Wasn't it the FBI/DEA that offered the narco-violence? Kind of throws a wrench into your libertarian utopia claims, when the murder-for-hire is a result of state intervention.
- tptacek 4y agoThe "intervention" here is setting up a murder-for-hire sting?
- notch656a 4y agoI'm referring to both the offering of murder for-hire by federal undercover/informants, as well as the government creating the concocted problem of the release of names for which they offer a violent solution. I don't think even in the indictment is there any murder-for-hire not offered by federal agents or informants.
- pxmpxm 4y agoThat's the irony of it all - when faced with a real world issue of extortion and theft, given the opportunity the libertarian drug utopia solution matches the one of a Central American cartel. All those libertarian manifestos that Ulbricht dabbled in are just a marketing veneer of the stereotypical criminal organization.
- notch656a 4y agoSo far you've proven that FBI and DEA offers of murder for hire do not fit in line with 'Libertarian' utopia. I don't think anyone is contesting that. Ulbricht wasn't living in a utopia, nor are many people going to argue his acts perfectly reflect some vague notion of any utopia.
