Either way, government is evil. Remember, libertarian is a philosophy, not a political belief and the Libertarian Party gets a lot of flak for making compromises in order to be popular.
There's nothing wrong with calling yourself libertarian and supporting some sentimentalized conservative version of government, but government by definition violates the "non-aggression principle".
I don't disagree with you either, in fact you've really only restated what I said.
- ThomPete 12y agoAny organization that have it's own interest is potentially evil whether government or private enterprise. You can't define your way out of that.
- eglover 12y agoPotentially, but not by definition. That's an important difference. Only one has the potential to be good, and only one is controllable by the people who are truly effected by it.
- ThomPete 12y agoBoth have the potential to be both good and bad. If you are trying to promote some sort of ancap/libertarian approach lets just stop here that view is in my mind as naive as a communist view and there is no basis for those kind of moral claims.
- eglover 12y agoBy. Definition. That's all that needs to be known.
