulers won't let go of their power willingly
It must be forcefully ripped from them
Preferably together with their guts.

Free market is an elemental force; without conscience yet  acting according to it’s specific ways.
It will bring benefit people, if by coincidence it is profitable to do so.
If it's more profitable to hook them up on drugs (mood correctors I've heard American kids are increasingly fed) or enslave them (private prisons in US and some other places) free market will do that.
It is like fire: when controlled and regulated it can be made to work for public benefit (like fire heating boiler).
Leaving it completely on it's own devices is like leaving unattended fire and hoping it will warm your house instead of burning it to the ground.
Note, however, that when over regulated it won’t work either, just like snuffed out fire will not heat the boiler.

I hope this article will become a starting point for discussion, so please comment profusely Hi! . 

While reading/listening to libertarian video/bloggers, I often came upon this reasoning:

“Governments do not produce anything, they only consume, so they have no job in (re)distributing what they didn’t produce (i.e. taxing producers and then spending tax revenue for welfare or other projects)”.

But what if government _Does_ have independent revenue – for example there are state-owned profitable mines/factories that generate revenue. Would government be then justified (from libertarian point of view) to engage in welfare (in form of free healthcare/education options, for example) or projects (like infrastructure building)?

 

PS
Please note, that the question _Assumes_ existence of some government and some profitable state-owned property, so Please don’t dodge the question by saying “there should be no government” etc, as it would be besides the point (if more ideologically puritanical).
