I often wonder if people who advocate for libertarianism are aware of the history of feudalism.
Like, you know that there are a bunch of places in the world that fundamentally operate on libertarian rulesets, right? You can go and try to be a warlord in the unrule-y sections of Africa or the Middle East if you really believe so strongly in it.
What exactly makes you philosophically opposed to living in the society you want that exists today rather than changing the society you live in to be different? Do you just not like the idea of learning the lingua franca?
- didgeoridoo 11y agoThis "if you like libertarianism so much, why don't you move to Somalia?" meme has got to stop. You're thinking of anarchism. Libertarianism REQUIRES a strong rule of law to ensure that individuals cannot trample on each other's rights.
- ancap 11y agoAnarchism, at least anarcho-capitalism (there are many flavors of anarchism), also requires a strong rule of law. The difference is the law is enforced through private parties, and the enforcement of law is reactive to the initialization of force. There is one overarching law and that is the non-aggression principle.
