The Mindcrime Liberty Show discusses Kevin Carson and the broader left-libertarian movement. The left-libertarians would argue that legal and economic privilege is the cause of inequality in the world. The problem is why did certain individuals, families, societies or firms put themselves into a position to achieve privilege in the first place? If Trump, Bezos, Gates and Musk are rich because their father gave them a bunch of money and privilege, then how in the first place did those fathers (or fathers-fathers) acquire their fortunes/positions? If certain states and firms have the kinds of legal privileges as Carson and left-libertarians describes than how did they acquire them? If you do away with these in a one-time “power” jubilee what is to stop new dynasties from emerging? To be fair to the left-libertarians they aren’t as idiotic as the social democratic reformers who think somehow the state will control and reign in the powerful - on the contrary Carson makes the point that organizations like the FDA were created to help the powerful dominate other smaller firms. Nonetheless, the fact that some people are more powerful than others and it isn’t merely reducible to IP, regulations, or state criminalism, this is a problem for the left-libertarian understanding of the broader society.
