If someone doesn't care enough for their baby to feed it, they would simply sell their baby on the baby market to somebody with a use for it. Checkmate commies
Hasn't some libertarian ”intellectual” said that there'd be a marketplace for children in a truly free market?
Murray Rothbard, yes. The guy who coined the term, "anarcho-capitalism."
"the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children".
"the existence of a free baby market will bring such 'neglect' down to a minimum"
I would be very interested to know why they think that would be any better then our current adoption system. You can already give up an infant, and there's a wait list a mile long. What's going to make abusive parents suddenly realize "you know what, I should give up my baby". Because I've known a lot of uh, not great parents who just continue to have them.
To everyone's surprise, abusive pieces of shit don't really care about their victims.
Yeah but they'd care about money, and I assume the idea here is that they literally sell the babies to people who want them. With no restrictions or necessary background checks. I see no way this could possibly backfire and turn into some kind of dystopian hellscape, after all, when has that ever happened under Capitalism? \s
Real world consequences are irrelevant for libertarians, all that matters is that they come up with some answer that satisfies their absurd logic game constructs. The walking embodiments of “the means justify the ends.”
Murray Rothbard. And he wasn’t just a “libertarian intellectual”. If libertarians had their own Five Heads, he would probably be on it.
He wasn't a libertarian intellectual because itnellect is the dump stat for libertarians.
So is charisma and wisdom. They pump it all into luck. If they succeed due to luck, they create more libertarians saying the system works better the way they did it. If they don't succeed, well, they die poor and alone but won't be famous enough to dissuade future libertarians
this high margin baby futures derivatives speculative asset bubble is actually the most efficient system of distributing babies
Used to be if you wanted to sell baby futures, you just had to invest in coal.
