Well done Paddy! Good show! I thought you put your points across in a really clear and persuasive way, and used some lively examples (I liked the ‘bottle of milk’ one!). You got more time than I expected, so fair dos to the presenter for that, despite some of his questions missing the point (such as ‘who pays the nurses?’). Not sure I got the other person’s definitions, but hey ho.
Excellent contribution Paddy!
Interesting to see the same old tired baseless anarchocapitalist argument surface – that we don’t live in a capitalist society but a corporatist society. Ancaps who plug this line should be asked to explain how exactly they propose to get us back from a corporatist to a capitalist society in their terms.
Are they going to use the state to “smash” big business? Do they expect the little corner shop to outcompete a supermarket chain and drive the latter into bankruptcy? Or what?
The only way of stopping the banks from crashing the Uk’s economy without bailing them out was to nationalise them. You can bet your life that libertarian would be against that!
