What It Feels Like To Be A Libertarian

[Matt Damon™]

Given the conduct of national governments in the 20th century, I'm honestly unsure as whether we can trust the state with arms let alone worry about citizens.

Big L Libertarianism automatically leads to despotism. North Korea is an example of what a big L Libertarian State would look like in short order.

Care to actually explain how you came to such an absurd conclusion?

Corporations and warlords would take over so it's not 'absurd'

Care to provide reasons? Otherwise you're talking about of your ass.

Ha, an almost totalitarian, extremely socially conservative state is an example of libertarianism? Good joke. 

See above. Libertarianism creates a massive power void which gets filled rapidly.

And in a libertarian society THAT WON'T MATTER.  You can't run around with the biggest guns and force people to do what you want.  That is NOT what a libertarian society is.  No matter how many times you guys try and say that it is, it still won't be.  If you don't know what you're talking about it's really easy to not look stupid by looking it up before you post.

I think Heinlein said it best: "An armed society is a polite society." 

Also, suspect that "donut" is related to Opebo.

No, I'm not.

That could happen but corporatocracy or a warlord taking over are both far more likely than a workers paradise.

[Matt Damon™]

Indeed. Try telling that to Libertarians though.

Since neither have actually occurred it's amazing you know the outcome.

Big L Libertarianism is ocurring right now in Somalia and briefly happened in post-katrina new orleans and marxism was tried in russia and china.

In theory you're right but in practice you're 100% wrong.

Thanks for the examp- oh.

What he said. Until you can give an actual example of a state that's tried to implement libertarianism your argument holds no weight.

Anarchist communes in spain.

In theory you're right but in practice libertarianism leads to chaos.
