What I personally believe is we would benefit from something closer to a free market. I see regulation, and government overreach as one of the biggest issues we have. The results of lobbying has fucked up our economic system to the point where I'm not sure we will actually be able to recover. Things like government bailouts, the "too big to fail" bullshit. Just let them go out of business. The government enforcing the rule of monopolies with bullshit laws. And letting them skate by even when found guilty of being in violation of them (i.e. Google). It's fucking insane.
One of the main things I think that is different from an ancap/libertarian is having some form of federal government is a necessity. At least at this point. Especially because now we have other nation states like Russia, and China that we have to contend with, and I'm not confident if in some magic world where the ancaps got what they wanted, we would have any real defense against them interfering.
I think allowing the scope of the federal government to creep over time is one of the places where the american government has gone wrong. Something more ideal, would be stronger checks and balances to stop this in the future. Because I do believe the saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely". If something is given the power, to give itself more power. It will. Then of course you have the federal reserve.

Then the whole lolbert debates about age of consent shit is just embarrassing. Nigger, keep it 18. If someone messing with someone younger, it shouldn't be a violation of non-aggression principle to put them against the wall. They are a danger to society. And actively harming people, and spreading their sickness to their victims. I feel like the people that argue for that side of things. Are just trying to get cover under whatever group will accept them.
To put my beliefs in a list.
- free market
- the bill of rights
- stronger checks and balances on federal government
- states rights
- personal freedom within reason ( i.e. no harm to others/property of others)
- little to no social programs, possibly public school, but idk that's debatable.
- No foreign involvement
- people who do not come to the country through legal channels should not get the benefits of being a citizen.
- parts of the civil rights act were a mistake.
idk that's more effort than I should have put into this. I could keep going with the list but I've spent enough time on this.
. Not as much as Socialism. But generally I do agree with the personal freedom, and capitalism aspects. I don't exactly feel like the libertarian label fits me. But it's close enough that it's easy to say that, and people to generally get what I would stand for.
