Does anybody dream of living in one or just dreams of owning the one? I fail to see the upside of living in somebody's pocket soviet union when places like Singapure actually exist.
- lupusreal 2y agoSingapore certainly isn't for me, but I don't think you can call it unpopular by any means.
- thfuran 2y agoI wouldn't call it libertarian either.

- rsynnott 2y agoSome weirder libertarians do indeed seem to dream of living in one. > I fail to see the upside of living in somebody's pocket soviet union The sort of extreme libertarians who are keen on this sort of thing don't acknowledge that it would be like that, though; in their worldview, without a government, (only, effectively, an _owner_), all would be well. Now, this may sound suspiciously like warlordism or feudalism to some of us, but we're not the ones who want to live in these sorts of places. Singapore's completely different; it's rather authoritarian, but is generally a functioning state with strict regulation.
