Yeah, (American) libertarianism is a form of anarchism that misses the big picture. They consider government as the only existing limit to individual freedom and forget about religion, corporations, prejudices, private use of force, etc, etc etc...

You people keep saying that, but I don't know where you're getting it from.  Any libertarian that tells you it's ok to have their power limited by anybody that isn't the government isn't a libertarian.

Of course, I'm describing the forum's libertarian core rather than the more moderate or atypical guys.

Maybe, but has anybody ever actually said it in those words?
Anybody?  Said it....in those words?  A libertarian that tells you it's ok to have their power limited by anybody that isn't the government?  Or anything even sorta like that?

Oh come on. Of course they don't put it that way, it's just the natural consequence of all their policy views. Get it ?

Acting dumb isn't exactly the best way to make your point.

Thanks God I took the precaution to distinguish between libertarian ideologues (wormyguy) and pragmatic people (you) 9 posts above.

BTW, who was this guy who made fun of me because I hadn't read a post ? Oh, right, that was you.

My apologies, I may have been coming across more confrontational here than I wanted to.

Apologies accepted.
