Wouldn't it be fun...

to take all the Libertarians and Libertarian wannabees and drop them off on an island somewhere with NO social services and watch them claw each other to death?

Oh, we'd protect them with the military if someone tried to invade.

It would be even more fun to watch the generational welfare frauds try to form a society without other people"s money.

 

[☭proletarian☭]

Worst troll post of the day.

You can do better.

 

[California Girl]

Or.... let's make the progressives live according to the Constitution. Damn, that would be fun to watch.

I couldn't watch, actually.

Or send Ravi to India to work on an IBM helpdesk!

Wouldn't that be fun?

Donald E Westlake had a series of short stories about that.

Space travel had progressed to a level where different planets were colonized by folks of different political beliefs. This one for that ideaology, another one for another.

In no case did it work out well.

Great idea!

Only you'd have nobody left to fund your welfare check Ravi.

I really don't think your thought this one through!

I knew there might be a downside.

But I'm willing to take that risk if for no other reason that the entertainment value.

Actually, something similar is going on in Ivory Coast. It seems to be working quite well. The libertarian half is a lot better off than the nanny state half.

Libertarians who identify themselves as capitalists aren't really champions of liberty. The type of society they call for would devolve into a sort of neo-feudalism in which corporations acted as "lords" and the general population as their serfs. True libertarians are advocates of libertarian socialism.

When I think "City on a Hill", Bouake isn't the first place that comes to mind...

Never heard of "Atlas Shrugged", have you?

Prolly not, as it never came out as a Classic Comic Book.

I don't base my views on fairy tales. Obviously, you do.

You start small and make progress. 200 years ago when John Adams and the rest of them moved down there, DC was just some whitewashed granite buildings dropped hodge podge in a swamp known for the voracity of its mosquitos.

A city on a hill starts out as a couple tar paper shacks on the hill. With the right kind of hard work and sacrifice, a city can grow. With the wrong attitude, you get nothing.

Yeah, right....

I'll give you a couple of hints as to the plot:

The industrialists and entrepreneurs go on strike and permanent vacation. Rather than your sappily stale "idea" of putting us all on an island somewhere, they do the shuffle off to Buffalo all on their own and don't tell anyone where they are.

Ingrate collectivist drips like you subsequently have nobody to leech off of, and it ain't pretty.

I'm sure your in there somewhere, as one of the antagonists, but I've yet to figure out which character.

Really? Not me! I think it would be one big gruesome dog fight.
