Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.

Or is it a simple truth that a nanny stater like you can't handle?

Actually, Kennedy, Anarchism is a form of libertarianism
Libertarians want few laws. Anarchist want none.
Finally, the issue of the social contract is an understanding between government and citizen. Without it, then no government is preferrable. Rights are not recognized under any government with out SC. The only difference is that it is the citizenry oppressing the citizenry.
Even if you see that a social contract could lead to the violation of some ones rights, the lack of such an understanding could lead to chaos. To propose a government, the idea of establishing a basis of what the government can and can not do to the citizenry is necessary if one wish to have order in society.
So despite the fact that I plainly say in the first post that I am not an anarchist, I am advocating anarchy?
You attack the social contract that is the foundation of all civilization. When there is no social contract, there is no civilization, no ethics, no laws, no society. There is only anarchy and chaos/
If the People choose to form such a government, then the Libertarian you describe has two options- join in or leave the group and live elsewhere, apart from society.And because the libertarian does not believe in the right of a large group of people to force a smaller group of people to subsidize roads or libraries for them the libertarian is a mentally ill hermit in the mountains?
These are the implications of your ideology and the logical conclusions that must be drawn from your own words.

Another elegant, well-spoken, and logical rebuttal from one of our more esteemed posters
IMO, Libertarianism and Marxism are flip sides of the same coin. They both require a basic shift in human nature to work. Marxists expect all to work for the common good, but some will always shirk their duty and the system collapses as fewer and fewer work. Libertarians expect all to work for themselves with little or no governmental interference, ignoring the fact that given a laissez-faire attitude some of the strong will inevitably prey on the weak. Given that these human attributes are unlikely to change in the near future, both systems are doomed to failure.
Humans survived for millennia just the from way you described. It wasn't until civilization started removing the right to bear arms from those people you label as weak that the strong was able to dominate the weak
Libertarianism: Philosophical principle that suggests that a government's involvement in civil economical and social matters should be limited, and that the issues should be settled amongst civilians. Libertarianism seeks to provide free-will participants the ability to make decisive decisions without the government determining or influencing the outcome, as long as it does not harm other individuals. Libertarianism is based off the belief that each individual owns every aspect of their lives and thus should have the ability to control it. Libertarians strongly believe that through these shared principles, they are able to establish a more fruitful and peaceful society. Libertarianism traces its roots back to the early 1890s as societies tried to escape anti-anarchist laws in France.
Libertarianism definition
really?was Rand not named after Ayn?
you missed that thread? I mentioned this and Paul followers went ballistic. Truth hurts. Paul's pa is a lunatic so he named his spawn after a lunatic.
Apparently you missed the thread too, since it would have been made clear that he wasn't named after Ayn Rand.

apologies. I meant to click on Dante's post and got yours accidentally

We haven't even had guns for millenia. And you seriously think that the stronger caveman didn't exploit the weaker caveman or ever take his food, his cave, or his woman, I'll have difficulty taking you too seriously.

Did I say guns? I specifically said arms, as in weapons. Peasants were legally prohibited from owning swords by the noblity in order to prevent those weak people, who were the backbones of their army, from rising up and kicking them out of the neighborhood. Peasants were not weak, they were unarmed.
I am all but positive that stronger people always tried to dominate weaker people, but those weaker people are only going to be dominated if they choose not to fight. If they band together they will be strong enough to resist anyone.
Ahhh...the pedantic old "desert island" stalking horse again.
Can't you Fabian losers at least come up with some fresh strawmen?

Some libertarians are anarchists, but not all of them are.
Except it is always the government who gives itself the monopoly of interpreting the social contract, and therefore a monopoly on what it can and can not do to the citizenry. This is why the government is able to grow unchecked.

Then explain how it would work in the real world. Add a second person to the mix and suddenly you either have to start compromising or one dominates the other. IMHO, any attempt to create a libertarian society would inevitably lead to feudalism as the weak look to the strong for protection and end up losing the rights libertarianism is supposed to protect.

You know, it seems to me like you are arguing against having a government.
So I have to ask:What structure of government do you think is best for people?
Because even in a Direct Democracy, the government can grow unchecked. That is, the people can become to accustomed to solving their problems though the use of government.
