As a libertarian, I think we should stop empowering corporations to control our lives and give the right to decide how the economy functions to decentralized local government run by local communities instead of this centralized monopolistic crony system we call “capitalism” is a great bit that would win some hearts and minds.

    Idk if it would, libertarians can think local governments are big government anyways and just a sneaky tool for little authoritarians to impose their will on their neighbors like ensuring that the water doesnt get poisoned.

    Libertarians' concepts of local government are basically in line with 80s kids movies of some local dingus mayor who wants to demolish the local skate rink to build a strip mall or a golf course or some shit.

    The Killdozer guy in CO went on his rampage cuz the city government kept fining him for dumping his shit into an irrigation canal. All this was cuz he didn't want a septic tank installed cuz the only septic company was owned by a guy he had a personal beef with, who also happened to sit on the town council.
