  From reading that article (until the paywall hits) it sounds like South Africa is a libertarian paradise - private security, private road repair, private fire brigade.

    Whenever folks like you denigrate 'lawless' libertarian shitholes, it always ends up that the reason such territories are so terrible is because of a government using its monopoly of violence to extract rent from business, either through outright taxation or currency inflation. Yet, every single time, people can't get the irony.

      Yes the ANC have a monopoly on violence in South Africa

        So SA doesn't qualify as libertarian then.

    SA still collects significant taxes and distributes them to cronies instead of using them for public goods. Not exactly a libertarian tenet.
