Do you call me a Statist (consider that I like the idea of UHC, free education, SNAP, and so forth)?

Well then, since i do not say those things:

These people have yet to offer an alternative to voting or having governments in the first place and yet they get upset when we suggest the Republic of the Congo might be more to their liking.

Edit: That is the most well-constructed Straw Man I have ever seen.

You've argued with livejournal conservatives and you say that?

Looks like the type of bullshit graphic I see butthurt white dudes passing around on The Facebook.

The type of "unfettered capitalism" that "libertarians" get hard over is de facto statism anyway.

You know what is a good argument for the free market? Watching Libertarians try to invent political dichotomies whole from the cloth completely outside the marketplace of ideas and failing terribly at it.

I'm rubber. You're glue. It bounces off me and sticks to you.

LIBERTARIAN LOGIC

If you don't vote, you can't complain.

If you vote and your candidate loses, you can't complain.

If you vote and your candidate wins, you can't complain.

NOTICE ANY COMMON THEMES?

(Honestly, what do any of those statement have to do with "Statism"? They're equally likely to be spoken by a follower of any political philosophy.)

Libertarians believe only non-voters can complain because you motherfuckers are the ones who put the shitheads in office.

Dude, it's not all one Statism. All state governing systems have people complaining in them, that's how any changes ever happen. We just get sick of hearing some complaints over and over.

And some people are douches.
