    Is libertarianism synonymous with capitalism?

    What values are devoid of profiting?

    If say, a socialist argued that the average Russian in 1960 was better off than in 1880, and while technology played a positive role, so did the political system, then wt:thon would be arguing that socialism—at least that variant—has profited the average Russian more than monarchy—at least that variant.

    and please answer the questions in my previous post, regardless on how it’s probable that neither of us have enough information and knowledge to answer something so hypothetical, with a great amount of authority.

        Very well. I’ll answer them.

        They aren’t the same;

        80 years after, the average Russian probably profited more;

        and an armed population would probably be bad for gangsters and the cartels, and perhaps the rich and powerful.
