a question on libertarianism

[Tetro Kornbluth]

don't worry, these are people who make assumptions based on what they think they know, not by what's real.
Anarcho-capitalism is in no way authoritarian as it is against force.  Force is what makes something authoritarian.
It also isn't pro-corporation above individual rights.  When the red avatars learn that individual rights and business rights are aligned together against government.  Not government and individual against business, they could then undertand that it is government that elevates business to the level where they could become monopolies.  The only way a monopoly can exist is by means of government.

Great Post.

Too bad alot of libertarians seem to be "I don't want to pay my upkeep to society" types. That, and they seem to think that Africa is an inspiring economic model for us all.

Own Philosophy, btw.

Pre-Plantation Celtic Ireland was far, far from anything that could be Anarcho-capitalist.

More like a decentralized system of feuding tribes, ever heard of Brian Boru? And the Viking warlords were hardly "Anarchistic".

(And I wouldn't call such a society a great success, though it was more prosperous and educated - presuming one was with the church - then anyway else in Western Europe at that time. But that's like comparing Iraq - minus oil - in the 80s with Iraq today.)

So would I.

Libertarianism shouldn't be equated with Classical Liberalism really, which was a much more complex movement than most people here understand it (and was effectively in many countries, especially Latin American, basically Pro-British Imperialism).
