this is just rubbish. information does not have to be perfect for
trade to be free. all that is required is for someone to want  to sell
something and someone else to want to buy it. perfect information is
not necessary.

wrong. fascism requires a strong central government. libertarians want
the state to be a small as possible. it is socialists, like you, who
want a strong government. in fact it is socialism that requires a
strong state. a small state is not capable of taking a large fraction
of everone's income by force (this is called 'tax').

every regulation imposed by government restricts freedom. clearly some
regulations are necessary, but libertarians want as few restrictions
on their personal freedom as possible. this includes being free to
earn their own money and spend their own money. socialists (like you)
want the state to forcably take other people's money and spend it.
thus transfering power from the individual to the state.
