- brg 2y agoIMHO, Libertarianism fails not by collapse but by success. Any movement in the direction brings economic and social freedom, but in turn creates soft times in which a society's pendulum shift back to larger government is inevitable.
- pavlov 2y agoHere’s a funny recent one: https://newrepublic.com/article/159662/libertarian-walks-into-bear-book-review-free-town-project https://newrepublic.com/article/159662/libertarian-walks-int... “When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in” But surely there’s a million reasons why these were not True Libertarians, they were just doing it wrong, and the ideology is actually sound. Just like with communism.
