Yeah, there should always be che ks and balances and governments that misbehave should be taken to court.
Im sorta mid on that. The wealth of nations was a popular read during the Irish famine. The free market never corrected and it did take significant investment to get their economy back to a healthy state.
Without government subsidies and contracts it would have been impossible to go to the moon or procure military hardware and food prices would skyrocket. A lot of capitalistic development is due to tax exemptions, loopholes, subsidies and grants. No to mention bailouts when banks fail.
Sometimes its good, sometimes its bad. Like most things some healthy moderation and strong criticism and opposition is a good thing. We should be questioning what they do and why and they should certainly be held to account.

There is also 'democracy as is' and 'more representative democracies' lots of room for improvement imo.
Still might run away to live in the woods and build a log cabin tho.

Sure thing, im very into democracy as it seems to be the only fair way to organize large groups of people. Dispered power as far as possible, as you said, smaller government, bigger individuals.

Right so conservative censorship going back centuries, religious law and strongman authoritarian rule you are against correct?
Right wing is for monarchists, theocrats and Military Juntas...
At least by the classical definition that the rest of the world uses.

Right wing freedom of speech at its finest.
Libertarians outside the US are left wing for a reason...
