Could having a minimal government make it harder for important social safety nets to exist, or would it encourage communities to help themselves?

 @9TW9SR6from Ontario answered…1wk1W

Absolutely make it harder for anyone who isn't already rich. Plus it encourages Greed at the very top

 @9TW7FFGIndependentfrom Ontario answered…1wk1W

Of course it would make it harder to have safety nets, where’s the money coming from?

 @9TTDV9Ffrom Ontario answered…1wk1W

Original marxist and anarchist libertarian schools of thought allow for freedom as exploitative class structures are disassembled in those ideals. Capitalist co-opting of these libertarian ideals however only encourages exploitation and the failure of social safety nets.

How would the economy be different if government regulations were reduced or eliminated entirely?

 @9TTFZM4New Democraticfrom Ontario answered…1wk1W

Libertarians are the political house cats of society.

They are fiercely convinced of their own independence with no real world concept of what actually puts food in their bowl everyday.

Libertarians are the worst kind of liberal.

 @9TTDV9Ffrom Ontario answered…1wk1W

Libertarianism as it is currently understood is as a branch of capitalism. Under a capitalist economy with no regulations the exploitation of the working class only gets worse. Also a good chunk of "libertarian"s nowadays are either in it for those financial reasons or due to specific government rules that have to do with the ages of those they "interact with".

Considering the growing concerns about privacy, would you support a policy that limits government surveillance, even if it might affect national security?

 @9RCSVDSCommunistfrom Manitoba answered…2mos2MO

I think surveillance is inevitable in a digital age, and I'd much rather it be the government that is surveilling me than unregulated corporations. That said, I would support policies limiting surveillance such as not allowing video surveillance, which I fear could lead to bans on masks which would be a major threat to public health and safety, especially taking into account the ongoing pandemic.

Do you think lower taxes mean more personal freedom, or could it lead to more inequality in society?

 @9TMR89C from Alberta answered…2wks2W

I have no trustworthy information on this matter. I apologize for not having a response.

How might a country with a 'free market economy' impact your future career prospects?

Would you feel safer or more vulnerable in a society where citizens are responsible for their own self-defense?

I would feel more unsafe, although I would like more rights to self defense.

How would a society with minimal government intervention shape your daily life?

Who do you think benefits the most in a ‘free market’ system with minimal government intervention?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

How should society balance personal freedoms against ensuring that everyone has access to essential services like healthcare and education?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

If the government did not provide financial aid during a crisis like COVID-19, how do you think society would have coped?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

Do you believe education should be a private or public responsibility, and how would that shape your future?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

Would you feel more empowered or more stressed living in a country where citizens are responsible for their own success without government aid?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

If public health care was replaced by private options, how would that impact accessibility for everyone?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

How would your day-to-day life change if the government played a much smaller role in the economy?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

What are the pros and cons of having a government that only provides foundational services such as police and military?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

If education was entirely privatized, how do you think that would affect your learning experience?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

Imagine your ideal level of taxation; what services would you be willing to give up to achieve it?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

Can less government control truly result in fair opportunities for everyone, or would it benefit some groups over others?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

Do you believe that more personal freedoms would lead to a better or more chaotic society, and why?
