Go start a non-trivial business and then tell me what you think about government. How non-trivial would you like? Many of the really non-trivial business ventures in history were started and run by governments at first, as they were simply too risky as private ventures. Personally I think right-wing libertarianism is just basically what happened when conservatives started having to power-share and so they realised that they were no longer in sole control of government, which they really hate, so some of them decided it must be overthrown. Then they realised that the people they were now most closely aligned with are hippy anarcho-syndicalists, and out of the result of the ensuing nervous collapse and confusion, the modern libertarian movement was born. [edit] I got thinking about what happens when you cross conservatives with anarchists and got an image of dishevelled mud covered people who are mistrustful of interference from the government, but with lots of guns and land and money. And I suddenly realised that the image in my head strongly matches most members of the UK aristocracy. I bet Liz sings Sex Pistols songs in the bath while scrubbing shit off her toenails after scrubbing out the horses.
