We're all libertarians at heart, but as an overarching political philosophy it fails, because it would take a basic shift in human nature to work. What's the incentive for the powerful to keep products safe, not damage the environment and provide a decent wage? It's never happened without democracy and a strong central government.
Show me one Libertarian, just one, who believes that there should be zero regulations on corporations.
I'll wait.
I'm one such libertarian, but of course I'm not referring to actual criminal actions such as fraud.
I don't see how you can say that without at least clarifying what you mean by "regulation". Do you think there should be laws requiring corporations to be honest? To fulfill contracts, implied or otherwise? To prevent fraud? To ensure transparent transactions?
I suspect you're in favor of these things and simply consider them to be something different than what others mean when they use the term "regulation". Otherwise, you're arguing for anarchism, which is another debate entirely. In any case, taking controversial positions hinged on equivocation isn't helpful.
