I'm not even referring to all that. I'm saying that aren't understanding the very simple distinction I've explained to you several times in this thread.
I'm not seeing in yours, or any other libertarian's comments that tells me they can admit ANY fault in their hypothetical free market.
Right, that's the problem, you don't see what's being said, you're stuck with your idea of what's being said.
They don't see ANY unintended consequences and assume exact behaviors for people participating in the market.
Same here, that's what you see, not what's said.
If you think the free market can somehow be attained gradually, that's a complete pipe dream.
I agree, it will only happen when the revolution comes. People with power don't willingly give it up.
It's like getting rid of traffic laws and expecting everyone to universally continue practicing safe driving standards.
And yet, that's exactly what's happened when it's been tried.
