Presumably this is the case you’re citing: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/21534416/free-state-project-new-hampshire-libertarians-matthew-hongoltz-hetling https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/21534416/free-state-...
- WalterBright 1y agoThat sounds like a case of "Tragedy of the Commons", which is not free market. Also, police is a requirement because libertarianism relies on government to protect peoples' rights. Gutting the police department is what anarchists do, not libertarians. If you want to know of a successful libertarian experiement, see the founding of the United States. (Excluding the slave states, of course. Slavery is antiethical to libertarianism.)
- conception 1y agoYou mean the Articles of Confederation that failed because the government wasn’t strong enough?
- WalterBright 1y agoThe Articles of Confederation were not the founding of the United States. The founding was the Constitution.
