Virtually all of this is wrong.

Those things do not have to be done by government.
Public schools are an abomination and indoctrination. Private schools exist.
Private roads exist.
Volunteer firefighters and voluntary fire services exist.
Private security exists and can exist in the absence of police, which democrats say they want to defund anyways.

The problem IS the centralized coercive government actually.
The idea that the problems disappear if only you could find the right guys to be the dictator is naive and wrong.
Great men like Rothbard and Mises have written about these topics at length.

Dont have to be, but are far more efficient when done centrally.

Not just more efficient - in many cases, valuable services would not exist without the state, period.

What if the road or power line to some remote farm is not economically feasible so that no private business would take on the cost?
What if there are not enough volunteer firefighters in a community?
What if a small-ish local community is faced with organized crime which overwhelms their private security?


Radical libertarianism would see vast swaths of the country completely uninhabitated because the infrastructure costs would be too high, and in the larger cities, the various fire and police departments would be organized under one banner which is effectively similar to local government anyway. There would still need to be a federal defense department and so on and forth.

Private schools were better than public ones. 60% of Brooklyn high schoolers fail.

I guess the quality of the average Brooklyn resident is just too low. *shrug*

Almost like humanity started in a pure libertarian environment and we immediately realized if you hit harder you can ignore the rules

The situation is actually much worse.

The quality of the average citizen is too low.

So the student doesn't show up to class but they pass anyway.

And the school doesn't want to be called racist, so it continues like this indefinitely.

Then we listen to the libshits talk about how charter schools are SoOoOoO BaD.

Na gov is trash at running schools

We used to be pretty good. Then neoconservatism took over and the mantra became sabotage the government to prove that government can't do anything right. In reality government can do things right when neocons aren't actively sabotaging them.

Radical ideologies are being spearheaded in public schools right now. Wouldn’t call any of the problem conservative in nature. The lack of conservatism is the biggest problem

Also I can run my own school better
