I understand the problem of government, but would you please, for god's sake, acknowledge the problem of an unregulated private sector and a society absent of communal structure? |

What do you intend then? What constitutes force? Are you allowed to use guns or hold people? I understand that you want something different from the current system but unless you propose changes it looks like you're asking for basically a different version of the same system. Personally I don't support using force against peaceful people under any conditions. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
I don't think that an unregulated private sector would be an issue if it weren't for the absence of a communal structure of some sort. If the community itself had more power then it could do something to stop private sector problems. But none of this needs to be done with force(meaning violence or threats of violence;this includes fines). |

Growing food consists of working regardless. |

That doesn't mean farmers should be punished for producing more. That doesn't meed the value of food should be based on its scarcity. |

What cmind said. If this is your attitude then you are a libertarian for all the wrong reasons. I am a libertarian because I believe that people shouldn't use force to compel charity; they should just be charitable. I find the Randian scorn of altruism to be quite despicable, personally. |

And there is a difference between those who are capable of working and those who are not. |

This doesn't address what I said about the total employment not being sufficient, does it? |

Or we could stop wasting our precious resources on producing meat, which has an efficiency of only 10% compared to simply eating vegetable proteins... That's a lot more food for a lot more people, saving a lot more water (80% of our fresh water used is devoted to food production and agri-business). |

7 billion. And no. |
|
However, we live in the 21st century. There is absolutely no reason why we should have to trade off between free food and working to buy stuff that we can't get or build ourselves. |
