I dunno, some of it is funny but some of it is stupid. I guess that happens when you vastly oversimplify economics/use national stereotypes. Whatever. Not meant to be taken seriously.

Also- This was posted by a self-proclaimed "Minarcho-capitalist", which I have never heard of. WTF is that?

Fucking stupid that's what. They are also called Minarchists (or some other stupid variations). They are basically "anarcho"-capitalists that realized that capitalism needs some sort of state to exist. They accept the existance of the smallest, most limited state possible; usually only dealing with law and order and the military. I'm no expert (because it's a waste of time) so I might be a tiny bit off but for some reason a long time ago I watched like a 20 minute rant on youtube from a Minarchist.
Freedom before Peace
I guess it means Minarchism, which is a branch of Libertarianism and is very close to Anarcho-Capitalism, it essentially considers the only purpose of the State to protect individuals & their liberties so would basically only provide a Police force, an Army, and the Courts, what would be called a "night watchman state". Robert Nozick is probably one of the most important exponents of this theory, with his book Anarchy, State and Utopia
Edit - yeah Leftsolidarity pretty much covered it

You realize that small-time farmers have been destroyed so you sell your cows to a big-time farmer for far less than they are worth, move to the city to work a shitty job that you can't support your family with. Eventually you resort to petty theft to support your family but get caught by the police. You go to jail and the state takes your kids. You get out of jail in 3 years to find your life is ruined. You kill yourself.
