It's impossible to reform anything in the US government... because reform would require those who support to programs to admit they're flawed. The only way to get reform is to remove and replace... or have a GIANT disaster that can't be ignored anymore. Like why the VA hosptials got reformed. |
My understand is that, yes Libertarians want to tear everything down. But they generally have the belief that, somehow, the markets will magically rebuild everything and everyone will be better off with the pricing mechanism being the answer to everything. Libertarians believe that everything has a market answer including fire protection, because I guess they believe fires will magically not jump onto property of people who paid who live next door, and you need some death in fires to make people pay up for their fire protection.
Anarchists want to tear everything down, including the concept of private property, because they belief, if you remove all constraints, and make everything voluntary, society will organize itself in magically ways and everyone will love and share. It is just that the bully system of coersion by government, makes people evil and greedy.
A thing about destructionist ideologies is they really don't solve any problems. They have a belief that somehow, if you get rid of something, that the natural order of things will magically make the problems go away. What ends up being failed to realize in this is that governments take up issues because the population demands they do something about it. Even if it isn't a majority, it is sufficient numbers for a politician to get elected on it. Destructionst ideologies are ones where society goes highwire without a net beneath. It is risky and radical. And I believe, before anyone subscribes to any of this they need to ask if such can be done today, with what we have, voluntarily, before people decide to tear everything down. Is it possible to evolve new solutions and migrate over, before deciding to burn the place down and replace it with something that may or may not show up? I believe this approach is genuinely more conservative.
