That said, many, many, people believe that most people are not competent, and need to be taken care of/controlled/limited.
Arguments I usually have to fight against are: What to do about crime. What to do about "evil" people. What to do about property rights. What to do about control in decisions.
- javert 13y agoI think "libertarian socialism" is a worse than worthless contradiction. There is a simple solution to all the problems you mention, which is to have a government that uses retaliatory force, but not initiatory force. America had one for about a century, and now there is the intellectual machinery needed to go back to that system and to define and defend it much more vigorously. Unfortunately, a majority of "advocates for freedom" are mucking around with things like "libertarian socialism" and "anarcho-capitalism" which are contradictions in terms and won't work.

- javert 13y agoWell, most libertarians are subjectivists. There is no possibility of objective knowledge of reality. You're showing your true colors. Unfortunately for you (until or unless you stop fighting the truth), objective knowledge is possible.
