How does the left (progressives or socialists) explain the destruction of public property (paid for with taxes) after losing elections? An ethical comparison: Ancap vs. the Left

Hello everyone, as you know, a right-wing president recently won the elections, where the results were very close. And let's not forget that the country is very polarized, with everyone attacking each other without thinking about why they're doing it.

Okay, let's start with the basics: the left has a strong foundation in values ​​like, you know, equality, respect, and so on. But now that this president has won, they're destroying public property—property that people pay for through their taxes. I'm not being prejudiced; I saw it with my own eyes. And after seeing that, I now think they're going to destroy other public things, like transportation, traffic signs, and much more. All because they lost. And this raises the question: Is this consistent with the values ​​they defend, like solidarity, the common good, and non-violence? Because they are blatantly violating the principles of non-aggression, and even more absurdly, they're destroying public property that people pay for with their taxes.

It's literally inconsistent for me that they're committing so many violations of public property, so I ask you: How do you explain this contradiction? Is this consistent with an ethic that claims to defend the poorest?

Is a hybrid economy good or bad?

Hello, I'm writing to ask about an economic system that's causing me some confusion. As you know, there are several types of economies, such as market economies and planned economies. But the one I'm currently living in has a hybrid economy. If my research is correct, it's described as a system that combines elements of both market and planned economies—that is, capitalism with state intervention. It aims to balance market efficiency and freedom with government intervention to ensure equity, stability, and social objectives. From what I've researched (for example, Rothbart, etc.), the term "crony capitalism" seems to reflect this economic system. Colombia, for instance, has a hybrid economic system with private sectors regulated by the state. My question is, how effective is this system in making a country prosper? What flaws, both serious and minor, do you see in this system?
