No, I think that part of agreeing to live within a society is to agree to live within that society's norms and values. |
And throwing millions of non-violent people into prison if they don't agree, not to mention all the blood that has been spilled by your government to put down numerous tax resistance movements, secession attempts, and other serious forms of dissent.
Do you know the difference between Communism and Libertarianism? Communism was tried and failed, libertarianism is too stupid to be worth trying. |
Communism is irrational, completely detached from economic reality, and has never been able to exist on any significant scale without massive amounts of tyranny.
Libertarianism (i.e. free market capitalism) has shown itself to be a competitive advantage 100% of the time. Places like pre-socialist America or Hong Kong represent the benefits of small government, greater personal freedom, and greater recognition of natural rights.
If you believe greater forms of libertarianism are "too stupid to be worth trying", then why don't you call back your jackbooted thugs and just let us fail?
That is why there are still some communist states in the world, but the closest you will come to a "Libertarian" state is Somalia. Hey, if it's such a good idea, how come you lot don't move to Somalia and set up Libertopia? |
That propaganda talking point does NOT become any more true or any less stupid the more often you repeat it. Somalia is a failed communist / theocratic state. It has a big oppressive government, one of the worst in the world - it just happened to be fragmented and fighting with itself. Saying that Somalia has no government is kind of like saying Europe had no governments during the world wars!
